Analysis Agent - Batch(3.3)
- Jenni Wallin
The configuration dialog consists of two tabs: Analysis and Thread Buffer.
Analysis Tab
The Analysis tab consists of the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Code Area | This is the text area where you enter the APL code, used for UDR processing. You can enter code manually, you can import it, or you can set an import command to access the generic code created in the APL Code Editor. For further information, see APL Code Editor(3.0). Below the text area there are line, column and position indicators to assist in finding syntax errors. |
Compilation Test... | Compiles the code that you enter, to evaluate the validity. 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. Note! The more complex code and formats that you enter, the more time it takes to compile. |
| Outline | 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 the section, APL Code Editor Outline, in APL Code Editor(3.0). |
UDR Types | Use the Add button to select UDR types. You can select one or more UDR types that the agent expects to receive. For further information, see 9.5.6 Analysis Agent Input and Output Types. |
Automatically selects the UDR type distributed by the previous agent. |
If the routing of the UDRs, namely the udrRoute command, is omitted, the outgoing connection point disappears from the dialog, so that you cannot connect to a subsequent agent in the workflow.
For further information about the APL Code Editor Assistance in place to help you create APL code, see APL Code Editor Assistance(3.0).
Thread Buffer Tab
You configure the use and settings of private threads for an agent, enabling multi-threading within a workflow, in the Thread Buffer tab. For further information, see the Thread Buffer Tab in Workflow Template (3.0).
Transaction Behavior
Emits
The agent emits commands that change the state of the file currently processed.
Command | Description |
End Batch | The agent does not emit End Batch, however it can trigger the collector to do so by calling the method |
Cancel Batch | If a Cancel Batch is emitted anywhere in the workflow, the workflow aborts depending on how the behavior has been set. See the section about cancelBatch in APL Reference Guide(3.0) for further information. |
Hint End Batch | If the code contains a call to the method Note! Not all collectors can act upon a call on a hintEndBatch request. Refer to the information for the relevant Collection agent. |
Receives
The agent retrieves commands from other agents and, based on them, generates a state change for the file currently being processed.
Command | Description |
Begin Batch | When a Begin Batch message is received, the agent calls the function block |
Cancel Batch | When a Cancel Batch message is received, the agent calls the function block |
End Batch | When an End Batch message is received, the agent calls the function blocks |
