Get LoadID

Tools

Description

Gets a load ID from Semarchy xDM and stores it in a variable. This ID is either generated, or retrieved from a Semarchy xDM continuous load. You need this load ID to load data into a Semarchy xDM data location.

Semarchy xDI stores the load ID in an XDM_LOAD_ID variable by default.

Parameters

Name

Mandatory

Description

Load ID Type

true

Type of load ID:

Standalone Load ID: Creates a new external load and returns its ID. You must explicitly submit this load after loading the data, and you can cancel this load.
Continuous Load ID: Retrieves the ID of an existing Semarchy xDM Continous Load. Data loaded in continuous loads is automatically processed on that load’s schedule, using its pre-defined integration job. You do not need to submit this load, and cannot cancel it.

When using a continuous load, load data using a database transaction where possible. By doing so, you make sure that all required data is loaded before the transaction commit, and that you can roll back this transaction in case of data integration errors.
