OPH_AGGREGATE2

Description

Type

Data Process.

Behaviour

It executes an aggregation operation based on hierarchy on a datacube.

Parameters

  • cube: name of the input datacube. The name must be in PID format.
  • schedule: scheduling algorithm. The only possible value is 0, for a static linear block distribution of resources.
  • dim: name of dimension on which the operation will be applied. By default the operator considers the explicit dimension with the highest level.
  • concept_level: concept level inside the hierarchy used for the operation.
  • midnight: if 00, then the edge point of two consecutive aggregate time sets will be aggregated into the right set; if 24 (default), then the edge point will be aggregated into the left set.
  • operation: reduction operation. Possible values are “count”, “max”, “min”, “avg” and “sum”.
  • missingvalue: value to be considered as missing value; by default it is NAN (for float and double).
  • grid: optional argument used to identify the grid of dimensions to be used (if the grid already exists) or the one to be created (if the grid has a new name). If it isn’t specified, no grid will be used.
  • container: name of the container to be used to store the output cube; by default it is the input container.
  • check_grid: optional flag to be enabled in case the values of grid have to be checked (valid only if the grid already exists).
  • description : additional description to be associated with the output cube.

System parameters

  • exec_mode: operator execution mode. Possible values are async (default) for asynchronous mode, sync for synchronous mode with json-compliant output.
  • ncores: number of parallel processes to be used (min. 1).
  • sessionid: session identifier used server-side to manage sessions and jobs. Usually, users don’t need to use/modify it, except when it is necessary to create a new session or switch to another one.
  • objkey_filter: filter on the output of the operator written to file (default=all => no filter, none => no output, aggregate2 => shows operator’s output PID as text).

Examples

Compute the maximum with respect to time dimension on the datacube identified by the PID “URL/1/1”:

[OPH_TERM] >>  oph_aggregate2 operation=max;dim=time;concept_level=A;cube=URL/1/1;grid=new_grid;
