The Aggregation agent configuration dialog - General tab

Setting

Description

Profile

Click  Browse... and select an Aggregation profile.

All the workflows in the same workflow configuration can use different Aggregation profiles. For this to work, the profile has to be set to Default in the Field settings tab in the Workflow Properties dialog. After this, each workflow in the Workflow Table can be assigned with the correct profile.

Force Read Only

Select this check box to only use the aggregation storage for reading aggregation session data.

If you enable the read only mode, timeout handling is also disabled.

When using file storage and sharing an Aggregation profile across several workflow configurations, the read and write lock mechanisms that are applied to the stored sessions must be considered:

  • There can only be one write lock at a time in a profile. This means that all but one Aggregation agent must have the  Force Read Only setting enabled.

  • If all of the Aggregation agents are configured with Force Read Only, any number of read locks can be granted in the profile.

  • If one write lock or more is set, a read lock cannot be granted.

If Timeout is Missing

Select the action to take if timeout for sessions is not set in the APL code using sessionTimeout. The setting is evaluated after each consume or timeout function block has been called (assuming the session has not been removed).

The available options are:

  • Ignore  - Do nothing. This may leave sessions forever in the system if the closing UDR does not arrive.

  • Abort  - Abort the agent execution. This option is used if timeout must be set at all times. Hence, a missing timeout is considered being a configuration error.

  • Use Default Timeout  - Allow the session timeout to be set here instead of within the code. If enabled, a field becomes available. In this field, enter the timeout, in seconds.

If No UDR Match is Found

Select the action that the agent should take when a UDR that arrives does not match any session, and Create Session on Failure is disabled:

  • Ignore  - Discard the UDR.

  • Log Event - Discard the UDR and generate a message in the System Log.

  • Route - Send the UDR on the route selected from the on list. This is a list of output routes through which the UDR can be sent. The list is only activated if Route is selected.

...

The Storage tab contains settings that are specific for the selected storage in the Aggregation profile. Different settings are available in batch and real-time workflows.  

File Storage

When using file storage for sessions in a batch workflow, the Storage tab contains a setting to control how often the timeout block should be executed. In this tab, it is also specified when the changes to the aggregation data is written to file.
