Description:
============
The requirement is to populate the PRODUCTID with sequence.nextVal during the Import operation.

Environment:
===========
TIBCO Product name and version: TIBCO Collaborative Information Manager 8.0.1
Operating System(s): All Operating Systems
Database: Oracle

Symptoms:

N/A

Cause:

Resolution:

There are two ways of doing this:

1). Use the following Oracle function that returns the nextval for the sequence:

CREATE OR REPLACE function TESTSEQ return number is
v_num number;

begin
select MYSEQ.NEXTVAL into v_num from dual;
return v_num;
end;

Here MYSEQ is the sequence in question.

2). Call the sequence from the rulebase of the ImportCatalogRecords activity:

        &ltaction>
            &ltassign>
                &ltvar&gtPRODUCTID</var>
                &ltop func="sequence">
                    &ltconst type="string"&gtMYSEQ</const>
                </op>
            </assign>
        </action>

Refer to the CIM Workflow Guide for more details on how to use the rulebase in conjunction with ImportCatalogRecords activity.
