Append Querry DB2 and Txt File not working

[stanislav_dugas]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem. I am trying to append 2 querries one has as a source a DB2 connection and another txt.file.

When i had this query settup that both had source as txt file there was no problem to append querry but the moment i change the source to DB2 even when the data output is the same i get a problem that queries do not get appended.

All that happens is enless loading. And the system is trying to append them but nothing happens even after waiting for a long time.

Do you have any idea what could be the problem?

Thank you for any advice.

Hi @stanislav_dugas ,

Please try to create a new .pbix file, connecting to DB2 directly and appending with the .txt file. Will the issue still appear?

In addition, how about using Table.Buffer to buffer a table in memory, isolating it from external changes during evaluation?

Best regards

Hi @Icey  thank you for your idea I was able to bypass the issue since it was all about performance. By adding the DB2 source, the performance of loading time for the data deteriorated quite significantly. So What I did was that I refreshed the model before the data entered the DB2 and appended query with .txt.

Since it had 0 rows on DB2 the appending worked fine and then I moved the model to reporting server which has much higher computing power then my Laptop and scheduled a refresh there with the full DB2 data. Now it is working fine as the update is happening on the server.

This is how the loading looks like:
