RC1 Update 3 adds a new Null function, which (to me) sounds like it should flow a null value into the destination attribute. I have a case where i am flowing a date from SQL into the metaverse. Just for testing, I tried a basic flow of:
Null()->employeeEndDate
This seems to function the same as this:
""-employeeEndDate
Both will add the employeeEndDate attribute to the metaverse object with a blank (not null) value. To me, Null() seems like it should be equivalent of mventry("employeeEndDate").Delete, but it doesn't seem to. Ultimately, what I want is to flow the value in if it is present in my connector space, and delete it if it is not. Something like this:
IIF(IsPresent(TermDate),DateTimeFormat(TermDate,"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.000"),Null())
Anyone have any thouse on this? Is there an easier to way to do this that I am overlooking?
Thanks,
Keith
