I have a dataset which has a country field in it (about 50 countries). I basically filter my dataset (about 1m rows) per country and then create an IOK file for each country based upon a template. I use the batch block output in DataManager out had an idea for a new output block. It would basically combine a record filter and an output block. You would select one column to split the data by and it would create an one output file for as many items in that category that was split and create a file name based upon a mask (similar to the timestamp mask) and then append the split name to the end of the mask.

eg - Split by: [Source Country]
File mask: Country Detail File -
Template: Country Detail File Template.iok
Output Type: IOK/IOM

This would have less functionality than the batch output but would enable much quicker splitting of data files into multiple files.

If you think its a good idea, would be happy to discuss further

Idea: Splitting data sets in outputs? http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1186/idea-splitting-data-sets-in-outputss Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:37:15 -0500 mburgess 1186@/discussions
This would need to be dynamic as number of combinations may vary by report, by retailer, by time period.

I can identify each unique combination with a reference by collapsing the fields i want to use, but i cannot seem to find a way to then split it either within Omniscope or as part of a publish/export command.

Does this exist, if not could it exist in the future?

Thanks, Matt]]>
