OlapViewModel - Manipulating Data at Runtime

Topic Overview

Purpose

This topic provides a conceptual overview of how to manipulate data at runtime for those controls using the OlapViewModel.

In this topic

This topic contains the following sections:

OlapViewModel Limitations

Limitations

To record AddPivotItem action on the OlapViewModel , first you need to interact with one of the following four control areas :

  • Measures

  • Rows

  • Columns

  • Filters

Recording the AddPivotItem action is always from the xamPivotDataSelector even if adding the item to another control for instance, xamPivotGrid . Hence, you need to ensure that you click on any of the four areas mentioned above so that you are able to record AddPivotItem action.

OlapViewModel Recordable and Replayable Methods Summary

Methods summary chart

The following table briefly explains the recordable and replayable methods for testing the control. Additional information about each method is available following the table.

Legend:

– Record in UFT (default)
replay.png 
– Replay in UFT (using script)
Method Action Description
record.png

Adds the pivot item from the xamPivotDataSelector ’s dimensions tree to the control’s target area.
replay.png

Obtains the pivot item (tree node) from its identifier and the target area from its name, and then adds the pivot item at the specified target index, to the target area.

If the target index is not specified, the item is added to the end of the target area’s existing collection.
record.png

Moves the pivot items in the control, for example, exchanging columns and rows.
replay.png

Obtains:

  • The source area using its name

  • The pivot item from the source via its identifier

  • The target area from its name.

Then moves the pivot item to the target area at the specified target index (if any). If the target index is not specified, the item is moved to the end of the existing target area collection.

Removes the pivot items from the control by dragging the item using the left mouse button and dropping outside of the item’s area or by closing them using the close button.
replay.png

Obtains the source area from its name, the pivot item from the source via its identifier and then removes the item.

Opens the pivot item’s filter dialog in the control’s source area.

Obtains the source area from its name, the pivot item from the source via its identifier and then opens that item’s filter dialog.

Closes the pivot item’s filter dialog in the control’s source area.

Obtains the source area from its name, the pivot item from the source via its identifier and then closes that item’s filter dialog.

AddPivotItem method

Description

Storing a pivot item’s identifier that is added (Tree node identifier), the target area name and the target index where the item is added.

Parameters

The following table explains the method’s parameters followed by code example.

Method parameter Description

oPivotItemId

Identifier of the IOlapViewModel’s pivot item. This can be the IOlapViewModel’s pivot item header caption, index, array of headers, and indices (Dimensions tree node).

oTargetPivotAreaName

Identifies the name of the IOlapViewModel’s target area where the pivot item needs to be added or moved.

iTargetIndex

Index of the IOlapViewModel’s target area where the pivot item needs to be added.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add a tree node with header = “Child1” under the root node with header = “Root” to the target area with rows at target index of 1.

XamPivotGrid("xamPivotGrid1").AddPivotItem Array(“Root”, “Child1”), pvtRows, 1

The following example demonstrates how to add a child tree node at index 2 under the root node at index 0 to the target area with measures at target index of 0.

XamPivotGrid("xamPivotGrid1").AddPivotItem Array(0,2), pvtMeasures, 0

The following example demonstrates how to add a root tree node at index 2 to the target area with filters at target index of 2.

XamPivotGrid("xamPivotGrid1").AddPivotItem 2, pvtFilters, 2

The following example demonstrates how to add a root tree node with header=”Root2” to the target area with columns at the end of the existing collection.

XamPivotGrid("xamPivotGrid1").AddPivotItem “Root2”, pvtColumns

Possible exceptions

The following table lists the possible exceptions for the method and the reason that is likely to be causing them.

Exception name Possible reason

Incorrect item format

The pivot item ID is not of the correct format.

Item not found

Cannot find the pivot item (tree node).

Invalid target

The target area is not one of the valid options (Filters, Rows, Columns or Measures).

Invalid operation

Cannot add the pivot item to the specified target area since you can only add certain items to certain areas.

Index is out of range

The target index is out of range.

MovePivotItem method

Description

Storing the moved pivot item’s source area name and identifier, along with the target area name and the target index where the item is moved.

Parameters

The following table explains the method’s parameters followed by code example.

Method parameter Description

oSourcePivotAreaName

Identifies the IOlapViewModel source area’s name where the pivot item needs removing.

oPivotItemId

Identifies the IOlapViewModel’s pivot item. This can be the pivot item’s header caption or index within the IOlapViewModel source area.

oTargetPivotAreaName

Identifies the IOlapViewModel target area’s name where the pivot item needs inserting.

iTargetIndex

Index of the IOlapViewMode target area where the pivot item needs inserting.

Example

The following example shows how to move the, “Sales” pivot item from the source area (Columns) to target area (Rows) at a target index of 1.

XamPivotGrid("xamPivotGrid1").MovePivotItem  pvtColumns, “Sales”, pvtRows, 1

The following example shows how to move the, “Sales measures” pivot item from the source area (Measures) to target area (Measures) within the same area at a target index of 2.

XamPivotGrid("xamPivotGrid1").MovePivotItem  pvtMeasures, “Sales measures”, pvtMeasures, 2

The following example shows how to move the pivot item at index 3 from the source area (Rows) to target area (Filters) at a target index of 2.
