1. Define a program FMCINTERNALNOOP this object should be set to Handle any data structures and Run unattended. Assign FMCNSHOW.exe as the executable (Optional).
2. Define a UPES called EMPTY. Queue and QM do not matter since they will not be used.
3. For the NOOP activity define a Program activity, set the Data Structures, set START and EXIT automatic (Defaults), Set Execution to be via UPES and Select your EMPTY upes, and set Mode to Asychronous. Set staff appropriately
You should end up with FDL like this:
| Code: |
PROGRAM_ACTIVITY 'Program' ( 'Default Data Structure', 'Default Data Structure' )
START AUTOMATIC WHEN AT_LEAST_ONE CONNECTOR TRUE
EXIT AUTOMATIC
LAYOUT XPOS -300 YPOS 400
NAME_POSITION XPOS -300 YPOS 325
PRIORITY DEFINED_IN INPUT_CONTAINER
PROGRAM 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'
SYNCHRONIZATION CHAINED
END 'Program' |

this feature is more prevalent from version 3.4 .. but i understand this was intruduced in sp3 of version 3.3.2.. noop or no operation activity is an additional activity called FMCINTERNALNOOP after the source box in a process:
| Quote: |
It uses a default application named 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'
It uses the input data structure of the process as its input and output data structure.
It is connected to all starting tasks in the process and any other objects in the process.
It replaces the Process SOURCE in all data mappings between activities except in the Process SOURCE to Process SINK mapping.
It has a default (Not loop) data mapping from '_STRUCT' to '_STRUCT'
It uses the same initial values of the process and the Process SOURCE.
It establishes a data mapping with the Process SOURCE from '_STRUCT' to '_STRUCT'
|
sample fdl containing noop:
| Code: |
PROGRAM_ACTIVITY 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'('PersonInfo','PersonInfo')
START AUTOMATIC WHEN ALL CONNECTORS TRUE
EXIT AUTOMATIC
PRIORITY DEFINED_IN INPUT_CONTAINER
DONE_BY LEVEL 0 .. 0
PROGRAM 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'
SYNCHRONIZATION CHAINED
END 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'
DATA DEFAULT 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'
MAP '_STRUCT' TO '_STRUCT'
DATA FROM SOURCE TO 'FMCINTERNALNOOP'
MAP '_STRUCT' TO '_STRUCT'
CONTROL FROM 'FMCINTERNALNOOP' TO 'CollectCreditInformation'
DATA FROM 'FMCINTERNALNOOP' TO 'CollectCreditInformation'
MAP 'FirstName' TO 'FirstName'
MAP 'LastName' TO 'LastName' |
in the buildtime.. the noop is added just after the source ...

where did this quote come from... I am not certain that it is 100% correct.

A personal opinion, but I would not trust the doc from WBI Modeler on the NO Op activity. The Modeler implementation is totally bogus as far as I can see.

I nearly wasted an hour by not knowing I should define the program as
only "FMCINTERNALNOOP".
The post helped me. thanks
Can anyone explain why it should be named only "FMCINTERNALNOOP"
