Thanks for all the responses.
I have looked into IterateOverArray, but the documentation is not very clear
and I have no idea at all of how to use it. It has no input nor output ports by
default.
Setting "enforceArrayLength" to false while using SDF does not work at all.
With DDF, it works but it also keeps iterating indefinitely. How do I create a
workflow where an actor can consume any number of input token dynamically
without keep repeating?
As a simple example using SDF director (iterations set to 1), I have a constant
actor with value {1,2,3}. I connect the output port of that actor to the input
port of ArrayToSequence, and then connect a Display actor to it. What I want is
an output of:
1
2
3
whenever I click the run button once.
This would be very easy if I set the value of arrayLength to 3, but is there
any other way to achieve the same result without having to know the length of
the input array before running the workflow?

If the boolean parameter "enforceArrayLength" is set to false, the arrayLength
parameter will have no effect, and it will work dynamically as you would
expect. This does violate the contract implicit in SDF, though, that each actor
has a constant token production and consumption rate. If the actor is only
invoked once, though, I doubt that will be a problem.

Hi All,
I am a new Kepler user who somehow stuck at how to do a specific thing in
Kepler.
I am using a SDF director to run a simple sequential workflow only once.
However, in the middle of the workflow, there would be an actor that outputs an
array with arbitrary length. I want to process each element of the array using
another actor all in the same iteration, and it seems the easiest way to do
that is by using the ArrayToSequence actor. However, the actor requires
arrayLength parameter to be set prior to running the workflow. Is there a way
to make the arrayLength parameter dynamic and automatically set to the length
of the array received by the input port?
Regards,
Alvin
