What This Category's Data Looks Like
Refractory material market and yield rate data comes from three primary sources: publicly monitored data from industry associations, transaction records from bulk commodity spot trading platforms, and procurement ledgers from downstream kiln and steel enterprises. Update frequency varies by product segment. Common refractory materials are updated weekly. Special refractory materials are updated monthly. Each data document includes these fields: product category name, origin identifier, grade code, ex-factory unit price, spot unit price, and downstream industry operating rate percentage. Units are uniformly yuan per ton.
Constraints Imposed on Model Access and Configuration by Data Characteristics
The data characteristics of refractory material categories create multiple constraints for the model access and configuration process. The parallel weekly and monthly update cycles require configuring differentiated scheduled pull tasks, to separate high-frequency and low-frequency data synchronization periods. The multi-field document structure requires configuring multi-dimensional matching rules during access. Use product category name, grade code, origin identifier as combined retrieval conditions, to avoid mixing data for different refractory material grades. Differences in data formats across sources require configuring format conversion plugins, to unify processing of raw data files in CSV and JSON formats. The presence of downstream association fields requires pre-configuring cross-data source permission checks, to ensure compliant calls to associated data.
How to Set the Configuration
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
syncSchedule | Common products: 0 0 * * 1,3,5; Special products: 0 0 1 * * | Matches the weekly and monthly data release cycles for refractory materials, to set scheduled synchronization tasks |
multiFieldRetrieval | Category Name, Brand Code, Origin Identifier | Uses combined multi-field retrieval to avoid mixing data for different refractory material grades |
dataParseMode | autoFormat | Adapts to raw data files in multiple formats including CSV and JSON, to automatically parse field structures |
workflowRetryPolicy | maxRetries:2, fallbackModel:["local-llm-1", "cloud-llm-2"] | Configures retry and fallback logic after model call failures, to address unstable model services |
maxInputToken | 8000 | Adapts to the field count and length of refractory material market data documents, to avoid context truncation |
crossDataSourcePermission | enabled | Enables cross-data source permission checks, to ensure compliant calls to downstream industry associated data |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration setup. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Symptom: Refractory material data returned by model calls does not match the submitted retrieval conditions, with mixed data across different grades. Cause: No combined multi-field retrieval rule is configured, only a single product category name is used as the matching condition, which cannot distinguish between refractory materials of the same name but different grades.
- Symptom: Model calls in workflows terminate directly after failure, without triggering the preset fallback logic. Cause: No fallback model parameter is configured for
workflowRetryPolicy, and the failure retry and model switching mechanism is not enabled. - Symptom: The data synchronization interface returns a
400 Bad Requesterror. Cause: The submitted refractory material data document lacks the grade code or origin identifier fields, which does not meet the format requirements preset by the interface.
How to Confirm Successful Configuration
- View the running logs of scheduled synchronization tasks, to confirm that the trigger cycle matches the configuration of the
syncScheduleparameter. - Submit a single standard-format test data set for refractory materials, to check whether the retrieval results include the correct product category name, grade code, and origin identifier.
- Manually trigger a test scenario where model calls fail, to verify whether retry and fallback logic is executed according to the configuration of
workflowRetryPolicy. - Check the configuration status of cross-data source permissions, to confirm that the
crossDataSourcePermissionparameter is enabled.
