why is the process method in a cell not called?

There are two main reasons why the process method would not be called:

• the cell is not active (passive filtering fails: the parameters are not found)
• the cell is not triggered (active filtering fails: no input data in the active pulse)

So here are a couple of things to check:

1. make sure your cells and repositorys are connected correctly,
2. check the filters in the cells (both active and passive) and make sure they match what is actually in the pulses (active and passive)
