Overview: ISV Action Object

This operation enables you to reuse the functionality of an existing data manipulation blueprint created within the Architect. Use this operation to write new data as the source for the Action Object blueprint, by mapping the new data fields to those required within the Action Object. The functionality of each block will then be applied to the new data. The blueprint outputs will no longer be sent to a sink block within the Architect, rather they will be saved as a new dataset within the Troubleshooterss.  This operation will either use the timestamp field of the dataset, or will create a timestamp field for the Action Object. Bad quality fields will be recorded in the Action Object with null values.

Note that in order for this operation to work, all the blocks used to create the Action Object blueprint within the Architect need to be licensed and registered to you. If they are not registered the operation will fail.

Properties

Category:

Transform

Performance risk:

High potential performance risk. The performance is influenced by the size of the text file being imported, which is determined by number of rows and/or the number of columns of the dataset.

Knowledge required:

Working knowledge of the software.

Effect on datasets

How many datasets are required to perform this operation?

One

Does it create a new dataset?

Yes

Can you reconfigure this operation?

Yes

Can you apply this operation to a locked dataset?

Yes

Does it modify the current dataset in any way?

No

Requirements

  • Understanding of Action Objects and the specific requirements of the blueprint configured for each Action Object.

  • A dataset with at least one field of any field type. The requirements for each specific Action Objects will be different, determined by the configuration of the Action Objects.

Results

  • An Action Object dataset with calculated values will be created.

  • No dataset will not be created if not all of the Action Object blueprint blocks used to build the object were not registered.
