Snap After Union Executing Before All Inputs Are Received

I have the following flow, and I’m noticing that Exe Contract Amendment is getting executed before the all inputs from Union Original are received. Is that expected? If so, how do I get the Exe Contract Amendment snap to wait for the union?

    Be careful with Gate… it accumulates all documents in memory and could consume all available resources if you are processing a large number of records.

    You could use Sort after the Union instead, which will cache to disk and will wait for all input documents to be processed before continuing to the next snap.

    It is because the parse method expects a number but you are providing a string value.
    You need to parse the “Modified_Date”, you can do so by using parseInt(string).

    In your case would be:

    parseInt($Modified_Date)

    And the full expression to format the date would be:

    Date.parse(parseInt($Modified_Date))

    Hi @ykoppisetty

    You can use the Date.parse() function.
    You need to pass the unix timestamp as a parameter.

    Input

    Date.parse(1445910469510)

    Output

    2015-10-27T01:47:49.510 Etc/UTC

    Hi @j.angelevski can you tell how to get dynamically?

    For example, the below field contain all the UNIX date formats so how to get normal date formats dynamically?

    Modified_Date
    1445910469510
    1443298668240
    1428458098640

      Date.parse($your_input_date).toLocaleDateTimeString({“format”:“yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss”})
      You can change your desired formatting in this section : “format”:“yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss”
      Place this expression into mapper snap and dynamically your_input_date will be picked up and formatted accordingly.

        Hi @j.angelevski @shashish.jha
        When I am trying through dynamically I am getting the below error.

        Can you please resolve this error. I have also tried the @shashish.jha formula. But that’s also getting error. Please help me on this.

        Thank you.

    If that is the field you have in the input document, then you can simply use:

    Date.parse($Modified_Date)
