Inserting a Business View

To insert a business view, use the following method:

insertBusinessView(String dataSourceName, String queriableName, String businessViewName, boolean isLogicView=false)

Parameters

dataSourceName - The mapping name of the data source in the catalog to which you want to insert the object.
queriableName - The queriable object's mapping name. The queriable object in JReport catalog could be a query, UDS, stored procedure or imported SQL. When queriableName is a valid name of an existing queriable object, a business view will be created.
businessViewName - The name of the business view.
isLogicView - Indicates whether to insert a business view. When it is false, a business view will be created.

When you have a business view created successfully, you can then add elements into it. A business view can contain the following elements: categories, group objects, aggregation objects and detail objects。

The following methods are used to insert a view element into a business view and to return the handle of the newly inserted object if it is inserted successfully, otherwise null if there is a failure:

insertBusinessViewCategory(String parentHandle, BusinessViewCategoryInfo info)
insertBusinessViewGroup(String parentHandle, BVGroupInfo info)
insertBusinessViewAggregation(String parentHandle, BVAggregationInfo info)
insertBusinessViewDetail(String parentHandle, BVDetailInfo info)

Parameters

parentHandle - The handle of the parent object. It can be a business view or a category.
info - The definition class of the view element. It can contain its children's definition.

See an example: The sample TestCatalogBC.java in <install_root>\help\samples\APICatalog shows how to create a business view using the Catalog API.
