TrialModule

This model demonstrates the backtracking functionality, new in 6.1. This is a backtracking version of this demo. TrialModule is a module that computes capitalized string of the input string. We have a "trial" version of this module, which allows only 3 times of usage. After three outputs, the trial expires and the module outputs only empty strings to the "output" port, and true values to the "error" port. The Backtrack actor is used to "hack" this module. A checkpoint will be created at the first invocation of the module. The checkpoint handle is recorded in the ResourcePool. Every time the module outputs error, the Backtrack actor restores its state with the checkpoint. The module then considers itself not expired, and continues to work.

TrialModule is available in two formats:
