How to use Plugin’s efficiently to derive your calculations

Hello ,

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate and explain how Query functions for String, Value, Date and Boolean works.

This will help Comp Admins to achieve when there is a complex requirement, by trying to construct the Formula and assign in a rule for Pipeline calculation to generate results;

Comp Admin will create a custom SQL SELECT Statements in a efficient way that results to return within 5 seconds incase it will be session run time out  and results won’t be appearing.

Admins to ensure that the uptime, performance are taken care.

SQL Statement will have parameter condition to set and to be inserted in Plug-in table (TCMP).
By running the pipeline job, rule gets processed and calls the custom SQL query during the stages so that you can get derived results out of it.

Let’s go overview to understand more details about it.

Assign the Formula to a Rule based on Rule usage

Insert the SQL Select Statement to CS_Pluginquery Table

Query for Boolean

Insert the SQL Select Statement to CS_Pluginquery Table

Query for Date

Insert the SQL Select Statement to CS_Pluginquery Table

Query for Value 

Using above use-cases, Pipeline results are generated for the functions ;
