Splitting up GeoAnalytics connector operations
Jul 1, 2021 6:07:34 AM
Nov 6, 2018 9:38:02 AM
Many of the GeoAnalytics can be executed with a split input of the indata table. This article explains which and how to modify the code that the connector produces. Operations that cannot be Splittable are mostly the aggregating and hence not Splittable. When loadable tables are used for input, inline tables are created in loops and can be used for a quick way to split. Of course it's possible to write custom code to do the splitting instead.
Making calls with large indata tables often causes time outs on the server side, splitting is a way around that.
Environment:
Splittable ops | Non-Splittable ops | Special ops, splittable |
---|---|---|
|
|
|
Binning and SpatialIndex
Bining and SpatialIndex differs from other operations, they are not placing any call to the server if the indata are internal geometries, ie lat ,ong points. The operations als produce the same type of results so the resulting tables can be concatenated.
Resolution:
Example, a Within operation
Before the edit
The code as the connector produces it:
/* Generated by Idevio GeoAnalytics for operation Within ---------------------- */
Let [EnclosedInlineTable] = 'POSTCODE' & Chr(9) & 'Postal.Latitude' & Chr(9) & 'Postal.Longitude';
Let numRows = NoOfRows('PostalData');
Let chunkSize = 1000;
Let chunks = numRows/chunkSize;
For n = 0 to chunks
Let chunkText = '';
Let chunk = n*chunkSize;
For i = 0 To chunkSize-1
Let row = '';
Let rowNr = chunk+i;
Exit for when rowNr >= numRows;
For Each f In 'POSTCODE', 'Postal.Latitude', 'Postal.Longitude'
row = row & Chr(9) & Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(Peek('$(f)', $(rowNr), 'PostalData'), Chr(39), '\u0027'), Chr(34), '\u0022'), Chr(91), '\u005b'), Chr(47), '\u002f'), Chr(42), '\u002a'), Chr(59), '\u003b');
Next
chunkText = chunkText & Chr(10) & Mid('$(row)', 2);
Next
[EnclosedInlineTable] = [EnclosedInlineTable] & chunkText;
Next
chunkText=''
Let [EnclosingInlineTable] = 'ClubCode' & Chr(9) & 'Car5mins_TravelArea';
Let numRows = NoOfRows('TravelAreas5');
Let chunkSize = 1000;
Let chunks = numRows/chunkSize;
For n = 0 to chunks
Let chunkText = '';
Let chunk = n*chunkSize;
For i = 0 To chunkSize-1
Let row = '';
Let rowNr = chunk+i;
Exit for when rowNr >= numRows;

Next
chunkText = chunkText & Chr(10) & Mid('$(row)', 2);
Next
[EnclosingInlineTable] = [EnclosingInlineTable] & chunkText;
Next
chunkText=''
[WithinAssociations]:
SQL SELECT [POSTCODE], [ClubCode] FROM Within(enclosed='Enclosed', enclosing='Enclosing')

After edit
The header and the call is moved inside of the loop. chunkSize decides how big each split is.
Note that the first inline table now comes after the first one, this to get the call inside of the iteration.

It would be very helpful if you could provide an example for operation Routes

It would be helpful to have an example for every option that is splittable, especially seeing as official documentation is so poor.
