What the data for this category looks like
The data for this category primarily comes from disclosure platforms of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange, as well as official announcements from listed companies. Listed companies follow a regular disclosure schedule: they must release annual reports by April 30 each year, and publish semi-annual and quarterly reports according to corresponding timelines. Most documents are multi-page PDFs, containing sections such as consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis. Revenue, gross margin and other data for household subcategories mostly appear in the main business analysis section of management's discussion and analysis. Fields include revenue and gross margin for each subcategory, with units mostly in ten thousand RMB, and some disclosed in hundred million RMB.
What constraints these characteristics impose on workflow orchestration
The regular disclosure schedule requires workflow configuration to match disclosure cycle trigger rules, to avoid repeatedly pulling unupdated announcement data. PDF documents are poorly structured, and segmented data concentrates in specific sections. This requires workflow configuration to use precise section positioning rules, prioritizing scraping of the main business analysis section in management's discussion and analysis, and only extracting subcategory data within that section. Multi-subcategory field requirements mean workflow configuration needs multi-dimensional field extraction rules, covering revenue and gross margin fields for common household categories such as soft furniture, home textiles, and kitchenware. The variety of units requires workflows to add a unified conversion node, converting ten thousand RMB and hundred million RMB units from different disclosure standards to a unified format, to prevent data mismatches in subsequent processing steps.
How to Configure the Workflow
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 300 seconds | Household financial report PDFs usually contain multiple sections, and 300 seconds covers the full parsing duration to avoid mid-run timeout interruptions |
Similarity Threshold | 0.85–0.9 | Precise positioning of keywords such as "main business analysis" is required; a higher threshold filters interfering content from irrelevant sections |
Segment Length | 800–1200 characters | Household financial report segmented data is mostly concentrated in paragraphs; this length fully retains the context information of revenue and gross margin for a single category |
Scheduled Trigger Rule | Trigger according to quarterly disclosure timelines | Matches the disclosure schedule of quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reports of listed household goods companies to ensure data timeliness |
Field Extraction Matching Rule | Configured by category | Covers common household subcategories such as soft furniture, home textiles, and kitchenware to avoid missing corresponding field data |
Global Variable Initialization Configuration | Preset unit conversion mapping | Uniformly handles ten thousand RMB and hundred million RMB disclosure units to ensure consistency in subsequent data processing |
The parameter values provided on this page are general recommendations to serve as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require targeted analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- Symptom: The HTTP request node for pulling exchange announcements directly returns an error with status code 403. Cause: The User-Agent or Referer parameters in the request header are not configured. Exchange disclosure platforms block requests without valid identifiers.
- Symptom: Workflow runs prompt "Failed to obtain global variables". Cause: The unit conversion global mapping rule is not configured in advance, or the scope of global variables is set incorrectly, causing nodes to fail to read preset parameters.
- Symptom: After branching by problem category, some branches do not trigger the HTTP request node, resulting in missing data. Cause: The HTTP request node is not set as a globally shared node, only bound to a single branch, and does not cover all branch paths.
How to Verify a Complete Configuration
- Run a single test workflow, check if the parsed text only contains content from the management's discussion and analysis section, and verify the accuracy of keyword recall.
- View node runtime logs, confirm that all HTTP request return status codes are within normal ranges, with no timeout or error records.
- Check the global variable configuration page, confirm that the unit conversion mapping rule has been saved correctly, and that nodes can normally read preset parameters.
- Trigger test runs for all branch paths, confirm that all branches call the HTTP request node with no omissions.
