Process Nodes Overview

Process nodes perform actions, from running an Integrator script, to copying files, or building a cBase or model. Each type of process node performs a specific function.

Each type of process node has a concept of success or failure, depending on what the node does. Based on that success or failure, the process node controls which node is next in the task flow.

Process Node Description
Build cBase Runs the Spectre Build application to build a cBase. See Build cBase Process Node.
Build Model Runs the Builder application to build one or more models. See Build Model Process Node.
CacheDT Computes and caches data to improve sync time for DiveTab applications. See CacheDT Process Node (DiveTab).
Copy Copies or moves files from one location to another location. See Copy Process Node.
Delete Deletes files and directories from the specified location. See Delete Process Node.
DIAL Runs one or more DIAL scripts. See DIAL Process Node.
Dive Runs a Dive script that queries a cBase. See Dive Process Node.
Execute Runs one or more command line commands. See Execute Process Node.
FTP Pulls data from or pushes data to a server by using the File Transfer Protocol. See FTP Process Node.
Integ Runs one or more Integrator scripts. See Integ Process Node.
Measures Creates cPlans or cBases per data set as described in a measures script. See Measures Process Node.
Mkdir Creates one or more directories. See Mkdir Process Node.
Parameter Defines and sets parameters. See Parameter Process Node.
PrintDP Generates DivePort pages in pdf or png formats, with the option to save locally or email the file. See PrintDP Process Node.
Production Runs a Production script. See Production Process Node.
Spectre Cache Refresh Refreshes cached dives on the server. See Spectre Cache Refresh Process Node.
SSH Pulls data from or pushes data to a server by using Secure Shell protocol (SSH). See SSH Process Node.
Trigger Creates a trigger file that can be picked up or interpreted by other scripts or production processes. See Trigger Process Node.
Unzip Decompresses files from various compressed formats. See Unzip Process Node.
