In order for an item to be included in the count, the attribute value must be compared against a user-defined value. The comparison can use any of the following user-defined operators:
Operator |
Description |
== |
Equals |
!= |
Not Equals |
< |
Less Than |
<= |
Less Than Or Equal |
> |
Greater Than |
>= |
Greater Than Or Equal |
@ |
Between |
!@ |
Not Between |
% |
Exists |
$ |
Contains |
The comparison may be:
Numeric(N)
Alphanumeric(A)
Float(F)
Alphanumeric comparison values can specify the wildcard character ?.
Multiple region names can be specified by separating them with commas.
Example
Specify "Source Regions 1 and 2 and Distribution Regions 1 and 2":
SRC1, SRC2,DST1,DST2.
When using @ (Between) or !@ (Not Between), separate the high and low values with a comma.
Example
Specify "Between 2 and 3":
|@|2,3|
Counts are stored in CIMPLICITY analog non-array points. These points are initialized at startup and are updated as items enter and exit a region.
When the process first starts it:
Performs a count of all items in the configured regions
Initializes the points with the count values.
Utilizes a configured reset point; when the reset point updates, PRTCNT will automatically recount all regions. When an item is modified in a configured region, PRTCNT will recount all counters associated with that region.
