Task data filter against a repository is not populating

If your data filter step is not populating the repository, this article explains how to check the filter configuration and ensure memory is correctly defined on the relevant step.

If the repository is not populating, the filter may be set to 'process all rows'. When this is enabled, all rows pass through the task without being stored in the repository. Follow these steps to check the filter setting:

  1. Log in to TaskCentre.

  2. Open the relevant task.

  3. Open the relevant Data Filter step.

  4. On the **Main** tab, select the **Repository** filter.

  5. On the **Processing** tab, ensure this is not set to **Process all rows**.

If the filter setting is correct, check that the step using memory has memory defined. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the relevant task.

  2. Open the **Send Message (SMTP)** step.

  3. On the **Main** tab, click **Memory**. If the memory type field is blank, no memory has been defined.

  4. With the Memory Definition form open, click **Add**.

  5. Select the memory type.

  6. Click **OK**.

  7. Drag the columns to be used in the repository from the record source in the Browser pane to the Items to Memorise.

  8. Click **OK** to save.

  9. Click **OK** to save the memory definition.

  10. Click **OK** to save the step.

  11. Click **Apply** to save the task.
