Assigning simple Java output to a Variable

Question

Is it possible to have a variable in a package that gets assigned a value from a call to core Java method so that I can use that variable across all interfaces in the package. Here's what I'd like to see (pseudo code)
--Package execution start
--Assing java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString() to variable "UUID"
--Run interface 1
--map #UUID into a field
-- Run interface 2
-- map same #UUID value into a field
-- End execution start
Thanks,
Michael

Answer 1

yes it is possible. You have to create one odi procedure for this. Inside odi procedure take the technology as java beanshell and write the code like below.
<@
//java codes hoes here
String java_v="Bhabani";
//java codes hoes here
@>
Now drag this procedure into odi package. next drag another odi variable to odi package. In set mode assign the java variable to the odivariable as follows.
<@=java_v@>
Its done. You are reeady to use the odi variable everywhere you need in the same package.
