Executing Connectors

A DIH Connector can be executed using the following method:

·        Process Modelling Framework

Executing Connector using Process Modelling Framework

Process Modelling Framework (PMF) is a design and execution framework that enables Process Pipeline Developers to implement various Pipelines modeled by Business Analysts. Process Pipeline Developers use the framework to orchestrate the Business Pipelines and Run Pipelines within AFCS, and also to design the artifacts that participate in the Pipelines, to complete their implementation.  For more details, see the Managing Process Section.

NOTE:   

Special characters are not allowed in the Search box of the Monitor screen or Modeler screen. If your search string contains a special character and perform search, an error is displayed. In such a scenario, you must log out of the application and log in again.

 

 To add a connector task in PMF Pipeline, perform the following steps:

1.     Open a process pipeline in which you want to add a connector task.

2.     Click to expand the left menu. You can see DIH Connector under Widget.

3.     Select DIHConnector and drag and drop it on the canvas.

4.     Double-click DIHConnector to select the connector to be executed.

5.     Specify the Activity Name and Activity Description.

6.      Under the Dynamic Parameters for DIHConnector:

a.     Select the required Connector.

b.     Enter the Runtime Variables.
If the connector contains any Runtime Parameter, see section Specifying Runtime Parameters for more details.

c.     Select the Agent.

7.      Enter all the details and click to Save the details. You can also click Save icon to save the details.
A confirmation message is displayed as Successfully Saved.

Specifying Runtime Parameters

The following are the Runtime Parameters:

·         If the connector contains any Runtime parameters, they can be set in the Variables input field of the Connector definition window.
Example: FILE_DATE=31-Jan-2022.

·         In this example, the date format appended to MISDATE has to conform to the Simple Date Format. If no date format is specified, the default date format used is yyyyMMdd.

·         If variables are used as part of connector mappings or filter expressions, they must be passed as follows:
Exampe: FILE_DATE=$MISDATE:dd-MMM-yyyy.
