Inc. Acc. (Numeric)

This Accumulator step increments the value of an instance of an accumulator of type Numeric.

Caution: Numeric Accumulator values are limited to 1.7E +/- 308 (15 digits precision).

Inputs

Accumulator Name

The name of the accumulator to get the value from. This name is defined in Interaction Administrator.

Instance Name

The specific instance of the accumulator you want to increment. The Instance Name is defined in Interaction Administrator and created dynamically when a handler executes a Set Acc. step.

Value

The value by which to increment the instance of the accumulator. Entering a negative number decrements the value of the instance of the accumulator.

Accumulator Key

This is the variable that holds the value of the key returned by a previous Lock Accumulator step. The Accumulator Key is not a required input field, but should be supplied if the accumulator instance has been previously locked by the handler. Failure to use a key when the accumulator instance is locked can result in a tool step failure, and incorrect values being calculated in the accumulator.

Exit Paths

Success

This step takes the Success exit path if the operation is successful.

Failure

This step takes the Failure exit path if the Instance Name is invalid for the accumulator. This would never happen if the Instance type was Any, but it is possible for the other instance types. Failure can also occur if communication between the IP process and the Accumulator server timed out due to heavy machine load. Failure to use a Key when the accumulator instance is locked can result in a tool step failure, and incorrect values being calculated in the accumulator.
