Making an insert query generic in ODI procedure

Question

Hi,
i am writing a procedure in ODI to insert in a table my sql is simple:
Insert into ci_txn_header_k
select t.txn_header_id,f.env_id
from ci_txn_header t,f1_installation f
where t.bo_status_cd='PEND' and t.txn_header_id not in (select txn_header_id from ci_txn_header_k)
I wish to make this query generic and use the ODI ref functions in it.can i get the schema and table name using the Odiref functions. If so then plz guide me how

Hi,
Import all tables referenced in your query into a logical model / models.
ci_txn_header_k
ci_txn_header,
f1_installation f
Lets assume you import the tables into one Logical model / schema called 'GENERIC'
Then simply reference them using <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L""CI_TXT_HEADER","GENERIC","GLOBAL","D")%>
Im using context 'GLOBAL' in my example above, replace with your context.
So something like :
Insert into <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","CI_TXT_HEADER_K","GENERIC","GLOBAL","D")%> k
select t.txn_header_id,f.env_id
from
<%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","CI_TXN_HEADER","GENERIC","GLOBAL","D")%> t,
<%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","F1_INSTALLATION","GENERIC","GLOBAL","D")%> f
where t.bo_status_cd='PEND' and t.txn_header_id not in (select txn_header_id from <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","CI_TXN_HEADER","GENERIC","GLOBAL","D")%>)
Hope this helps, check out the API Substitution ref for a guide, also worth looking at Knowledge Modules and how they build up From clauses in LKM and IKM steps - you can learn a lot by referencing the existing code that ships with the product.
