Click DFC to create a filter that makes a DFC call from your
production object. This allows you to avoid using ODL to make the
DFC call. Use this filter to handle throughput issues.

Func Field
|
Enter the name of the field to use or
the field from the drop-down list.
|
Func DL
|
If you do not already have a function
field, you can use a function datalink. If you do have a function
field and enter a function datalink, the datalink is ignored. To
create a function datalink, type it in the space provided or select
one from the drop-down list.
|
Func Lit
|
If you do not have a function field or
a function datalink, you can use a function literal. If you do have
either one of the other functions, the function literal is ignored.
To create a function literal, enter the name.
|
Flavor
|
This is the DFC function flavor. To increase
or decrease the flavor, click the up or down arrows to the right
of the field.
|
Timeout
|
This is how long the DFC call waits for
a response before timing out. To increase or decrease the time-out,
click the up or down arrows to the right of the field.
|
Fire and Forget
|
This function sends a DFC call, and does
not wait for a response. When this option is selected, the timeout
function is ignored.
|
Flow Control
|
This function appears only when the Fire
and Forget option is selected. By enabling this function, you are
telling the filter that on every “Nth” call,
make a block call using the timeout function.
Where “N” is the number of
instances that can be spawned by your server.
