Introduction
The Alumio Inspection Tool allows you to focus on a specific Transformer and ensure it performs with outputs.
With this tool, you can execute specific parts of a large Transformer without running the entire workflow.
The Inspection Tool replaces the debugging functionality that was previously offered by data points and improves it by showing the input, output, and Transformer settings side by side. In addition, Alumio supports autocomplete options based on the available input data for placeholders &{ in the Inspection Tool.
To discover the new Inspection Tool, navigate to Transformers → click on the Inspection Tool icon → Run step and view results.
Guide
Here is how you can work with the Inspection Tool in the Transformer:
Step 1: Go to Transformers → select the existing Transformer and navigate to the Transformer details page.
Step 2: For each Transformer, you can click on the “Inspection Tool” button to start verifying the expected results of either a specific part of that Transformer or the entire one.
- If you select the Inspection Tool for the entire Transformer, the Inspection Tool popup expands and displays all parts of the Transformer that can be tested.
- If you select a specific part of the Transformer, the Inspection Tool popup will only display that part for testing.
Step 3: Once the Inspection Tool popup expands, you can view the following functionality:
- Input - shows if any input is pre-defined. If not, you can set input manually by clicking on the corresponding button or get input from the appropriate Transformer. When editing or adding new data to the Transformer, you can use the autocomplete option for placeholders &{
- Note: If a placeholder doesn’t exist in the input data, a warning message will be shown in the field.
- Inspection Tool - indicates all settings made to a particular part of the Transformer and allows you to add more data for processing. On the right side of the popup, you can find the “Run step” button which works as a starting point for the execution of the Transformer.
- Output - displays the received data once the Inspection Tool has finished running.
Step 4: To check out logs of the Inspection Tool running process, click on the “View logs” button in the right corner of the popup.
Step 5: Find all the Transformers set-up in the Transformer tester functionality and view their structure. In addition, run the Transformer tester to view the entire Transformer execution.
