Process editor improvements

The Script tab on the process editor in Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.92 introduces several performance and usability improvements that make it easier to create and manage your process scripts.

Improved scrolling

Scrolling is now more responsive for scripts that exceed a single page view, resulting in a performance improvement over previous versions.

Error and warning reporting

The toolbar on the process editor includes a new Errors and warnings icon.

Click Errors and warnings to reveal an error and warning panel at the bottom of the process editor. Click any warning or error in the panel to go directly to the line in your process script where the error or warning occurs.

Select all lines within a script section

A process script contains four distinct sections: Prolog, Metadata, Data, and Epilog.

When you press CTRL+A (select all), all lines within the section where the cursor is positioned are selected.

This is a change of behavior from previous versions of the process editor, where CTRL+A selected all lines across all sections of the process script.

Filter variables during debugging

You can now use a filter to examine only selected variables while debugging a process.

The Variables section of the Debugger includes a Filter variables option. Click Filter variables and select a variable that you want to include in the debugging process. You can specify multiple variables for inclusion in debugging, but you must click Filter variables for each variable that you want to include.

If you do not set a filter to include at least one variable for inclusion during debugging, all variables are examined during debugging.

By default, only local process variables are shown when you click Filter variables. To include system variables for selection, toggle System variables to the On position.

This example shows the Debugger configured to include three variables in debugging.
