[kepler-users] Question on output port from "File Copier" actor...

[J. Marc Edwards]

All:

I am connecting the output port of the "File Copier" actor that
"...broadcasts the new file path and name..." to a relation that splits
the relation output to (1) the input port of a "Directory Listing" actor
AND (2) the input port of a "Display" actor (Display1).

The output port of the "Directory Listing" actor is connected to a
SEPARATE "Display" actor (Display2).

When I run the simple workflow, only Display1 from the "Directory
Listing" actor lists the contents of the directory where I copied the
new file.

Display2, connected to the relation from the "File Copier" actor output
port, does not display anything.

I created this configuration because when I connected just a single
"Display" actor to the output port of the "File Copier" actor, nothing
was displayed.  So I then tested this using the multiple "Display"
actors as described above.

I don't understand why the "Display" actor does not accept the output
("token"?) from the output port from the "File Copier" actor?

The "Display" actor description says that the "Display" actor input port
can accept "...tokens of any type."

Regards, Marc
