MIM Functions(4.3)
- Jenni Wallin
The MIM functions allows the agent to publish its own MIM values or to read MIM values from other agents.
Note!
The MIM functions cannot be used within global APL scripts, that is in code saved in the APL Code Editor.
mimGet
Returns the value of a MIM resource available in the workflow.
any mimGet ( string category , string mimResourceName );
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name of the agent or workflow owning the MIM resource |
| Name of the MIM resource whose value is to be returned |
Returns | MIM value as any type. The result always needs to be type casted or else compilation fails |
Example - Using mimGet
mimGet("Workflow", "Batch Count"); // Retrieving a MIM resource owned by the workflow.
mimGet("Disk_1", "Source File Count"); // Retrieving a MIM resource owned by the agent "Disk_1".
mimIsNull
Evaluates if a MIM resource is defined. Available to evaluate MIMs of non-object types, such as int.
boolean mimIsNull ( string category , string mimResourceName );
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name of the agent or workflow owning the MIM resource. |
| Name of the MIM resource to look for. |
Returns |
|
mimPublish
Publishes a MIM resource. The method call can only be used outside a function block.
void mimPublish ( assigned , string name , mimType );
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Keyword that identifies when the MIM resource is assigned a value. Can be one of:
|
| MIM resource name. Must be a string constant. |
| Data type of MIM resource |
Returns | Nothing |
Note!
Real-time workflows can only publish MIMs of type global.
mimSet
Assigns a value to a user defined MIM resource. The function may be called at any time. Note that it is the responsibility of the user to make sure the MIM value is available in accordance with the specified assigned type (refer to the section above, mimPublish).
void mimSet ( string name , any value );
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name of the MIM resource to assign a value |
| Value to assign - must match the published MIM type |
Returns | Nothing |
MIM Example
Example - MIM
Note that mimSet is made from a drain block. This to make sure the MIM exists when called from any other agent. The calls will be made at endBatch (for trailer MIMs), which always occurs after drain.
mimPublish(trailer, "Total duration", int);
int duration;
beginBatch {
duration = 0;
}
consume {
duration = duration + input.CallDuration;
}
drain {
mimSet( "Total duration", duration );
}
