Example

In a weather app a user can search for the weather data for any location using a form field and actionflow. Image Removed

The actionflow is set up as below:

Image Removed

Each time the action is run a ForecastID is generated using a sequence in the calculate node. This is saved in the tables that are being run in the subsequent analysis node and is referenced using '_context.ForecastID'. The location that is provided by the user is also used in the tables in the analysis node using '_context.Location'. This value is sent in an API call using http collectors connected to a http datasource. The below analysis model is run as a result.

Context Parameters

Tables that are being run may rely on context parameters in their attribute expressions. Adding attributes with the same name as the context parameters to the analysis node will work in the same way. For example, if a table relies on the expression '_context.Name', an attribute called 'Name' can be added to the analysis node. The value for this can then be mapped to this attribute from any preceding connection.

.

Note
Care should be taken when running analysis on tables with a non-transactional Period set. The non-transactional table periods are Daily, Monthly and Variable. See Table.

Using Non-Transactional (Periodic) Tables

These are the important considerations that must be made when using non-transactional (periodic) tables in Analysis actions.

  a run in a variable table, it rolls back all the runs after to maintain contiguous recordsets, whereas rolling back on a transactional table only rolls back the specified run
Two recordsets will not be generated at the same time
- If a recordset is already being created, any requests run while it is completing will get the same results, e.g. if the 11am data is generating, then in 30 minutes a users starts the 12pm data generation, they will get the 11am data
When an Actionflow runs an analysis model it uses the toDate from the Actionflow, i.e. now(), therefore, it only runs once if non transactional
