Aggregation
Description
Aggregation is used to consolidate all valid completed offers from all Workbenches into a single workgroup offer. It can be used by external partners, companies or others, if you define Publications.
Consult the aggregation list
You can consult the list of Aggregations by selecting in the menu “Workgroup”-> “Aggregated offers”.
For each aggregation, Status, Name, Date and time of creation, Duration, Created by, are displayed.
Manual Aggregation
If modifications have been made to your line or stop areas referential, launching an aggregation manually will allow you to quickly take these modifications into account.
Manual aggregation is accessible in the “Aggregated offer” menu section.
All the merged offers of the workbenches that are going to be aggregated are displayed in the “Workbench” list.
Automatic Aggregation
If you want your offer to be updated daily, you can automate the aggregation of your data in Workgroup > Settings > Aggregation. You can define several daily aggregations by specifying:
the time
the days
if a daily publication must be forced
An aggregation operation will launch only if at least one finalized offer has changed
If you want to update your data without waiting for the automatic aggregation to take place, you can aggregate the offer manually whenever you want.
Selection of merged offers and prioritization
An authorized user can modify the configuration of their workgroup so that the aggregation of data takes into account a specific merged offer for a given workbenches.
If one of the merged offers turns out to be incorrect for a data producer, the owner of a workgroup can decide to revert to an older valid version. The work of the other teams can therefore continue without the entire chain being impacted.
The authorized user can also decide that an offer has a higher priority than another one, 1 being the highest priority. Data merged for a Workbench with a higher priority will overwrite data from other Workbenches with a lower priority.
Urgent offer
For each Workgroup, Chouette checks every 15 minutes if one of the current offers proposed by one of the Workbenches contains an urgent offer that has not yet been aggregated. If so, an aggregation is initiated.
A current offer is eligible if it contains an urgent data set that has been merged since the last aggregation (or since the last feedback on a previous aggregated offer).
Consult the aggregated offer
For each aggregation, a summary sheet is available.
The upper part of the sheet contains general information, the aggregation processing time, and a link to the aggregated offer.
The lower part contains information on the finalized offers used during the aggregation, the processing time for each one, and the number of resources processed.
Rollback to the previous aggregation
To undo the aggregation that has already been executed, there is a rollback function available in the list of actions on previous aggregation. Just click on the star wheel of one of the previous aggregation and click on “Rollback”.
This manipulation makes possible to cancel unwanted aggregations.
Purge of aggregated offers
Chouette keeps the last 10 aggregated offers. A purge takes place after each successful aggregation. The mechanism is similar to the purge of merged offers.
