Creating Stages Data Collector

Create a Data Collector

  1. Log into Stages as a user different to the superuser (administrator).
    1. The user needs at least (RMC) permissions of the domain Reports and Data Collectors.
    2. Note: Otherwise you cannot get the Data Collector running because the Data Collector is running in the context of the user who saved the collector the last time. For security reasons, the superuser context is disabled.
  2. Select your metric in the Processes Application in Stages where you want to add a Data Collector.
  3. Select the Data Collectors tab, click on the + SIgn to add a new Data Collector.
  4. Enter a name for this Data Collector and click on the Script tab.
  5. Click the More button to enter the first Column name “DocumentName” and continue with the others.
  6. Enter a data collector script.
var artifacts =
pkit.getCurrentProject().getEntities("containsProcess@SYSTEM")
[0].getEntities("containsArtifact@SYSTEM");
for (i = 0; i <artifacts.length; i++) {
var artifacts_instances =
 artifacts[i].getEntities("containsInstance@SYSTEM");
for (j = 0; j <artifacts_instances.length; j++) {
 var artifacts_revisions =
 artifacts_instances[j].getEntities("containsRevision@SYSTEM");
if (artifacts_revisions.length == 0) {
 dataset.setColumnValue("State", "no version");
 } else {
 dataset.setColumnValue("State",
 artifacts_revisions[0].getProperty("state"));
 }
 dataset.setColumnValue("DocumentName",
 artifacts_instances[j].getProperty("LogicalName"));
 dataset.storeResultRow();
 }
}
