Batch
Accumulates arriving QObject instances until batchSize have been collected, then forms a single batch QObject (carrying the members as its attached object) and sends it onward. A SeparateStation is the inverse, recovering the members.
The batch wrapper is a new instance and is not counted in the owning network's number-in-system; the original members carry that accounting, so batching then separating is population-neutral. Members left accumulating at the end of a replication are simply not batched.
Parameters
the model element serving as this station's parent
the number of instances per batch (>= 1)
where formed batches are sent
the name of the station
Constructors
Properties
True if this node has any onward routing configured (a static next receiver, a station-level sender, or a class route). A non-terminal node for which this is false — and which is not a non-terminal step of a registered route — is a dangling node and fails validation.
Time-weighted number of instances currently accumulating toward a batch.
The number of batches formed.
Functions
This method should be overridden by subclasses that need actions performed to initialize prior to a replication. It is called once before each replication occurs if the model element wants initialization. It is called after beforeReplication() is called
Sets the receiver of formed batches.
The statically known receivers this node may route to. Best-effort: empty when the node has no static link or when its routing is opaque (for example, a probabilistic sender whose destinations are not introspectable).
