DataCacheSpecification class

DataCacheSpecification

Represents a DataCache specification.

Constructors

• () - Instanciate an existing instance using the current context datacache
  
• (int ResourceId "Resource Id of the DataCache") - Instanciate an existing instance using the resource id of a datacache
  
• (string ResourceName "Resource name of the new DataCache", array Questionnaire Ids "List of Questionnaires to use in the creation. Must all belong to same template") - Create a new datacache using quick setup
  

Methods

• Empty AddFilter(string filterQuestionLabel "Question to apply filter to. If empty, then clear current filters", string filterValue "Value of the filter") - Add a filter to the DataCache
  
• bool AddQuestionnaire(int questionnaireResourceId "Questionnaire to add") - Add another questionnaire to the datacache. Return false if already added
  
• array CreateAllColumnsForAllQuestions(int questionnaireResourceId "Set the associated questionnaire. Set to 0 to use primary questionnaire") - Find and create all column for all questions. They still need to be saved individually to be added.
  
• array CreateAllColumnsForQuestion(string question "QuestionLabel for the question you want all the dcs columns for", int questionnaireResourceId "Set the associated questionnaire. Set to 0 to use primary questionnaire") - Find and create all column for a given question. They still need to be saved individually to be added.
  
• object EvalWhere(string whereExpression "The expression to execute. It must contain 'where' and NOT start with a equal sign, and have 1 and only one semicolon in it") - Evaluate a single where expression up against the current DataCache
  
• Dictionary EvalWhere(Dictionary whereExpressions "The expressions to execute. They must contain 'where' and MAY start with a equal sign, and have 1 and only one semicolon in it") - Evaluate a number of where expressions up against the current DataCache. If there are 2 or more expressions, the result is cached. Context weight and filters are ignored.
  
• Dictionary EvalWhere(Dictionary whereExpressions "The expressions to execute. They must contain 'where' and MAY start with a equal sign, and have 1 and only one semicolon in it", string weight "Column name of the weight to use in filter") - Evaluate a number of where expressions up against the current DataCache using a weight. If there are 2 or more expressions, the result is cached. Context weight and filters are ignored.
  
• Dictionary EvalWhere(Dictionary whereExpressions "The expressions to execute. They must contain 'where' and MAY start with a equal sign, and have 1 and only one semicolon in it", string weight "Column name of the weight to use in filter", string filters "Extra filters that apply to all where expressions") - Evaluate a number of where expressions up against the current DataCache using a weight. If there are 2 or more expressions, the result is cached. Context weight and filters are ignored.
  
• Dictionary EvalWhere(Dictionary whereExpressions "The expressions to execute. They must contain 'where' and MAY start with a equal sign, and have 1 and only one semicolon in it", string weight "Column name of the weight to use in filter", string filters "Extra filters that apply to all where expressions", string freeTextFilters "Extra free text search filters that apply to all where expressions") - Evaluate a number of where expressions up against the current DataCache using a weight. If there are 2 or more expressions, the result is cached. Context weight and filters are ignored.
  
• Empty MakeContext() - Make the current DataCache the context DataCache
  
• Empty Reset() - Reset to initial quick setup
  
• Empty Save() - Save the DataCache
  
• string ToString() - The string representation of the object.

Examples

Ex1:

DCS_use(37244952); // set DCS context
string e1 = "count() where S_Age == [1] && M_Travel == [1,2];";
Dictionary d =
{
 "exp1": "count() where S_Age == [1] && M_Travel == [1,2];",
 "exp2": "count() where S_Age == [2] && M_Travel == [1];"
};
print(DCS_evaluateWhereExpression(e1)); // 68
DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(); // Represent a DCS which is used as current DCS context
print(dcs.EvalWhere(e1)); // 68
print(dcs.EvalWhere(d)); // {"exp1": 68, "exp2": 46}

Ex2:

string e1 = "count() where S_Age == [1] && M_Travel == [1,2];";
Dictionary d =
{
 "exp1": "count() where S_Age == [1] && M_Travel == [1,2];",
 "exp2": "count() where S_Age == [2] && M_Travel == [1];"
};
DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(37244952); // Represents a DCS which has Resource Id: 37244952
print(dcs.EvalWhere(e1)); // 68
print(dcs.EvalWhere(d)); // {"exp1": 68, "exp2": 46}
dcs.MakeContext(); // or you can use DCS_use(RID) instead
print(DCS_evaluateWhereExpression(e1)); // without the previous statement (dcs.MakeContext();), you will get error at this line because there is no DCS context is set, so you can not use DCS_evaluateWhereExpression(e1)
dcs.Partly = false; // Not include the partly completed QASs
dcs.NotStarted = false; // Not include the not started QASs
dcs.Save(); // Must save to make the above statements applied on DCS, but this statement does not REBUILD the DCS

Ex 3:

ProfilingResult pr;
DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(12006923); 
pr = dcs.ProfileFromLastEval;
pr.EnableProfiling = true;
dcs.EvalWhere({
 "ex1": "count() where true"
});

print(pr.CompileTime); // 0.1694
print(pr.CountResult); // {"5": {"2": 1}, "9": {"4": 1}} 
print(pr.DependencyGraphTime); // 0
print(pr.TimeResult); // {"10": {"-1": 0.0158, "4": 0.0158}, "11": {"-1": 0.0021, "4": 0.0021}, "5": {"-1": 1.1024, "2": 1.1024}, "9": {"-1": 0.0063, "4": 0.0063}}
print(pr.WhereExpTime); // 0

Ex 4:

DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(15517146);

array questionColumns = dcs.CreateAllColumnsForQuestion("Q1",0); //Create new column(s) for a question and use primary questionnaire 

for(number i= 0; i < questionColumns.Count; i++){
 questionColumns[i].Save(); //or method .Delete() in case removing column from dcs
}
dcs.Save(); //Must save to make the above statements applied on DCS, but this statement does not REBUILD the DCS
print(dcs.ColumnNames);

Ex 5:

DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(15517146);

array questionColumns = dcs.CreateAllColumnsForAllQuestions(15517148); //Create ALL columns for ALL questions.Set to 0 to use primary questionnaire

for(number i= 0; i < questionColumns.Count; i++){
 questionColumns[i].Save();
}
dcs.Save(); //Must save to make the above statements applied on DCS, but this statement does not REBUILD the DCS
print(dcs.ColumnNames);

Ex 6:

DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(15558382);
dcs.AddQuestionnaire(15558383);
dcs.Save();

Ex 7: Using freeTextFilters on EvalWhere

DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(15557696);
Dictionary d ={
	"exp": "selectColumn(Id) where true;"
};
string freeTextFilters  = "UserId: [39149 TO 47878]";
dcs.EvalWhere(d,"","",freeTextFilters);
