Purpose of the page¶
This page allows you to define DTP activities.
Page structure
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| List of activities | Shows the list of activities that make up the DTP and which will be run in alphanumeric order. |
| Activity properties | Allows you to manage the properties of the selected activity. |
Activity properties
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Activities | Activity identifier Note: characters with ASCII codes from 33 to 126 are permitted, except for the following: 61, 124, 44, 39, 34, 47, 92, 58, 42, 63, 60 or 62. |
| Description | Description of the activity in the active languages of the application. |
| Target dataset | Allows you to select the dataset on which to run the activity. |
| Typology | Specifies the type of the target dataset. |
| Empty Dataset | If selected, the content of the dataset/type will be deleted before the activity is run. |
| Update Reporting Layer | If selected, it deletes the content of the Reporting Layer at the end of the activity, overwriting the previous content. |
| Reporting layer filter | Allows you to insert an SQL formula to filter the deletion of Reporting Layer data. |
| Run condition | Allows you to enter, as an SQL formula, the condition to be checked in order to run the activity. If not specified, the activity is always run. |
| Level | Specifies the order in which to run the activity in the DTP. When several activities have the same level, the data processing simultaneously runs the activities which do not use the same resources. |
| Loop | Specifies the loop of which the activity is part. See Definition of activity and operation loops. |
| Executed distribution | (Visible, in the cloud, only if the environment has a specific system property and was enabled in the workspace creation step). If enabled, the system uses the distributed architecture to execute the activity, i.e. it runs the data processing outside of the application. |
