Splitter Routing Block

Table 1.
Type
splitter

This block will receive data on a single input port and send that data on to any number of output ports specified by the output_count field. Its configuration fields are as follows:

Table 2.
Field	Type	Required	Default
output_count	Integer	yes
log_level	String		'off'
log_name	String		<block_name>

output_count

The output_count field determines how many output ports will be created for this block. The block’s output ports are named "output#” where “#” is a number starting at 1. The ‘mappings’ section in the example shows these output port names.

log_level and log_name

For details about the log_level and log_name fields, see Generic CDP Blocks.
