 Validate Report Data page

Field or Control

Description

Run Mode

Select one of three options:

  • Batch (Application Engine)

  • Real Time (PeopleCode)

  • Script (Data Mover)

The Run Mode determines how the SQL statements are applied.

Script Location

Enter the location of the script. Data Mover can execute the script only if you selected Script (Data Mover) in Run Mode. Otherwise the generated scripts can be used to debug the SQL statements.

Function and Parameter

Enter the functions and parameter that the system will use to select data for the report. For example, by entering SELCAL/CALGRPID you can then select which calendar group ID data to use in the report. Defined values are listed in the expandable Functions and Parameters group box.

Note: You can also create user-defined functions and parameters to use in the input filter.

Type

Indicate the field type of the Parameter. Select either Char, Date, Numeric, or SQL.

Character Value

Enter the value of the Function or Parameter.

Create Scripts

Click to create a .dms containing the SQL statements and to display them on the page. The script includes a list of parameters used to generate the statements. If a parameter is not used in the process (because of a syntax error or a missing definition) the words "Not used" appear in the list.

Validate Report Data

Select this option to validate the report data. The process used depends on your Run Mode selection:

  • Batch (Application Engine): The system launches an Application Engine that runs the process in batch mode via process scheduler.

  • Real Time (PeopleCode): The system launches a PeopleCode function that runs the process in real-time.

  • Script (Data Mover): The system launches a Data Mover process that runs the process in batch mode via process scheduler.
