AAE parameter value override

[Jérôme Rocheteau <je...@univ-nantes.fr>]

Hello,

I would like to know a little more about the overrides of parameter values between
Aggregate Analysis Engines and the fact that their embedded Flow Controllers could
access to these values.

I designed the following AE where every Analysis Engines (Primitive and Aggregate)
have a String multivalued optional parameter called SofaNames. And this parameter
value of AAE 1 (resp. AAE 2) overrides those of AE 1.1 ... AE1.m (resp AE 2.1 .. AE
2.n). Moreover, this parameter value of AAE 0 overrides those of AAE 1 and AAE 2. And
this parameter value is given through the CAS Processor Configuration Parameter
Settings of a Collection Processing Engine.

* AAE 0
  ** AAE 1
    *** AE 1.1
     ...
    *** AE 1.m
  ** AEE 2
    *** AE 2.1
    ...
    *** AE 2.n

The Flow Controller I use retrieves the SofaNames parameter value of the AAE. If it
fails to retrieve such a value, it throws an exception. 

However, when I use AAE 1 only, no one exception is thrown whereas when I use the AAE 0
neither the AAE 1 Flow Controller nor the AAE 2 one retrieve such a value.

The CPE sets the AAE 0 's SofaNames parameter value correctly but neither the AAE 1
nor AAE 2's SofaNames parameter value are set. 

I supposed that it should not be the case. 

Does anybody can explain why? If it is a kind of bug or if I am wrong and I miss
something in the documentation. 

Thanks in advance,

Best,
Jérôme

What happens if you run the full aggregate from some other tool, like the CVD?
Need to debug these things in a simpler scenario than using the CPM.
