Syntax

<RegularDetection MonitorTypeStateID="MonitorTypeStateID”>
  <Node ID=”ModuleID”>… </Node>
</RegularDetection>

Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and the parent element of the RegularDetection element.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
MonitorTypeStateID	Required attribute. Represents the ID of the MonitorTypeState element with which this workflow is associated.

Child Elements

Element	Description
Node (RegularDetection)	Required attribute. Represents a module in the linear operational state-based workflow.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
RegularDetections	Required element. Contains regular detection workflows for each of the MonitorTypeState elements defined in the unit monitor type, unless the MonitorTypeState’s NoDetection attribute is set to true.

Remarks

Unit monitor workflows are defined with nested Node (RegularDetection) elements. Each node element is associated with any one of the modules listed in the MemberModules element. The inner-most node element’s module is the first step of the workflow. The outer-most node element’s module is the last step in the workflow.

Regular detection workflows must begin with a DataSource (UnitMonitor) module. If the data source module does not return true or false from within an internal ConditionDetection (UnitMonitorType) module, it must be followed a condition detection module that does so.

Example

The following sample shows how to define two regular detection workflows within a unit monitor type. Each workflow is associated with a different state of the monitor. The condition detection modules should return true or false to reflect if the state is achieved. To see the full unit monitor type definition, see the UnitMonitorType topic.

<RegularDetections>
  <RegularDetection MonitorTypeStateID="FirstEventRaised">
    <Node ID="FirstFilterCondition">
      <Node ID="FirstDataSource" />
    </Node>
  </RegularDetection>
  <RegularDetection MonitorTypeStateID="SecondEventRaised">
    <Node ID="SecondFilterCondition">
      <Node ID="SecondDataSource" />
    </Node>
  </RegularDetection>
</RegularDetections>
</MonitorImplementation>
