Package com.sap.sl.sdk.authoring.datafoundation Description

This package provides classes to create data foundations and manage objects for editing data foundations.

Data foundations can be either single-source (MonoSourceDataFoundation) or multisource-enabled (MultiSourceDataFoundation).

Elements of the schema that composes a data foundation are represented as objects (tables, columns, views, joins, contexts, keys, parameters, and lists of values).

DataFoundationFactory provides methods to create instances of the following objects:

• Single-source and multisource-enabled data foundations
• Data foundation tables, derived tables and alias tables
• Joins, contexts, and primary keys
• Data foundation views and table views
• Lists of values based on specified values and on a custom SQL expression, with their columns and rows (Lov, SQLQueryLov, and StaticLov)
• Parameters to be used as prompts (Parameter)
• Prompt answers (Answer)
• Values of prompt answers (TypedValue)

DataFoundationService is a helper that you can use to:

• Split a fully qualified table name into an array of strings (owner, qualifier and table name).
• Create a fully qualified table name from the owner, qualifier, and table name strings.
• Detect columns of a list of values based on a custom SQL expression (SQLQueryLov).
• Refresh the structure of a data foundation.

The interfaces also provide methods to:

• Enable SQL options for the data foundation.
• Set and get generic properties of the data foundation objects (name, description, etc.).
• Set and get position, width, and display state of a table in a data foundation view.
• Set and get the SQL expression of a calculated column.
• Set and get table column properties (Nullable, Unsigned, Visible).
• Set and get custom properties of data foundations and parameters.
