CAEngine

<< Analytica Decision Engine (ADE) API

Properties

{get,put} string Command

Holds a typescript command that gets executed when the Send() method is called.

{get,put} CAObject CurrentModule

Newly created objects are placed into CurrentModule; so, you should set CurrentModule before creating any new objects. Setting CurrentModule = Nothing means that no module is open, so all new objects are created in the top-level Module or Model of the currently opened model.

{get,put} CARenderingStyle DefaultDefTableRenderingStyle

The default rendering style controlling how definition table values are transferred to and from ADE. All definition tables returned from CAObject::DefTable inherits these settings when they are first created.

{get,put} CARenderingStyle DefaultRenderingStyle

The default rendering style controlling how result values are returned from ADE. All CAObject instances inherit this rendering style when they are created.

{get} short int ErrorCode

Returns the error code generated by the last communication with the Analytica Decision Engine Server. The property ErrorCode should be checked after setting and retrieving critical CAEngine properties and calling CAEngine methods. An ErrorCode of zero indicates the last action was successful.

{get} string ErrorText

Short text explanation of error from ErrorCode.

{get} string Log

A record of all commands sent to the ADE typescript and the results received from those commands, when the Photo property is true.

{get} string OutputBuffer

A text string buffer that contains the result of the last typescript (i.e., using the Command property and Send method) interaction with the ADE.

{get,put} bool Photo

When Photo is True, ADE records all typescript commands and results into the Log property.
