This function is used to mount another Profile as a subnode in the target structure of this profile.
It is used in the calling profile on the node that uses a profile as a subnode. The function is automatically set when inserting the subnode, but parameters b and c must be adjusted.
For details see section Profile in target structure (sub profile).
NOTE: A Subprofile mounted in the target structure without a time-driven Input agent is cloned internally. The clone is discarded after the run. No separate backup file is created.
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|
a | Name of the mounted profile (will be set automatically). |
b | If true, the time-driven Input Agent of the mounted profile (if it has one) will be started. This option must be specified explicitly if the profile has a time-driven Input Agent, otherwise, the mounted profile will not get any data. Alternatively, see parameter c. |
c | If b was not set, the input data for the mounted profile must be specified here (as a string). |
A profile is the central configuration unit in the Lobster Data Platform. It receives data, processes it, and forwards it. Configuration is done graphically, with no programming required.
Profile that is embedded in another profile and called as a substep. Subprofiles allow processing logic to be reused. The parent profile passes data to the subprofile and optionally receives results back.
The input agent receives data in Phase 1 and starts a job for further processing. It works either as event based (passively waits for data) or scheduled (actively fetches data).
