Generating ouput and stored it as cache

[SH_94]

Dear community,

I saw one of the workflow whereby it store result as cache as per the screenshot below:

May i know normally in what circumstance we need to store the result as cache and could you please advise on this?

Thank you.

One case I can think of is that the increment calculation for a regular basis such as daily, weekly.

The saved yxdb from leg#1 of Block Until Done tool will be served as input for calculation of next increment.

#Leg#2 will read the "old" data, I suppose.

Hi @Qiu ,

I think that is one of the reason the worklfow being set up in this way for the increment calculation.

But curious , why we cant consolidate the file and calculate it? Instead of doing in the workflow that as per screenshot.

Thank you.

We need to consider it as a loop.

The output will be serving as input for next run, so the output shall be saved in where as "Cache".
