Component/Service Descriptions

[Former Member]

Is there documentation regarding components/services? For example, what does this indicate: SAP BOE|WEBI|Report Engine SDK|IDL|com.crystaldecisions.enterprise.ocaframework.idl.OCA.OCAcdz.WICDZServer._WICDZProxy|answerPrompts" ComponentType="SAP BOE" ComponentName="answerPrompts"

Is this a user filling in a promt?

Hi Jason,

The short answer is not yet. In the past, this type of information was internal to engineers and development however, it would definitely be useful for customers to have some basic information on what these functions do in order to better understand what they are looking at inside Wily Investigator. I will be looking into the possibility of documenting this and will let you know.

To directly answer your question, at a high level the answerPrompts() function calls other functions which are responsible for generating the prompt, capturing the response from the user, generating the SQL, and fetching data. After this point, the process flow moves into the report engine in order to finish rendering the report.

Additionally, please consult the [RSC OPERATIONS GUIDE|https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000790752010E] for detailed description of the metrics and KPI found on the BOE dashboards.

Sincerely,

Toby Johnston
