Get LoadID

Tools

Description

Gets a load ID from the Semarchy xDM repository. The load ID is required to load data into Semarchy xDM data location.

The retrieved load ID is stored in the SEM_LOAD_ID variable.

Parameters

Name

Mandatory

Description

Load ID type

true

Type of load ID:

new: Creates a new external load and returns its ID. Such a load needs to be explicitly submitted after the data is loaded. You can also cancel this load.
continuous: Retrieves the ID of an existing Semarchy xDM Continous Load. Data loaded using a continuous load is automatically processed on a schedule. You do not need to submit such a load, and cannot cancel it.

When using a continuous load, you should preferably load data using a database transaction, to guarantee that all the required data is loaded before the transaction commit, and that this transaction can be rolled back should an error occur during data integration.
