jet.api.BLCategoryInfo

jet.api.BusinessViewCategoryInfo

public class BusinessViewCategoryInfo
extends BLCategoryInfo

The BusinessViewCategoryInfo class defines the Category object of Logi Report Business View. Categories are the main tools for organizing data. They are components which correspond to particular collections of data in the data source. They are grouped in folders that are named to reflect information collections. A category can contain any number of subcategories.

Organizing data required by a user into multiple categories or multiple levels of categories is meaningful, and makes it easy to understand the data. End users can use categories to find data elements they need to use without knowing the underlying table names although sometimes the table names are used as categories.

The BusinessViewCategoryInfo class contains the methods for adding Detail, Group and Aggregation objects into the Category. The normal workflow is to get a handle to the query node where you want to create the Business View meta-data, insert the Business View, add the Category then add the details, groups and aggregations you want in the category.

1. catalogAPI.getQueries(...)
2. String bvHandle = catalogAPI.insertBusinessView(...)
3. BusinessViewCategoryInfo bvc = new BusinessViewCategoryInfo(...)
4. bvc.addBVGroup(...), bvc.addBVAggregation(...), bvc.addBVDetail(...)
5. catalogAPI.insertBusinessViewCategory(bvHandle, bvc)
