Interface WebWorkingSet


  • public interface WebWorkingSet
    The WebWorkingSet interface allows access the working set and base filter of a report instance. This interface allows the user to obtain the working set subject to a filter on object type, along with supplying incremental fetch capabilities for the working set folder. In addition, objects can be removed from the base report using this interface.

    MicroStrategy Web 7.3.1 or earlier

      • getFilter

        WebFilter getFilter()
                     throws WebObjectsException
        Returns a WebFilter object, which contains the contents of the base filter (also known as the report filter or working set filter) of the report. This is equivalent to getFilter(true).
        Returns:
        A WebFilter object which contains the filter information for this report instance.
        Throws:
        WebObjectsException - Indicates an inability to obtain the filter definition from the Intelligence Server.
      • getObjectFilter

        SimpleList getObjectFilter()
        Deprecated.
        Returns a SimpleList object, which will allow Integer objects to be added to it. These Integers should correspond to values in EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes. If this list is nonempty when getWorkingSetObjects is called, the list of objects returned will be the objects from the working set which are of one of the types set on this object. Note that this filter is applied before incremental fetch is applied.
        Returns:
        A SimpleList, which can be used to view, add, and remove items from the object filter.
      • getWorkingSetObjects

                                throws WebObjectsException
        Returns the set of working set objects for the current report instance as a WebFolder object. If the object filter was set, then the objects returned will be only those objects in the working set which fit the filter criteria. If the sortBy parameter is set, then the list of objects in the folder will be sorted.
        Returns:
        A WebFolder object, containing the objects in this report's working set.
        Throws:
        WebObjectsException - Thrown if an error occurs in obtaining the working set objects.
      • getWorkingSetObjects

                                throws WebObjectsException
        Returns the set of working set objects for the current report instance as a WebFolder object. If the object filter was set, then the objects returned will be only those objects in the working set which fit the filter criteria. Note that this method supports incremental fetch. The incremental fetch boundaries will be applied after applying the filter. If the sortBy parameter is set, then the list of objects in the folder will be sorted.
        Parameters:
        blockBegin - The first object in the working set collection to return.
        blockCount - The total number of objects to return from the working set collection.

      • removeUnit

                                     WebReportValidationException
        Removes an object from the working set of the report. The applyNow parameter will determine whether the changes will be applied immediately, or simply added to the string of manipulations on the report instance without sending the changes to the Intelligence Server. If the applyNow parameter is true, a new WebReportInstance object will be returned, which will refer to a report instance on the Intelligence Server with the requested changes. If the applyNow parameter is false, the report instance which owns the WebWorkingSet object will be returned. This object should already be held by the user, and thus should not be of any importance in this use case.
        Parameters:
        object - A WebObjectInfo object referring to the object to remove from the working set of the report.
        applyNow - Tells the API whether to apply the change now by sending all changes to the Intelligence Server or simply add the manipulation to the current report instance without applying the changes.
        Returns:
        A WebReportInstance referring to the report resulting from this call.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if the input parameter is null, or input object does not represent an object in the workingset.
