Hi all,
I noticed that when I install my chart templates as a statistics collector the node for the chart template still exists in the tree with the attached ProcessFlow. Does this mean that everything is triggered twice and should this be the case?
Regards,
Abel
When you say there is a node for the chart template still in the tree, do you mean that there is still something inside the MODEL:/Tools/ChartTemplates node? That part should no longer exist if you install a template.
A Chart Template is just a wrapper around many objects, which possibly includes Groups, a Process Flow, a Statistics Collector, or a Calculated Table. When you install the template, the chart should continue to function, but all of those tools are now in the toolbox, where you can examine and/or edit them. So when you install a template, it may put a Process Flow in your toolbox. That flow was always there, but was hidden inside the template. Once you install, there is still only one flow working.
Thanks for the answer.
Yes, there was still something inside that node. I cloned a table based on that chart template node. Then I installed the chart template but forgot to change the path to the statistics collector node. After executing the code the cloned table still contained all the information.
I was trying to reproduce it in an example model, but in the example model there is indeed nothing inside the chart templates node anymore if I install the template.
When you say you cloned the table, do you mean that you created a copy? There is a bug with copying templates, so it doesn't work correctly. If you first copied a template and then installed the copy, that would probably cause the issue you are seeing.
I meant with cloning a table that I cloned the statistics collector table that was created by the install template to a global table. See code below:
Table dataganttchart = Table("DataGanttChart");
Model.find("Tools/StatisticsCollectors/Gantt Chart Collector>stats/data").as(Table).cloneTo(dataganttchart);
