append

Add fields to the data extract from another datastream or subtable.

Introduction

Use the append enrichment to add fields to the data extract from another datastream or subtable. Identical columns are concatenated. New columns are added by default, behaving identically to an outer join.

Creating the enrichment

For more information on creating an enrichment, see Using custom scripts.

Configuring the enrichment

To configure the enrichment, fill in the following fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Streams

Specify the names of the datastreams from which to add data to the data extract.

Subtables

Specify the names of the subtables from which to add data to the data extract.

Meltdown

Select this checkbox to add data extracts from the current datastream.

All

Select this checkbox to add data from all data extracts. If you leave this checkbox deselected, only data from the most recent data extract is added.

Process extracts by

Specify the order in which data extracts are added. Select one of the following:

  • (Default) Start adding data from the most recently scheduled fetch.

  • Start adding data from the most recently created fetch.

Include Tags

Specify tags to only include datastreams with these tags.

Exclude Tags

Specify tags to exclude datastreams with these tags.

Errors

To configure Adverity's behavior when an error occurs during the enrichment process, select one of the following:

  • (Default) Select strict to notify you about the error and stop the enrichment process.

  • Select ignore to ignore the error and continue the enrichment process.

  • Select raise to notify you about the error and continue the enrichment process.

Subtable

Enter the name for a subtable that you want to contain the enriched data. The enrichment is applied to the whole data extract, then the enriched data is output into the subtable you have named here.

This subtable is a temporary table, which means it only exists for this custom script. You can apply additional instructions within the same custom script to the subtable. However, the subtable cannot be used in any other custom scripts.
