Grouping by a common identifier using outputs from select operations

Posted on by LTSIG

Hi,

I am working on a flow to push data back into a webservice and having some pain getting it to send each line individually.

The data is the output of 2 selects. One includes ID & Order the other ID & RouteID. The ID is the common identifier. I need it to show as "RouteID, ID, & Order" for each order number line currently when parsing the data it shows all the order numbers in one the list and will not split them (I have tried multiple techniques to split the order numbers). The webservice can only accept 1 response at a time so I cannot send grouped order numbers.

Example;

{

"ID": "9154",

"Order Number": [

"1769000",

"1771018",

"1769115",

"1755243",

"1757047",

"1761184",

"1764253",

"1771225",

"383933",

"1771165",

"1769848",

"1771228",

"1770271",

"1771185",

"1771313",

"1771124",

"1769825",

"1770209"

"RouteID": "17810"

}

The SQL that pushes it back in in short needs the Route ID and Order on its own line.

Thanks.

Hi @LTSIG

Here is the sample flow.

I have stored input object in compose action:

{
"ID": "9154",
"Order Number": [
"1769000",
"1771018",
"1769115",
"1755243",
"1757047",
"1761184",
"1764253",
"1771225",
"383933",
"1771165",
"1769848",
"1771228",
"1770271",
"1771185",
"1771313",
"1771124",
"1769825",
"1770209"
],
"RouteID": "17810"
}

Add Select action and enter an expression in 'From' parameter. Expression needs to be added in the expression box as shown below:

outputs('Compose')?['Order Number']

Enter the Map/key as plain text & set expression for each key item:

Key Value

RouteID outputs('Compose')?['RouteID']

ID

outputs('Compose')?['ID']

Order item()

The output of select action will give you an array than you iterate and pass each item to web service.

Output:

Sill not having much luck this is where the flow is currently.
The data is help as above in the compose 1 section but I am unable to break the order numbers down.

{
  "Driver ID": "9178",
  "Order Number": {
    "body": [
      {
        "Order Number": [
          "1769548",
          "1771657",
          "1771563",
          "1766908",
          "1769360",
          "1769549",
          "1771602",
          "1771111",
          "1770274",
          "1765406",
          "1769249",
          "1771651",
          "1770155",
          "1771546"
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "RouteheadID": "17873"
}

Thanks.
