Ports

Argument input

The argument input port provides the input argument to the lookup query. The type and name of this port depends on the settings of the Argument and the Argument dimension properties in the General tab. The name of the port is always prefixed Argument, e.g. Argument TraMaID if the argument is TraMaID_._

Attribute Exposure ports

The attribute exposure ports makes material attributes of the materials from the query results accessible on ports. The set of visible attribute exposure ports are defined by the settings in the Attribute exposure.

  • Resulting TraMaID / Resulting TraMaIDs. This port exposes the TraMaIDs of the resulting materials when the TraMaID parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting Amount / Resulting Amounts. This port exposes the amounts of the resulting materials when the Amount parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting MaterialQualityID / Resulting MaterialQualityIDs. This port exposes the Material Quality IDs of the resulting materials when the MaterialQualityID parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting MaterialQualityName / Resulting MaterialQualityNames. This port exposes the Material Quality Names of the resulting materials when the MaterialQualityName parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting MaterialQualityLabel / Resulting MaterialQualityLabels. This port exposes the Material Quality Labels of the resulting materials when the MaterialQualityLabel parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting ArticleID / Resulting ArticleIDs. This port exposes the ArticleIDs of the resulting materials when the ArticleID parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting Article / Resulting Articles. This port exposes the Articles of the resulting materials when the Article parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.
  • Resulting ArticleName / Resulting ArticleNames. This port exposes the Article names of the resulting materials when the ArticleName parameter of the Attribute exposure tab is checked.

Ident exposure ports

The Ident exposure ports makes Identifiers of the materials from the query results accessible on ports. There will be one port for each selected ident definition in the Ident exposure tab. The name of the exposure ports will be Resulting Ident Value(s) for IdentDefinitionName, where IdentDefinitionName is the name of the actual Ident definitio

Triggering ports

The component has two triggering ports:

  • Trigger: This port is used to initiate a transaction. The function of the trigger port depends on the selected triggering option.
  • Hold: This is a digital port is used to freeze the inputs of the component. When the value of this port is true, the rest of the port values of the components are frozen, and the values of these ports will not be transferred into the component.

NoMaterialFound

This digital port signals a positive flank when a search which did not return any material is completed.

NotFoundCount

This analog port displays the number of searched materials that were not found in the previous lookup.

MaterialFound

This digital port signals a positive flank when a search which returns one or more materials is completed.

FoundCount

This analog port displays the number of materials found in the previous lookup.

SearchCompleted 

This digital port indicates that the search is completed. In may be used to trigger other components that use the output from this component.
