Hi Guys,

I need your help in one issue. In orchestrator i got asset where are name of queues. For example assset look like :queue1;queue2;queue3.
And now im using “get asset” in studio. What kind of variable should be output ? Because I need use for each for queue1, queue2, queue3

Many thanks for help

@fudi5, If you have given the value in assets as Text then you can get the output as string and loop by splitting with delimeters (;). If this is not your need, can u elaborate ?

It is text. But i dont know why i can not use “string” type. The error is:

error

Hey @fudi5, I believe it works perfect with string as output datatype. Can you check once again by deleting the activity and start with fresh one by drag & drop ? If not screenshot of your implementation will be very helpful.

@Dominic,

Can You tell me how it is working. I got DT.Rows(0).Item(item.ToString)… i know that call a column with index 0 but what item is needed here… i dont get it.

Thanks

Piotr,

DT.Rows(0) → First Row from the datatable
DT.Rows(0).Item() → To get the elements from that row (here first row)
DT.Rows(0).Item (item.ToString) → item.TOString refers some columnName
[Might be running a for each item in DataColumnCollection thats where item taken as columnName]

Also value of a cell from datatable can be extracted many ways as follows,

  1. Dt.Rows(0)(0).TOString → Using Indices of rows and columns
  2. Dt.Rows(0)(“ColumnName”).TOString → Using ColumnNames
  3. Dt.Rows(0).Item(“ColumnName”).TOString → Item Property to use along with different datatypes here string

Big thx for explain it. But in my case im using it to write data into datatable so this is not only extrat method data but write down too ?? So if i want write down some value to specific column and row which patter will be good ?

I dont undestand it:

coz row index in this case 0 and column name for example “a” is not the same ?

Many thanks

For updating the value in a datatable, you can use assign activity as mentioned below,

dt.Rows(0)(0) = "value"

Without knowing columnName we can use columnIndex but remember that if column position changes then there is no meaningful.
