Measures Process Node

A Measures node is a Production process node that runs a measures script, which creates cPlans and cBases per data set, as described in the Measures script.

NOTE: The Measures process node can also run factory configuration scripts, which automates the application of domain-specific rules to input data sets and generates compiled output data sets. Factory configuration scripts require the Measure Factory license.

The Measures node has four panes where you set attributes.

Production Measures Node All Panes

Node Attributes

You set attributes for the Measures node in the node attributes pane.

Production Measures Node Attributes

Attribute	Description
Name	Specify a descriptive name for the node. Lower case names maximize usage of the available space.
Failure type	Specify how to handle a Measures node failure: If set to Any, which is the default and is recommended, the node fails if any of the listed scripts fail. One or more scripts can be defined in the Measures Scripts pane. If set to Any and a Failure node is set, the task flow goes to the Failure node if any of the Measures scripts fail. If set to All, the task flow stops only if all of the Measures scripts fail; otherwise, the task flow continues to the next node.
File with list of Measures scripts (Required if no Measures Scripts attribute is set)	Specify a text file that contains the names of each Measures script. List the name of each Measures script on a separate line. To select the file, use the browse button (...) that appears when you click in the empty File with list of Measures scripts box. This attribute and the Measures Scripts attribute are mutually exclusive. This attribute is not applicable to the factory configuration file because you specify only one script.
Simultaneous	Define the maximum number of Measures scripts to process at the same time. The default is 1. When set to zero or blank, the number of simultaneously run scripts depends on the number of available processors. If more scripts than processors are specified, the scripts run in the order that they are listed. This attribute is not applicable to the factory configuration file because you specify only one script.
Custom Success State Rules	Opens the Edit Custom Output Filters dialog box where you can define a custom warning state (Failed, Succeeded, or Warning) based on text found in the node's output. See Custom Output Filters
Email Object for failure	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node fails. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Email Object for success	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node succeeds. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Email Object for warning	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node generates a warning. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Failure node	Select the next node upon failure. The pull-down list contains all nodes that are on the Task Flow.
Success node	Select the next node upon successful completion. The next node automatically populates if a connecting line is set on the Task Flow. The pull-down list contains all nodes that are on the Task Flow.
Working Directory	Specifies the directory in which this node runs. If left blank, the Default Working Directory attribute that is set in the Start Control Node is used. When running a script, Production sets the working directory for the child process to the directory that contains the script, unless the node specifies a different directory. See Start Control Node.
Default Working Directory	Displays the Default Working Directory that is set the the Start Control Node. If a Default Working Directory is not specified, this attribute is blank. Applies to all nodes. See Start Control Node.
External File Encoding	Select the format for the node input files. If this attribute is blank, Workbench attempts to detect the type of encoding. This attribute is also used when saving log files. The encoding might need to be adjusted when using data with high bit Latin-1 characters or Unicode characters.
