Designer Panel Overview | bridge_base | Multiexcerpt |
---|
MultiExcerptName | bridge_base |
---|
| The Bridge Base library is supplied as standard in the Designer and cannot be deleted from the library panel. The library contains the Bridge base types: - Any
- Blob
- Boolean
- DateTime
- Float
- Integer
- String
Most of these base types are only able to hold one single piece of information, like text in a string, true or false in a boolean, or binary data in a blob. If you wish to associate several bits of information, you have to define a complex type that combines a number of independent base types and possibly other complex types. Such complex types are modeled as classes in UML. To use your own classes, define them in a library and upload this customized library to the Designer. |

---|
Allow Parallel Executions | If checked, each time a scheduler pattern matches, the scheduler activity diagram is executed - even if another execution is already running. If not checked, the next execution cycle is suppressed if an execution diagram is already being run. | Checked | Year(s) | Insert a positive integer or a pattern. | * | Month(s) | Use numbers 1 to 12 or a pattern. | * | Weekdays(s) | Valid input: - Mon or Monday
- Tue or Tuesday

---|
Repeat Interval | Enter a valid time duration expression (see page Time Durations in the BRIDGE documentation for detailed information). This setting defines the time interval between two calls of the timer action. | - | Occurrences | Insert a positive integer to define the count of repetitions. If you want the timer to be endless, check Always (default). | Always | First Occurrence | Enter a valid time duration expression (see page Time Durations in the BRIDGE documentation for detailed information). This setting defines the wait interval after service start before the timer is executed for the first time. | 0 seconds | Parallel Events | Insert a positive integer. Defines the count of timer event handlers that are allowed to run in parallel. If an event cannot be processed within the repeat interval, a new thread will be started that processes the next event - as long as the number of parallel events is less than the value in this box. 1 = no parallel execution (default) | 1 | Queued Events | Insert a positive integer to define the number of events being queued if an event cannot be processed within the repeat interval. | 1 |

| Export | Use this icon to export your BPMN model in JSON format. | | Report | Click the Report icon to print your model. You have two options: You can send your model directly to a printer or save it as a Word document. See page Creating a Report for details. | | Share | If you click the Share icon, the URL of your BPMN model is copied to the clipboard and you can paste it elsewhere, for example in an email. | | Publish to cockpit | If you want direct access to your BPMN model in your Cockpit, click on the icon Publish to cockpit. If you open your cockpit the next time, an external link tile grants you direct access to the model. | | Hide execution pane | Use this icon to hide the execution pane. This allows to gain more space during modeling. | | Toggle grid | Use this icon to enable or disable the grid on the diagram pane. The grid supports you during modeling: If the grid is enabled, elements snap to the grid points. | | Show invalid | Activate the icon to highlight all invalid elements. | | Start service | Click on this icon to start your service. | | Stop service | Stop the service by clicking on this icon. | | Open Bridge | Open your Scheer PAS Bridge with a click on this icon. | | Deploy service
| Use this icon to deploy the service. | | Export repository | Create an export of the Designer service repository by clicking this icon. Use the export: a) If you want to deploy the repository to another Bridge. b) If you want to analyze the service with the Analyzer. | | Clear Compiler cache | Use this icon to clear your Compiler cache. You need to clear your Compiler cache, when you updated a library. Example: - In a BPMN model, a library lib is used in version 1.0.0 from January.
- In the library administration, lib 1.0.0 is replaced with 1.0.0 from February.
- The user has to clear the Compiler cache to get 1.0.0 from February.

MultiExcerptName | execution_preliminaries |

| Info |
---|
You need to perform two steps to implement executional parts to your model: - You need to import a library that provides all necessary data types and operations for the implementation of your process.
Variables always have a type. The types to be used can be basic types, or must be provided with a library. (see chapter Designer Administration > Libraries for further information) - In the second step you have to select data types and operations from the imported library and add them to your process at the right places.
