Archiving Agents MultiForwardingUDR Examples(4.1)

Example - Archiving

This example shows the APL code used in an Analysis agent connected to a forwarding agent expecting input of type MultiForwardingUDRs. In this example, the data is being buffered in the consume block. This makes it possible to route a complete batch to multiple files from the drain block. Note that the execution context needs available memory to buffer the whole file.

import ultra.FNT;

bytearray data;

MultiForwardingUDR createMultiForwardingUDR
        (string dir, string file, bytearray fileContent) {
 
    //Create the FNTUDR
    FNTUDR fntudr = udrCreate(FNTUDR);
    fntAddString(fntudr, dir);
    fntAddDirDelimiter(fntudr);//Add a directory
    fntAddString(fntudr, file);//Add a file

    MultiForwardingUDR multiForwardingUDR =
    udrCreate(MultiForwardingUDR);
    multiForwardingUDR.fntSpecification = fntudr;
    multiForwardingUDR.content = fileContent;

    return multiForwardingUDR;
}

beginBatch {
    data = baCreate(0);
}

consume {
    data = baAppend(data, input);
}

drain {
    //Send MultiForwardingUDRs to the forwarding agent
    udrRoute(createMultiForwardingUDR("dir1", "file1", data));
    udrRoute(createMultiForwardingUDR("dir2", "file2", data));
}

Example - Local Archiving

This example shows the APL code used in an Analysis agent connected to a forwarding agent expecting input of type MultiForwardingUDRs.

import ultra.FNT;

MultiForwardingUDR createMultiForwardingUDR
(string dir, string file, bytearray fileContent){

    //Create the FNTUDR
    FNTUDR fntudr = udrCreate(FNTUDR);
    fntAddString(fntudr, dir);
    fntAddDirDelimiter(fntudr);//Add a directory
    fntAddString(fntudr, file);//Add a file

    MultiForwardingUDR multiForwardingUDR =
    udrCreate(MultiForwardingUDR);
    multiForwardingUDR.fntSpecification = fntudr;
    multiForwardingUDR.content = fileContent;

    return multiForwardingUDR;
}

consume {

    bytearray file1Content;
    strToBA (file1Content, "file nr 1 content");

    bytearray file2Content;
    strToBA (file2Content, "file nr 2 content");

    //Send MultiForwardingUDRs to the forwarding agent
    udrRoute(createMultiForwardingUDR
    ("dir1", "file1", file1Content));
    udrRoute(createMultiForwardingUDR
    ("dir2", "file2", file2Content));
}

The Analysis agent mentioned previous in the example will send two MultiForwardingUDRs to the forwarding agent. Two files with different contents will be placed in two separate sub folders in the root directory.
