[solved]Running Different Data on same operators and 2 others Q

blueearth

Hi ...i have 11 different data sets and i want to run them on some operators in one process
but i want to to know how to do that with out duplicating operators for 11 times
i mean is there a way to connect all data sets to operators and they read them respectively and  append all data with log and log to data and make a final exel from them?

Second Question: if there is no way for doing what i described ..how can i copy operators in same process with out change in their arrangment...cause when i copy operators they don't  have the original arrangment ..
thanks

Third Question : if i got two processes ...is there a way that second process start automatically as the first process finished?

Very good questions. I split my answer into three posts for better readability.

First Answer: You can Collect your data and then use Loop Collection. Please see the attached process.

Second answer: There is already a bug report for the copy-paste issue: http://bugs.rapid-i.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018

Third Question : if i got two processes ...is there a way that second process start automatically as the first process finished?

Yes, you can use the Execute Process operator for this. Just put it at the end of your first process to call the second process.
You can even pass data and macros from one process to another.

Best, Marius
