Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives (optional)

The alternatives to consider. Set some alternatives as inactive (or remove them) to ignore them.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternatives>.

preference

The preference relation from which to compute flows.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesMatrix>.

flow_type

The type of flow to compute: positive, negative or net.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodParameters>. It must have the following form:

<programParameters>
<parameter>
<values>
<value>
<label>%1</label>

</value>

</values>

</parameter>

</programParameters>

where:

  • %1 is a parameter named “flow_type”. It can have the following values:

    • POSITIVE: The positive flow
    • NEGATIVE: The negative flow
    • NET: The net flow

    The default value is item0.

Outputs

flows

The flows computed from the given data.

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>.

messages

A status message.

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <programExecutionResult>.
