Thanks - the best way forward here is to get the map to produce the correct results. The problem is that the link from DateTime forces the output node to be created every time, even if the sub-record is not relevant. This could have been worked around using an If/then functoid to suppress the Date/Time value, but using our new Passive Value functoid is a little neater. This stops a value being pushed out by a link from being active, and thus means that it won't automatically create the output node unless something else causes this. I'll email you an updated copy of your map and schema.

Thanks,

Ben.

Workflow support

Attached is a schema with the input, output, mapping, and workflow items for the project I’m currently working. My scenario is as follows:
I’m receiving a flat file (“logfiletestdata.logdata” is a sample snippet of 50 records) and populating it into the “ddl_flat_file_inbound” structure. I’m mapping Records 01, 15, 16 and 26 into an “HOSRecord” outbound structure. I have also setup a workflow, “logdata_to_hosdata”, but have yet to complete that item.

The map works fine; however, I am populating a record with duplicate data for each record I’m not mapping. I assume the workflow component will eliminate the duplicate mapping. I’m just not sure how to proceed as there is no example to work from.

If you have an opportunity to review my work, I’d greatly appreciate any assistance or advice you could offer.
