Unlock Accumulator

This Accumulator step unlocks an instance of an accumulator so that the value can be changed. This step reverses the effect of a Lock Accumulator step.

Inputs

Accumulator Name

The name of the accumulator to unlock. This name is defined in Interaction Administrator.

Instance Name

The specific instance of the accumulator you want to unlock.

Accumulator Key

Contains the value of the key. This key was created with a Lock Accumulator step.

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.
