Real-Time Entity and Network Generation Action Set

Provides actions for generating entities and networks from transactional data

showEntities Action

Show the element, compound, and entity definitions.

CASL Syntax

rteng.showEntities <result=results> <status=rc> /
compoundStore={
caslib="string",
compoundTable="string",
copies=integer,
documentTable="string",
entityTable="string",
lockTable="string",
metadataTable="string"
},
includeDefaultValues=TRUE | FALSE,
outputLanguage="CASL" | "LUA" | "PYTHON" | "R" | "REST"
;

Parameter Descriptions

compoundStore={compoundStore}

specifies the table names and CAS library to use for the compound store across sessions.

Long form compoundStore={caslib="string"}
Shortcut form compoundStore="string"

The compoundStore value can be one or more of the following:

caslib="string"

specifies the CAS library in which to create or find the tables. This library must be a global library.

compoundTable="string"

specifies the name of the CAS table in which to store compounds.

Default "rtengCmpd"
copies=integer

specifies the number of redundant copies to keep. A value of 0 is fastest but disables failover when a worker fails.

Default 1
Minimum value 0
documentTable="string"

specifies the name of the CAS table in which to store documents.

Default "rtengDoc"
entityTable="string"

specifies the name of the CAS table in which to store entities.

Default "rtengEntity"
lockTable="string"

specifies the name of the CAS table to use for preventing access to the compound store by other sessions while an action is running. This table is used internally and should never be created by the user.

Default "rtengLock"
metadataTable="string"

specifies the name of the CAS table in which to store the metadata, including the element, compound, and entity definitions.

Default "rtengMeta"

includeDefaultValues=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, includes the default values in the element, compound, and entity definitions.

Default FALSE

outputLanguage="CASL" | "LUA" | "PYTHON" | "R" | "REST"

specifies the language used to display the definitions. The definitions will be displayed in a syntax that can be used directly in a client that uses the target language.

Default CASL

showEntities Action

Show the element, compound, and entity definitions.
