The Set use delta settings pipeline step
You use the Set use delta settings pipeline step to build a filter that only reads objects that have been set within a specified date or time range. This topic explains how the pipeline step works and how you configure it.
You can find the template for the Set use delta settings pipeline step in /sitecore/Templates/Data Exchange/Framework/Pipeline Steps/Set Use Delta Settings Pipeline Step .
Configuring the Set use delta settings pipeline step
You configure the following information on the pipeline step:
|
Section |
Field |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Delta Value |
Context Value Reader |
The value reader that you use to read a specified date or time from the pipeline context. |
|
Offset |
Operator |
The type of date range. There are four options:
|
|
Offset |
Together with the Unit of Time value, this determines the duration of the offset period. Enter a positive integer value to signify a date or time after the delta value datetime, and a negative integer value to signify a date or time before the delta value datetime. | |
|
Unit of Time |
The unit of the Offset value. The options are, for example, Years, Months, Weeks, and Days. For example, if you set the Offset field to 1 and the Unit of Time field to Days, then the pipeline step adds 1 day to the delta value datetime to find the date to use in the date range. |
The pipeline steps logic
The Set Use Delta Settings pipeline step reads the objects that have been set for the date or time range you have configured for the step.
For example, if you set the Context Value Reader field to the value reader of the last pipeline batch execution, and the Operator field to On or after the selected date, the pipeline steps read the objects set after the last execution of the pipeline batch.
