|
) |
| |
Add a field to the update packet.
- Parameters
-
| packet | - Packet to add field to |
| fieldkey | - Secondary key of the field to add |
| value | - Field value to add |
| pipeline_id | - Pipeline name to get configuration from, defaults to the current pipeline (optional) |
- Returns
- Nothing

packet, |
|
|
var |
fieldkey, |
|
|
var |
fmtname, |
|
|
var |
value |
|
) |
| |
Add a formatted field to the update packet.
- Parameters
-
| packet | - Packet to add field to |
| fieldkey | - Secondary key of the field to add |
| fmtname | - Name of the format |
| value | - Field value to add |
- Returns
- Nothing

( |
var |
incoming, |
|
|
var |
normal, |
|
|
var |
source, |
|
|
var |
dest |
|
) |
| |
Copy the contents of one field to another.
- Parameters
-
| incoming | - Update packet that we have received |
| normal | - Normalised packet the we can add updates to |
| source | - Source fieldname/fieldnumber |
| dest | - Destination fieldname/fieldnumber |
- Returns
- The field we have just copied
- Return values
-
| nil | - Field wasn't available in incoming |
| getconfigitem |
( |
var |
symbolname, |
|
|
var |
requireditem |
|
) |
| |
Get the value of a config item.
- Parameters
-
| symbolname | - Incoming symbol name |
| requireditem | - Item that we require |
- Returns
- Item name that we required
- Return values
-
We initially look under the symbolname in case any items have been overridden, if that fails, we look under the pipeline this symbol is associated with.
| getfield |
( |
var |
update, |
|
|
var |
fieldkey, |
|
|
var |
formatkey, |
|
|
var |
pipeline_id |
|
) |
| |
Get the value of a field and apply a format.
- Parameters
-
| update | - Incoming update |
| fieldkey | - Fieldkey to obtain |
| formatkey | - Format key to apply to the field data (optional) |
| pipeline_id | - Pipeline name to get configuration from, defaults to the current pipeline (optional) |
- Returns
- Field value
- Return values
-
| nil | - No field present in update |
This function should be used on the incoming data packet from feed - it references the individual pipeline configuration to determine what field a fieldkey maps to
| getoutputfield |
( |
var |
packet, |
|
|
var |
fieldkey |
|
) |
| |
Get an output field from a normalised packet.
- Parameters
-
| packet | - Packet to add field to |
| fieldkey | - Secondary key of the field to get |
- Returns
- Field value
- Return values
-
| nil | - No field present in update |
This function should be used on the outgoing data packet - it references the datadictionary to determine what field a fieldkey maps to
