Generate Data-Log
Description
In LogicNets, context is session memory that contains all data objects that can be managed by the logicnet in an application. The data log is the meta-data structure inside the session that contains meta data about the data-objects in the context. This part allows you to retrieve data log items and place them in the context. The system removes all items that are already in the context but not in the data log. Since the data log stores more information than the value, you can use this part to generate data structures to export data objects.
Note: in the LogicNets Designer this process step will be displayed with the label convert_ctx_to_data_log.
Data Log Example
log = {
['mypath'] = {
path = 'mypath'
value = 1,
data_type = 'number'
},
['mypath2'] = {
path = 'mypath2'
value = { “a”, “b” },
data_type = 'number'
}
}Node Type: This part is located in the Misc dropdown menu in the Process node.
Used With: You can use this part with all framework and non-framework projects.
