Hi All,

 

We are using parquet file format and in mapping set I am trying to insert current timestamp into one of the attributes.

Tried below Mapping configuration

 

 

 "sourceType": "ATTRIBUTE",
          "source": "current_timestamp()",
          "destination": "_XXXXX.systemTime"
      }
 
"sourceType": "ATTRIBUTE",
          "source": "{{now()}}",
          "destination": "_XXXXX.systemTime"
      }
 
Timestamp is not ingested. any help will be appreciated!!

I am trying to set current date in mapping set and using API to set this.

 

foundation/conversion/mappingSets


it worked with below 

"sourceType": "EXPRESSION",
          "source": "{{now()}}",
          "destination": "_XXXXX.systemTime"
      }
 
Thanks for your inputs

Hi @indra-2 

 

you may want to check out the "date and time functions" section in the documentation

    Hi @indra-2 

    just tried to reproduce this by a datastream mapping with now() to prop9 in the datastream mapping configuration.

     

     

    In my assurance session, I can see the timestamp being mapped

     

     

    Waiting for the data to show in AA, but I am fairly certain that this should work at least on that side.

     

    Wondering whether why it should be any different in your mapping.

    Else, I would reach out to support about this

    Cheers from Switzerland!
