Generic Functions in QPR ProcessAnalyzer

Generic Properties and Functions are available for all objects.

Generic Properties

Property	Description
_	Refers to the current context.
_empty	Returns an object which represent a non-existent value. Textual representation of this value is "EMPTY".
_remove	Returns an object which represent a value that should automatically be recursively pruned out of the resulting hierarchy object when processing chained expressions. If all the child values of one context object used in chaining expressions return this object, the root object itself will also be pruned out of the resulting hierarchy object. Examples: Both: [1,2]._remove [1,2].Where(_==3, _remove) Return EMPTY whereas [1,2].Where(_==3, _empty) [1,2].Where(_==3) [1,2]._empty Returns an empty collection (collection of length 0). For("i", 0, i < 10, i + 1, i).Where(_ % 2 == 0) For("i", 0, i < 10, i + 1, i).If(_ % 2 == 0, _, _remove) Both return: [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
CalcId (string)	Returns an id that is unique between all QPR ProcessAnalyzer objects. CalcId is remains the same at least for the duration of the expression calculation. It is possible that CalcId for an object is different in the next calculation. CalcId is EMPTY for other than QPR ProcessAnalyzer objects.
ComparisonEventLog (EventLog)	Returns the current comparison EventLog in whose context the expression is being evaluated. Comparison EventLog is available only when the KPI analysis request has been initialized with RuntimeComparison parameter set to true.
CurrentUser (User)	Returns the current user as User object.
Models (Model*)	All Model objects in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server (that the user have rights).
Now (DateTime)	DateTime object representing the current date and time.
Null	Returns a special null value. Null value is similar to EMPTY value, except null values can also be recursed.
Projects (Project*)	All Projects in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server (that the user have rights).
UserGroups (User*)	Returns an array of user groups visible for the current user as Users.

Aggregation Functions

Aggregation functions are performed by default to the leaf level (the deepest level). Aggregation means that leaf level arrays are replaced by the aggregated values, and thus the depth of the hierarchy decreases by one. There are following aggregation functions available: Average, Count, Min, Max and Sum.

Examples:

Count([[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]])
Returns: [2, 3]

Sum([[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]])
Returns: [3, 12]

In addition to the aggregation functions, functions that modify the contents of leaf arrays (OrderBy, Distinct, ...), the operation will be performed separately for every leaf array.

OrderByValue([[4, 3], [2, 1]])
Returns: [[3, 4], [1, 2]]

Function	Parameters	Description
Ceiling (Integer)	Number (Float)	Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to the specified number. Examples: Ceiling(1.5) Returns: 2 Ceiling(1) Returns: 1 Ceiling(-1.5) Returns: -1
Floor (Integer)	Number (Float)	Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified number. Examples: Floor(1.5) Returns: 1 Floor(1) Returns: 1 Floor(-1.5) Returns: -2
Round (Float)	Number to be rounded (Float) Number of decimals (Integer)	For numbers, rounds a value to the nearest integer or to the specified number of fractional digits. For DateTimes, rounds given date time by given time span or given number of seconds, Rounds a value to the nearest integer or to the specified number of fractional digits. Examples: (1.254).Round(1) Returns: 1.3 DateTime(2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).Round(10) Returns: DateTime(2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10) DateTime(2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).Round(TimeSpan(1)) Returns: DateTime(2017, 1, 2)

There can be any number of variable name and variable value pairs as long as the number of parameters is even number. If the number of parameters was two, the result is just the value that was set for that single value. If the number of parameters is more than two, the result is an array of all the set values.
Variable	Variable name (String)	Function to get a variable value. The function is needed when there are spaces in a variable name, because that variable cannot be referenced otherwise in the expressions.

Examples: Coalesce(0, 1) Returns: 0 Coalesce(null, 1) Coalesce(_empty, 1) Coalesce(_remove, 1) All return: 1 Coalesce([[null, 1], [null, null]], 3) Returns: [[3, 1], [3, 3]] Coalesce([[null, 1], 2], 3) Returns: [[3, 1], null] Coalesce([1, [null, 2], null], 3) Returns: [1, [null, 2], 3]
ConformanceModelFromXml	BPMN 2.0 XML document (String)	Creates new (DesignModel object) from BPMN 2.0 XML document provided as a string. (BPMN 2.0 specification: https://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/). In the BPMN 2.0 XML file, the http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI section is not used by the function, and thus it can be omitted to reduce transferred data. Note that the quotation marks need to be escaped if the BPMN 2.0 XML is provided as a literal in the expression. Example: Let("myConformanceModel", ConformanceModelFromXml(" <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> <bpmn:definitions xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:bpmn=\"http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL\" xmlns:bpmndi=\"http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI\"> <bpmn:process id=\"Process_1\" isExecutable=\"false\"> <bpmn:startEvent id=\"StartEvent_1\" /> <bpmn:task id=\"Task_0y5w837\" name=\"abc\"> <bpmn:outgoing>SequenceFlow_10mpkws</bpmn:outgoing> </bpmn:task> <bpmn:task id=\"Task_0c16r07\" name=\"def\"> <bpmn:incoming>SequenceFlow_10mpkws</bpmn:incoming> </bpmn:task> <bpmn:sequenceFlow id=\"SequenceFlow_10mpkws\" sourceRef=\"Task_0y5w837\" targetRef=\"Task_0c16r07\" /> </bpmn:process> <bpmndi:BPMNDiagram id=\"BPMNDiagram_1\"> ... </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram> </bpmn:definitions> "))
EventLogById	FilterId (Integer)	Returns EventLog object corresponding to the provided filter Id.
GetContext	Hierarchical array	Returns the context of given hierarchical array. Returns the context object of the given hierarchical array. If the given object is not an hierarchical array, returns null. Examples: GetContext("a":1) Returns: "a" ["a":1, "b":2, 2:3].GetContext(_) Returns: ["a", "b", 2] ([1,2,3]:(_*2)).GetContext(_) Returns: [1, 2, 3] ["a":1, 2, 3].GetContext(_) Returns: ["a", null, null]
GetValueOfContext	Context object Hierarchical array from which the value is searched	Returns the value of specified context object in given hierarchical array. Returns the the first value of specified context object in the given hierarchical array. If a match is found, the result will be an array. Returns _empty if the given key was not found. Examples: GetValueOfContext("bar", ["foo":1, "bar":2]) Returns: [2] GetValueOfContext("bar", ["foo":1, "bar":2, "bar":"second"]) Returns: [2] GetValueOfContext("test", ["foo":1, "bar":2]) Returns: _empty
ModelById	ModelId (Integer)	Returns Model object corresponding to the provided model Id.
If	Condition expression True expression False expression	Evaluates the condition expression and if it's true, returns the value of the second parameter. Otherwise returns the value of the third parameter. Always evaluates only either the second or the third parameter, but never both. Examples: If(Now.Second % 2 == 0, "Even second", "Odd second") Returns: "Event second" or "Odd second" depending on the time of the evaluation. For("i", 0, i < 10, i + 1, i).If(_ % 2 == 0, _, _remove) Returns: [0, 2, 4, 6, 8] NOTE: Is equivalent to: For("i", 0, i < 10, i + 1, i).Where(_ % 2 == 0)
IsNull (Boolean)	Value to test (Object)	Return true if the provided value is null, otherwise returns false.
Where	Condition expression False expression	Returns the context object if the given expression evaluates to true. Otherwise returns the second parameter. The second parameter is optional and it's by default EMPTY. Examples: [1,2,3,4].Where(_>2) Returns: [3,4] [1,2,3,4].Where(_>2, _+100) Returns: [101, 102, 3,4] [1,2,3].[_,_+1] Returns: [[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]] [1,2,3].[_,_+1].Where(_>=3) Returns: [[], [3], [3, 4]] [1,2,3].[_,_+1].Where(_>=3, _remove) Returns: [[3], [3, 4]]
