Creating a function

You can create a WFA function that can be used as a utility, if there is no predefined WFA function that is suitable for your task.

1. Click Designer > Functions.
2. Click on the toolbar.
3. In the New Function dialog box, enter or select the required details in the Function description and Function definition fields.
   Example

   def actualVolumeSize(data_size, snap_pct) 
   {
      if (snap_pct < 0 ) {
           snap_pct = 0;
      } else if (snap_pct > 99) {
           snap_pct = 99;
      }
      
      div = 1 - (snap_pct/100); 
      return (int)(data_size/div);
   }

   The Function name field is populated from the data that is used in the MVEL syntax.
4. Optional: Click Test to test the function:

      Example
      actualVolumeSize(600, 1)
   2. Click Test.
      The test result is displayed.
   3. Close the dialog box.
5. Click Save.
