Step 1. Launch Aspire and open the Content Source Management Page

Launch Aspire (if it's not already running). See:

• Launch Control

• Browse to: http://localhost:50505. For details on using the Aspire Content Source Management page, please refer to Admin UI

Step 3. Add a new Aspire Python Bridge to the Workflow

To add an Aspire Python Bridge drag from the Aspire Python Bridge rule from the Applications Workflow Library and drop to the On Add Update Workflow Tree. This will automatically open the Aspire Python Bridge window for the configuration.

Step 4

. Specify Configuration Information

 In the Aspire Python Bridge window, specify the desired options for .

General Configuration

1.  Python Executable Location: Enter the location of your Python executable location.
2.  Python Server Location: Enter the location of the python server. You can get the python server here.
3.  Script Type: You can either specify a path to your script file or enter the script in a text field.
   1. Script File: enter the location of your script.
   2. Script Text: enter the text of your script.
4. Thread Count: This is the number of Python server threads to be started. 

5.  Base Port Number: this is the base port for the Python servers. The system will try to start the first server on the specified port, if it is not available will try with the specified port +1, and so on. Then, for the second server it will try the following port by adding +1 to the base port, if unavailable then it will try the next one and so on.

6.  Enable Document Filtering: enables sending pieces of the original Aspire Object instead of the full object by using xPath. You can read about xPath here.

7. Merge Document?: if disabled, the result of the script will be added to the Aspire Object of the job under a "pythonBridgeResponse" tag. If enabled, the results will be merged with the contents of the Aspire Object of the job.

   1. Extend: if extend is selected as the merge approach, root objects from the script will be added to the Aspire Object of the job.

   2. Replace:  if replace is selected as the merge approach, root objects from the script will replace the objects of the Aspire Object of the job, if they existed. If they didn't exist, they will be added.
