_action is available on any Expression within table actions and gives the name of the Action.

Within Expressions expressions evaluated for CalculateBySet stream and aggregate streamtable and Aggregate table, it is possible to set up Cached Attributes which can be used to store and retrieve cached data while processing a Candidate Set. To refer to a cached attribute value, e.g. the sum of invoice values so far while processing a Candidate Set, use an expression like _cache.invoiceTot + _current.invoiceValue.

See also Understanding Tables and Pipes and Table properties.

This variable is available when using an in-memory stream table and contains the record matching the key attributes.

When using the attribute function cache _cacheValue contains the value retrieved from the cache associated with the key value supplied. This variable is only available within the function evaluation; that is, the value retrieved is only available in the list of expressions used in the call to the function cache.

Used as a prefix to reference the context parameter values that have been configured within a Stream Action table-action using the notation _context.<ContextParameter Name>. Please ; see Stream Action Form for more details on how to use it Table-Action.

_count provides the number of Stream Items records in the current Candidate Setcandidate set.  _count is used on CalculateBySet  and Aggregate Tablesand Aggregate tables.

If you want to know how many items have been returned by a Lookup Pipe or the number of items returned by a specific Pipe for the current Candidate Set then use the countElements() function.

Used as a prefix to reference the values that are being dragged within a Stream Action table-action using the notation _dragSource.<AttributeName>.

See Also Drag Types and Drop Targets and Stream Table-Action Form.

A record on a stream view that is configured with a Drag Type can be dragged onto a component that is:

• backed by a streamtable
• configured with a Drop Target action.

For more information, see Drag Types and Drop Targets.

Use this variable for the drop target action to provide co-ordinate values:

• _dropPosition.left - the number of pixels from the left hand edge of the dropTarget
• _dropPosition.top - gives the number of pixels from the top of the drop target. 

When  _dropPosition is used for a:

• card container: the _dropPosition is relative to the top-left of the area within which cards are displayed, excluding the header for the card container.
• area component: the _dropPosition is relative to the  the top-left co-ordinates of the component on which it was dropped. Position is given as the top-left co-ordinates. 

Used as a prefix to reference the values that are having data dropped onto them within a Stream Action table-action using the notation _dropTarget.<AttributeName>. 

See Also also Drag Types and Drop Targets and Stream  and Table-Action Form.

_errors contains the number of error messages generated during the running of a Task Plan.

This variable can be used in the Task Plan user notification rules to specify for example that an email should only be sent if there are more than a certain number of error messages.

This variable can also be used in the subject line and email body expressions.

Use _field to access the name and value of an input field for components that are:

• either input fields
• or field containers that have an input field. 

Values are:

This variable can be used in the Stream Action table-action result message.

_fileName can be used within stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions in cases where the Table has data coming from a File Collector. It contains the name of the file that provided the current input stream item ( record).

_fileName must be prefixed with the name of the pipe linking the file collector to the stream table e.g. in._fileName.

_fromDate is most often used in the SQL field of Database Collectors to restrict the query to return data based on the dates being processed. It is also used in the Name field of File Collectors, File Exporters etcExporters etc. to generate date specific names.

_importedDate is set to the date and time that the file was received by or uploaded to PhixFlow

It is only populated when reading from a File Collector with the Source Type set to Managed File

An Input Multiplier Array can be generated by entering an Expression expression into the Input Multiplier field for a Streama tables Input Multiplier option. This causes the Stream table to repeat its entire processing cycle for each entry in the Input Multiplier Array to create a single Stream Setrecordset. During  During this processing, _inputMultiplier refers to the element in the Input Multiplier Array that has initiated the current processing cycle.

_inputMultiplier is most often used in Stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions but is also used in objects connected to Streams tables especially the SQL field on a Database Collector.

This provides the position of the current Stream Item recird within the Candidate Set being candidate set being processed.

_itemNumber is used within Expressions on Calculate by Set Streams and CalculateBySet tables and is especially useful for de-duplicating data.

When dragging a card on a kanban card container, _kanban contains information about the target card.

• value: The value of the kanban attribute in the target kanban column.
• attribute: The kanban attribute name of the card container.
• heading Value: The value of the kanban heading attribute in the kanban column.

_key is made available on Mergemerge, Calculate calulate-by Set and Aggregating Streams-set and aggregating tables. _key is an Array of the values of the current Group By Attributes which were used to construct the Candidate Set. E.g if the Group By Attributes were AccountNum and InvoiceNum then _key[1] would refer to the AccountNum and _key[2] to the InvoiceNum for the current Candidate Set.

_key is most often used in Stream Attribute Expressionsattribute expressions.

_keyList is made available in Collector collector statements when a Collector collector is connected using a Directed Pipe directed pipe as an input into a Merge merge or Aggregating Streamaggretating table. _keyList is an Array array of the first elements of many Group-By Attribute values which are being used to construct the Candidate Set.

E.g if the Group By Attribute was AccountNum, then _keyList would be set to an array of account numbers: ['ac1','ac2','ac3'] - the number of elements in the array is variable, up to the workerSize specified on the pipe from the collector to the Merge/Aggregating Streammerge or aggregating table .

The _keyList would then be used in the Collector collector statement, e.g.

	select * from a_table
	where a_field in ({_keyList})
	order by a_field

_lineNumber can be used within Stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions in cases where the Stream table has data coming from a File Collector.

_lineNumber contains the position of the current input Stream Item within record within the file.

This variable can be used in the Task Plan user notification rules.

This variable can also be used in the subject line and email body expressions.

_modifiedDate can be used within Stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions in cases where the Stream table has data coming from a File Collector.

_modifiedDate contains the datetime of when the file that provided the current input Stream Item record was last modified.

The last modified time of a single file residing within a .gz or a .tgz container can not be determined by phixflow, instead the datetime of when the corresponding gz/tgz container was created will be returned.

_modifiedDate must be prefixed with the name of the Pipe linking the File Collector to the Stream table e.g. in._modifiedDate.

Refers to the Stream Item record currently being created. E.g. to use the value of a Stream Attribute attribute "account" that has already been calculated, use _out.account.

Note that you should ensure that the Stream Attribute attribute will have been evaluated before it is referred to.

_out is most often used in Stream Attribute attribute Expressions but is also used in objects connected to Streams tables e.g. Pipes, Database Collectors and File Collectorspipes or collectors.

An Output Multiplier Array  array can be generated by entering an Expression into the Output Multiplier field for a Stream table. The Output Multiplier is calculated at the start of each Candidate Set candidate set and causes the Stream table to repeat its output Stream Item record generation processing step for each entry in the Output Multiplier Array.

Note that unlike the 97734387 the _inputMultiplier which repeats the entire Stream table processing for each Array array entry (e.g. refetching data from Input Pipes) the Output Multiplier just repeats the final output Stream Item record calculation. During this processing, _outputMultiplier refers to the element in the Output Multiplier Array that is being used for the current output Stream Itemrecord.

Currently this internal variable can only be used in Stream Action Validation table-action Validation Expressions. It refers to the prompted action attribute values that are manually entered by the user when an action is executed.

%PASSWORD% is an internal variable designed to enable a collector (or exporter) to pass a stored value to an external location - in this instance the Password which is stored with the httpDatasourceInstance.

_path contains the full path of the file that provided the current input Stream Itemrecord.

_path must be prefixed with the name of the Pipe linking the File Collector to the Stream table e.g. in._path.

_pipeItemNumber is available on Calculate by Set Streamstables and is useful when the Stream Table has two or more Input Pipes.

_pipeItemNumber is similar to 97734387 to _itemNumber but returns the position of the current input Stream Item record within the Pipe being processed.

_pipeName contains the name of the current pipe when processing Input Stream Items input records for Calculate by Set and Calculate Streamstables. Note that this is useful since these Stream table functions process their Input Pipes sequentially and it may be necessary to know which Pipe is being processed (e.g. because their Stream Attributes attributes have different names).

Note: if using this in a merge stream table with multiple pull pipes coming in, _pipeName value will be null if the record exists on more than one pipe.

_response contains the response (success or failure) returned from an HTTP Export.

It is only populated in this context.

_rootDirectory can be used within Stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions in cases where the Stream has tablehas data coming from a File Collector.

_rootDirectory contains the root base directory (if specified) of the file that provided the current input Stream Item record concatenated with the value evaluated in the Collector's 'Input Directory Expr' field.

_rootDirectory must be prefixed with the name of the Pipe linking the File Collector to the Stream table, e.g. in._rootDirectory.

It is only populated when reading from a File Collector with the Source Type set to Managed File

_size can be used within Stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions in cases where the Stream table has data coming from a File Collectorfile collector.

_size contains the size of the file that provided the current input Stream Item records in bytes.

The size of a single file residing within a .gz or a .tgz container can not be determined by PhixFlow, instead a size of -1 will be returned.

_size must be prefixed with the name of the Pipe linking the File Collector to the Stream table e.g. in._size.

_source contains the source of the set of files being collected. Possible values are:

• email: The files were received as attachments to an inbound email.

_subDirectory can  can be used within Stream Attribute Expressions attribute expressions in cases where the Stream table has data coming from a File Collectorfile collector.

_subDirectory contains the sub directory relative to the 97734387 _rootDirectory in which the corresponding file that provided the current input Stream Item record resides.

_subDirectory must be prefixed with the name of the Pipe linking the File Collector to the Stream table e.g. in._subDirectory.

_subject is set to the subject of the email when a File Collector is processing a file received as an attachment to an email.

This variable is only populated when reading from a File Collector with the Source Type set to Managed File

_success contains a true or false value depending on the outcome of an HTTP Export.

It is only populated in this context.

_suspended contains the suspended status of a Task Plan when it has finished running.

This variable can be used in the Task Plan user notification rules to specify for example that an email be sent to a user to tell them that a problem needs to be investigated and the Task Plan must be un-suspended before it can run again.

This variable can also be used in the subject line and email body expressions.

_system.instance returns the name of the current instance. See System Configuration for details about setting the instance name.

_taskPlan contains the name of a Task Plan and can be used to include the name of the task plan in the user notification rules, subject line or body of emails generated by the task plan.

This variable refers to the entire Candidate Set. Within a Merge the expression '_this.name' would retrieve the name field from all records from all pull pipes. For a Merge this is equivalent to referring to the 'name' attribute without specifying a pipe.

For a Calculate with multiple Input Pipes the expression '_this.name' would retrieve the name field from all records on the pull pipe currently being processed (since each pipe on a calculate is processed separately).

_toAddress is set to a list of the email addresses to which this email was sent. The addresses are separated by semi-colons (;).

This variable is only populated when reading from a File Collector with the Source Type set to Managed File

Refers to the end date and time of the Stream Set currently recordset currently being referenced / calculated and is used in a similar way to 97734387 _fromDate.

This has been renamed to 97734387_outputMultiplier
