Pause Loop Execution Conditionally / Programmatically
Dear Knimers,
who hasn’t face the situation where a loop execution fails or you just want to inspect the data let’s say every then iterations?
As of today there is no node available to just halt a loop execution. Thankfully, due to flexibility of Knime but also the many awesome extensions, a solution is only some thoughts away.
Please find hereby a showcase of three solutions how to conditionally / programmatically pause execution.
Utilizing a little bit of Python, in curtesy of ChatGTP as I am not a developer, the first two open a modal drawing attention the the Knimer.
The second even provides some basic inspection capabilities.
The third leverages a simple pause / lock file in conjunction with the wait node.
Please let me know your thoughts and how to improve it?
Best
Mike
