Matt, My issue is that when I am trying to assign current date to sys_creat_ts for every record, I am getting this error that it cannot be null. SYS_CREAT_TS is not coming from the source. It is present in the target table alone and I need to load the current datetime in that field for every record that is coming from source.
Mark, I am still getting the same error. Also, actv_ind must display just “Y” in the target table.

Would recommend you change the property names to /ACTV_IND and /SYS_CREAT_TS. Also, the value that you have for /sys_creat_ts is set to "{now()}" but I think what you really are wanting is "${now():toNumber()}". Also, of note, /actv_ind is set to '/Y' so I just want to clarify that the literal value '/Y' (with the single quotes) is what will be placed there. Is that the intention? Or did you actually want just /Y to be there? Thanks -Mark On Oct 16, 2017, at 11:41 AM, Aruna Sankaralingam <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I updated to version 1.4 now. I am using Updaterecord processor. I have assigned values to two of the columns that are there in the target table as shown below but I am getting the error that SYS_CREAT_TS cannot be NULL. Am I missing something? I have provided the screenshots of the CSVReordWriter, AVROSchemaRegistry and my Nifi Flow below. <image004.png> <image005.png> CSVRecordSetWriter: <image001.png> AVROSchemaRegistry: <image002.png> <image006.png> From: Koji Kawamura [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2017 8:28 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Transformations using Nifi Hi Aruna, If you can not upgrade from NiFi 1.2.0, then I think the best bed is using: ScriptedReader or ScriptedRecordSetWriter for data conversion #1, 2 and 3. As Russ mentioned, EL might be helpful when you implement the scripted components. #4 is a bit harder since it requires a database connection, but doable, I don't know it works efficiently though.. Alternative approach would be create a temporary table, insert rows as they are, then perform a insert/update query using the temporary table and postgresql lookup table such as: "insert into X select a, b, c, from T inner join L on X.j = T.j where d = ..." Probably data conversion #1, 2, and 3 can be performed from this query as well.

I started writing a book a year ago, but it's a pretty thankless task and takes a lot of time. I mostly write custom processors so I tend to see the world differently from most "user" users of NiFi. When I answer questions, which I don't do too much, I often tell an impractical story that doesn't answer the question asked. Now, I haven't done much database work at all, so I'm not going to be too much help to you. However, looking at your questions, particularly the one about obtaining the current date when the flow is run (#2) and also #3, I would suggest that you study the NiFi Expression Language. This would allow you to insert the "now" date into your flow at some point. The other suggestions I have are to experiment, which I'm sure you're doing, and Google hard for help. For this forum, which is filled with very nice and helpful people, you'll tend to get a lot more and better help if you come in with a very specific question rather than a list of things or a general, "help me" sort of plea. Cheers, Russ P.S. NiFi absolutely rocks, which you'll see as soon as you get over your initial hump here. But, you're on the right track.

Thanks Aruna From: Aruna Sankaralingam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 11:26 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Transformations using Nifi I am trying to see what kind of transformations that can be done in nifi and how. Now I have a basic flow that takes CSV from the local dir and puts into s3 and loads into postgres database. There are 4 columns in my test file 3 of which are string and one is an integer field. I would like to do the following before I load the data into postgres. If someone can help me on how to go about these, it will be great. 1. Convert one of the string columns to upper case For converting to upper case, I was told to use the Update Record processor but my version is 1.2.0 and the update record processor is not available. 2. Postgres has an extra column called “Load_Date” in which I would like to load the current date with timestamp when the flow is run 3. If the integer column has more than 5 digits, I would like to take only the first 5 digits and load to the table 4. There is a look up table in postgres. I would like to check if the first column value is present in the look up table and if yes, proceed ahead and if not ignore the record I am trying to learn nifi so I would really appreciate any kind of help here. Is there any training available online that I can take in order to understand and do all these? <image003.png>
