Actualize properties

Last modified by Erik Bakker on 2023/01/24 15:21

In this microlearning, we will focus on the situation where an existing property needs a change of its value and how to put this value into effect in your environment.

Should you have any questions, please contact academy@emagiz.com.

1. Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of the eMagiz platform
  • Understanding of property concept
  • At least one flow for which you can change the actual and where that flow is active

2. Key concepts

Changing the value of any property is rather easy, yet the value is not taken into account by the flow before that flow is restarted properly due to the nature in which eMagiz is using Java.

3. Actualize properties

Below are the steps to take to change the value of a property and putting that into effect.

  • Locate the property via the access points for properties (see this microlearning for more information)
  • Change the value of the property and press Save
  • Locate the Runtime dashboard and find the flow for which the property has changed
  • Ensure the properly stop and start the flow

Considerations

  • Starting and stopping flows can be done in direct sequence, unless you change the property of that particular flow multiple times within 2 minutes. eMagiz needs in that case 2 minutes to store the property value properly.

4. Key takeaways

  • Make a good plan before you change the property so that there are no unforeseen side effects
  • In case the value is changed several times, the flow will need 2 minutes of breathing time before the updated property value is taken into account.
