Application inputs in the EPISODES Platform can be specified in several ways (Individual files, Files form chosen directory, Application output, Application input and Automatic choice). There are two input selection options that allow to connect application inputs to other application: Application output and Application input. 

When using Application output option the output of first application becomes the input of the next application. This option is useful when creating a sequence of tasks where results form one application should be passed on to the next application. 

When using Application input option the input of the first application becomes the input of the next application. This option is useful when the given application should always have the same input as another application.

Contents of this guide

With this guide you will learn how to connect application inputs to other applications using Application output and Application input options. Please consult the Applications page for more information about creating and running applications. 

Application output 

Application output option enables to use the output of first application as the input for the next application. This option is useful when creating a sequence of tasks or a Workflow where results form one application should be passed on to the next application. Each time the first application is executed the input file for the next application is updated.

To use Application output option you need a first application which produces output of the given data type and second application which accepts input with compatible data type. When the first application produces multiple output files the first file with compatible data type will be selected.

Figures 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 show an example connection of two applications:

  1. CatalogToVectors application produces Time.mat file. The file has data type Time which is a subtype of Data vector
  2. TransformationED application accepts input file of type Data vector. Input is specified as Application output from CatalogToVectors application. 
  3. The only compatible output of CatalogToVectors application is Time.mat file so it becomes an input of TransformationED application. Each time the CatalogToVectors application is executed Time.mat output file is updated and passed to TransformationED application

Figure 1.1 Configuring Application output step 1: Two applications in the workspace CatalogToVectors application which returns Time.mat file (Data vector) and TransformationED application which accepts Data vector input. To create the input connection click SELECT FILES button.



Figure 1.2  Configuring Application output step 2: Select Application output option and CatalogToVectors application as a source application.



Figure 1.3 Configuring Application output step 3: CatalogToVectors/Time.mat file is now the input of TransformationED application.
