SetLocal

Category

Flow Control

Function

Places an object in the cache.

Syntax

SetLocal(object, link);

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

Functional Details

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

Note: The corresponding GetLocal 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 GetLocal module that corresponds to the SetLocal module. In the VPE, this link would be created by dragging an arc from the link output of GetLocal to the link input of SetLocal.

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

Accumulate.net
Bounce.net
SimpleGetSetLoop.net
