Drilling using Drill Paths

This example demonstrates drilling on a report using one of the default drill paths.

Code sample

This code sample assumes that a valid sessionID, messageID and a stateID exist for the report instance that is drilled. The drillPathID that is the ID of the drill path to be used for drilling is available as well.

try

{

//Get the WebObjectsFactory instance

WebObjectsFactory factory = WebObjectsFactory.getInstance();

factory.getIServerSession().setSessionID(sessionID);

//Get the Report Source from the factory

WebReportSource reportSource = factory.getReportSource();

//Use the Report Source to retrieve the Web Report instance corresponding to the given messageID and stateID

WebReportInstance reportInstance = reportSource.getInstance(messageID, stateID);

//Get the drill instance for the report instance

WebDrillInstance drillInstance = reportInstance.getDrillInstance();

//Load the drill actions that correspond to the drillPathID

drillInstance.loadActionsFromDrillPath(drillPathID);

//Perform the drilling and gets the new report instance

WebReportInstance newReportInstance = drillInstance.drill();

} catch(WebObjectsException e) { Log.logger.log(Level.ERROR, e.getMessage);}
