Data Provider – Information 

Definition

Web item that you can use for XML generation of query results data or of the navigation state of a query. The Web item is not visualized in the Web application. You can see the generated XML in the source text for the Web application.

Structure

In addition to its general attributes, the Data Provider Information Web item has the following attributes:

Attribute	Description
Output navigational state (NAVIGATIONAL_STATE)	If you set the indicator for this attribute, the navigational state of the query is output as XML in the source text of the Web application.
Output results data (RESULT_SET)	If you set the indicator for this attribute, the query results are output as XML in the source text of the Web application.

You can generate a description of the navigation state, as well as the amount of results for a query in the form of XML, using the Web service for accessing the query data or with the data provider command EXPORT. See also Web Service for Accessing Query Data and Exporting Data.
