What the Data for This Category Looks Like
Financial report data for the construction machinery industry comes primarily from periodic reports of listed companies disclosed by the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, as well as public statistical data released by the construction machinery industry association. Three update frequency categories apply:
- Annual financial reports are disclosed by the end of April of the following year
- Quarterly financial reports are released within one month after the end of each quarter
- Monthly industry data including sales volume and utilization rate is updated each month
Document structures include both structured financial indicator tables and unstructured analysis text. Core fields include operating revenue, attributable net profit, R&D investment ratio, as well as category-specific indicators such as excavator sales volume and crane utilization rate. Most field units are ten thousand yuan, units, and percentage.
Constraints Imposed on Workflow Orchestration
Multi-source and heterogeneous data sources require workflows to integrate structured data pulling and unstructured PDF parsing nodes, to avoid limitations from a single data source. Different update cycles require workflows to support scheduled trigger rules configured separately for quarterly and monthly frequencies, to avoid ineffective execution caused by mismatched synchronization frequency and data update rhythm. The relatively long length of financial report documents requires adjusting text splitting parameters to avoid destroying the integrity of indicator tables. Specialized category-specific fields require targeted extraction rule configuration; general financial report field mapping logic cannot be directly reused, otherwise indicator extraction errors will occur.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
multi_source_sync_interval | Combined by scenario: set quarterly financial report synchronization to 90 days, set industry monthly data synchronization to 30 days | Matches the official update cycle of construction machinery financial reports and industry data |
pdf_parse_chunk_size | 800–1200 characters | Adapts to the text length per page of construction machinery financial reports, avoids splitting that destroys the integrity of financial tables and indicator rows |
json_path_extract_rules | Configure specialized field paths: $.report.financials.revenue, $.industry.sales.excavator | Matches the specialized field hierarchy of construction machinery financial reports and industry data, avoids failure of general extraction rules |
workflow_export_enable | true | Enables workflow export function, supports standardized configuration reuse within teams |
http_request_timeout | 600 seconds | Adapts to the time required for pulling and parsing large annual report PDFs, avoids execution termination due to timeout |
variable_transfer_validate | Enabled | Validates the variable format received by downstream nodes, filters null values and extraction results with incorrect formats |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- Symptom: The
http_requestnode returns a403 Forbiddenstatus code, and financial report data disclosed by the stock exchange cannot be pulled. Cause: Correcthttp_request_base_urland request header parameters are not configured, triggering a block by the anti-crawling mechanism. - Symptom: Variables extracted via
json_pathare empty, and downstream nodes cannot obtain construction machinery-specific indicators. Cause: Correct jsonPath paths are not configured for specialized fields, and general financial report extraction rules are mistakenly used. - Symptom: Clicking the workflow export button has no response, and configuration files cannot be exported. Cause: The
workflow_export_enableconfiguration item is not enabled, so the export function is disabled.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Manually trigger the workflow once, check the execution logs of each node, and confirm that the content returned by the multi-source data pulling node includes construction machinery-specific indicators.
- Extract corresponding fields from test financial report data, and verify that the field paths configured in
json_path_extract_rulescan normally generate variables. - Check the scheduled task management interface, and confirm that the synchronization cycle matches the official update rhythm of financial reports and industry data.
- Click the workflow export button, and verify that the export function works normally and configuration parameters are complete and not missing.
