Clarity

Is there such a document that describes the do and maybe don't do or maybe some FAQ that list the do / don'ts?

V/r,

Hello Gene,

I am not sure that there is a document with best practices as such, but the following are some I have come across:

1. Persist your Session ID

−It’s a waste of resources to login/execute/logout whenever you need XOG.

−Login at the beginning of your process (Start Step)

−Use <gel:persist> to hold on to your SessionID during the entire process

−Execute whatever you need in the intermediate steps

−Logout at the end (Finish Step)

2. Read from Properties.xml

- It’s not good practice to hardcode URLs, folder paths, usernames and passwords, etc

- Use the ConfigurationManager class to read from properties.xml (parameters such as the entryURL or the Clarity home folder)

- Use <gel:persist> to hold on to the variables you need during the entire process

3. Set and use Debugging

- Use <gel:log> to enter messages to the Process Manager Log Messages.

- Set up a “DebugLevel” variable and persist it for later use

DebugLevel 0 generates no message

DebugLevel 1 generates Simple messages

DebugLevel 2 generates Variable Content messages

DebugLevel 3 serializes XML Documents
