sysdate was not updating while loading

[#1]

Hi Team,

I am extracting data from SAP ECC and loading it in Oracle database.

For every table I have included 2 columns. one for load_date and another for update_date.

for both columns i have hard coded as sysdate(). it will displaythe system date, but some time it is showing the last loaded date.

kindly help me on this.

Thanks and Regards,

In any case,this is not good practice. Using sysdate() in a mapping will result in evaluating the function for every record retrieved. Even twice in your case!

It's much more efficient to assign the sysdate to a global variable, in a script before the data flow, and then use that variable in the mappings. All your records processed in a single job execution will then contain exactly the same value for load_date and update_date columns.
