Calculate only

With this option you can create a variable to split your workflow into multiple sub-workables.

If you select the checkbox Calculate Only in the Variable Printing Data node, the node will not execute the VDP, but it will create a variable that contains information how you can split your workflow into multiple sub-workables to run PACKZflow VDP in parallel.

In the parameter Output Results to Variable Name, enter the variable name that will output the values that you can use to create your parallel execution. For example, in case of a 4x3 repetition input file, the variable output will have the following contents:

ranges: [
{
    count: 540,
    start: 1
}]
,
total: 540,
details: {
    DatabaseSize: 21,
    VDPStations: 54,
    NonVDPStations: 0,
    LiveObjectsOutsideVDP: 0,
    LiveObjectsInDynamicContent: 108,
    RegularObjectsOutsideVDP: 0,
    RepeatColumn: "_N_",
    RegularObjectsInDynamicVDP: 0,
    RegularObjectsInStaticVDP: 270,
    LiveObjectsInStaticContent: 0,
    DatabaseSizeWithRepeatsOptional: 540
}
}

DatabaseSize: 21 shows the number of records are in the database.
DatabaseSizeWithRepeatsOptional: 540 shows the number of total records that will be used when repeating the records, if you use repeats in your VDP configuration. If there are no repeats in your configuration, the number will be equal to DatabaseSize. In the example above, the database is repeating using the record name _N_.
