I'm not certain but i think what you want is something like this... deltaQuery="select '${dataimporter.request.do_this_id}'" deltaImportQuery="select ... from destinations where DestID='${dataimporter.delta.id}' " ...and then hit the handler with a URL like..
/dataimport?config=data-config.xml&command=delta-import&do_this_id=XYZ& Normally, the job of deltaQuery is to pick a list of IDs based on the ${dataimporter.last_index_time}, and the ndeleteImportQuery fetches all the data for those Ids -- but in your case you don't care about the last index time, you just want to force it to index a specific id. so you just need to select that id as is in your request params. : <entity name="place" query="select DestID,DestinationName,Geo_ : Long,Geo_Lat,Address,City,State,Zip,PhoneNumber,cost from destinations" : deltaQuery="select DestID from destinations where : CreationDate > '${dataimporter.last_index_time}'" : deltaImportQuery="select : DestID,DestinationName,Geo_Long,Geo_Lat,Address,City,State,Zip,PhoneNumber,cost : from destinations where DestID='${dataimporter.delta.id}'" : > : : However I really dont want to use CreationDate, but rather just pass in the : id (as done in the deltaImportQuery) - Can I do that directly - if so how do : I specify the value for dataimporter.delta.id? : : (P.S. sorry for a new thread, I kept getting my mail bounced back when I did : a reply, so I'm trying a new thread.) : -Hoss
