SetGlobal

Category

Flow Control

Function

Places an object in the cache.

Syntax

SetGlobal(object, link);

Inputs
Name Type Default Description
object object no default object to be cached
link string no default link to corresponding GetGlobal module

Functional Details

This module works with GetGlobal to place and retrieve objects from the cache: SetGlobal places an object in the cache, where GetGlobal can retrieve it. SetGlobal should always be used with GetGlobal, not with GetLocal.

Note: The corresponding GetGlobal module must be executed on the same machine (i.e., it cannot be distributed to another machine). See GetGlobal and GetLocal for a discussion of the differences between the Global Get/Set pair and the Local Get/Set pair.

object

is the object to be placed in the cache.

link

specifies the GetGlobal module that corresponds to the SetGlobal module. In the VPE, this link would be created by dragging an arc from the link output of GetGlobal to the link input of SetGlobal.

A detailed description of the behavior and use of the GetLocal, GetGlobal, SetLocal, and SetGlobal modules can be found in 4.6 , "Preserving Explicit State" in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide.

Example Visual Programs
