Engine Connection
Add Decision Engine
The Add Decision Engine feature in the Scorport Connection Module enables users to integrate approved Scorport-generated engines into their strategies. Unlike API connections, no URL is required for this step, as the system only allows integration of pre-approved engines that are already registered within Scorport. The process includes engine selection, configuration, testing, and saving.
Steps to Add a Decision Engine
Step 1: Create a New Engine Connection
- Open the Connection Designer module from your dashboard.
- Click Create New Connection and select Engine as the connection type.
- Enter a Connection Name (e.g., "Add Engine") to identify the engine connection.
Step 2: Configure the Engine
-
Select an Approved Engine:
- Use the dropdown menu labeled Select Approved Engine to choose from a list of pre-approved engines.
- Only engines that are registered and validated within the system will appear in this list.
Step 3: Test the Engine Connection
- Click the Test button to validate the engine connection.
- If a mock response is configured, the system will display the simulated result.
- If the engine is live, the system will fetch and display the actual response.
- Review the response to ensure the engine processes data as expected.
Step 4: Save the Connection
- Once the test is successful, click Save to store the connection.
- The engine connection will now be available for integration into strategies in the Strategy Designer module.
Using Decision Engines in Strategies
-
Integrate in Strategy Designer:
- Drag and drop the engine connection element into your strategy workflow.
- Specify how the engine's outputs will be used:
- As Inputs: Feed the engine’s response into subsequent calculations or decisions.
- As Outputs: Display the engine’s results for external consumption.
-
Test and Validate the Strategy:
- Use Scorport’s testing tools to simulate the strategy and verify the engine's behavior within the workflow.
Key Notes
- Approved Engines Only: The dropdown menu ensures only validated and pre-approved engines are selectable, maintaining system integrity.
- Dynamic Configuration: Payloads and mock responses can be customized to match the engine’s requirements.
- Real-Time Feedback: Test results provide immediate validation of the engine's functionality.
Benefits of Adding Decision Engines
- Seamless Integration:
- Use pre-approved engines for fast and reliable integration.
- Dynamic Functionality:
- Test and configure connections dynamically within the platform.
- Scalability:
- Add multiple engines to support hierarchical or complex strategies.
Adding Decision Engines in Scorport ensures robust, reliable, and flexible integration of advanced decision-making capabilities into your strategies.
