Configuring Processing Groups

A processing Group contains one or more steps in a ordered sequence. Processing groups are executed or scheduled for execution through the “Execute Process” application.

To define a new Processing Group follow these steps:

1. From the “Model Type Editor” click on Add

2. Enter the name in the Processing Group field and a suitable description of the processing group in the Description field. The name can be up to 30 characters in length.

   

3. Click on the created empty Sequence List and click the Add button once for each step index that should be added.

4. Go through the list one Step Index at a time and for each assign an already configured step.

5. Parameter values can be assigned directly to a step index as either local paameters (Local Params) or as global parameters (Global Param Ref).

• To assign a global parameter click Global Param Ref followed by Add. Then select the parameter group from the drop-down list in the Global Param Ref field and specify the ‘Remove mode’. A ‘Remove Mode’ of True indicates that parameter values passed from the user through the Execute Process application should be overwriten by the values in the parameter group.

  

• To assign a local parameter click Local Params followed by Add.

  

Note

Local and Global Parameters take priority over parameters entered by the user in the Execute Process application. Read about Model Type parameter value assignment priorities.

Note

Most parameters are used by external programs. To find the correct parameter name for the parameters associated with a particular external program see External Programs
