Code Area

This is where you write your APL code. For further information about the code area and its right-click menu, see Text Editor in <Administration and Management>.

Compilation Test...

Use this button to compile your code and check that it is valid. The status of the compilation is displayed in a dialog. Upon failure, the erroneous line is highlighted and a message, including the line number, is displayed.

Use this button to display or hide the APL Code Editor Outline navigation panel. The navigation panel provides a view of all the blocks, variables and methods in an APL code configuration and makes it possible to easily navigate between different types in the APL code. For further information on the Outline navigation panel, see <Administration and Management>.

Defragment Session Storage Files

For batch workflows, the Aggregation session storage can optionally be defragmented to minimize disk usage. When checked, configure the defragmentation parameters:

Defragment After Every [] Batch(es)

Run defragmentation after the specified number of batches. Enter the number of batches to process before each defragmentation.

Defragment if Batch(es) Finishes Within [] Second(s)

Set a value to limit how long the defragmentation is allowed to run. This time limitation depends on the execution time of the last batch processed. If the last batch is finished within the specified number of seconds, the remaining time will be used for the defragmentation. The limit accuracy is +/- 5 seconds.

Defragment Session Files Older Than [] Minute(s)

Run defragmentation on session storage files that are older than this value to minimize moving recently created sessions unnecessarily often.

Cancel Batch

The agent itself does not emit Cancel Batch messages. However, if the code contains a call to the method cancelBatch this causes the agent to emit a Cancel Batch.

Hint End Batch

If the code contains a call to the method hintEndBatch, this causes the agent to emit a Hint End Batch.

Begin Batch

When a Begin Batch message is received, the agent calls the beginBatch function block, if present in the code.

End Batch

When an End Batch message is received, the agent calls the endBatch function blocks, if present in the code.

Prior to End Batch, possible timeouts are called. Thus, when a time limit is reached, the timeout function block will not be called until the next End Batch arrives. If the workflow is in the middle of a data batch or is not currently receiving any data at all, this could potentially be some time after the configured timeout.

Cancel Batch

When a Cancel Batch message is received, the agent calls the cancelBatch function block, if present in the code.
