--#Exit

Stops the execution of the script and gives a message to the user. This command takes one SELECT query as its parameter.

Query

Configures the command using a SELECT statement returning two columns: the first column is for a key and the second one is for a value of that key. The values in both the key column and in the value column are of type NVARCHAR. The supported keys for this command are:

'Exit'
Defines whether to stop the script execution:
1 = stop execution of the current script and call the script defined by the RunScriptId parameter if it is given.
0 = if a value for the RunScriptId parameter is given, pause the execution of the current script and call the given script, then resume running the current script after the given script ends. If a value for RunScriptId is not given, do not pause or stop execution of the current script.
'MessageText'
Text to be shown to the user after the script execution is finished if the script finished because of the Exit command, i.e. when Exit=1. The default value is "Script execution finished.", which is shown also when the script finished normally, i.e. when Exit=0. The text is also written to the script log.
'RunScriptId'
Optional. The Id of the script to be run. Can be empty. Note that the script can call itself, so be careful not to create a looping script.
'CatchOperationExceptions'
Optional. Defines whether to stop the script execution or to continue to run the script from the next statement if an exception occurs when running the script:
1 = don't stop execution of the script, continue running the script from the next statement.
0 = stop execution of the current script and show the exception.
The following script variables will be set and are shown in the script log:
@_ExceptionOccurred If there was an exception, then this value is 1, otherwise 0. INT
@_ExceptionType If there was an exception, shows the C# class name for the exception, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionMessage If there was an exception, contains a message that would have been displayed, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionDetails If there was an exception, contains the details that would have been displayed, including the system stack trace, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.

Examples

The Exit command can in effect be used to "call" a script, i.e. run a different script and then return to continue the current script.

(SELECT 'Exit', '0') UNION ALL 
(SELECT 'RunScriptId', '12')   
--#Exit 

The Exit command can also be used to "goto" a script, i.e. stop the execution of the current script and run a different script.

(SELECT 'Exit', '1') UNION ALL  
(SELECT 'RunScriptId', '12')  
--#Exit 

The following example stops the script execution, gives a message, and runs a script with Id 12.

(SELECT 'Exit', '1') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MessageText', 'Data from SAP not valid. Script execution will be terminated. Check source data. Running script Id 12.') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'RunScriptId', '12')
--#Exit

The following example script fragment checks if the previous ProcessAnalyzer command had any exceptions, and if it did, will goto script with Id 2. If the previous command didn't have any exceptions, the script execution is stopped.

DECLARE @ScriptToRun VARCHAR(10)

IF @_ExceptionOccurred = 1 
 SET @ScriptToRun = '2' 
 ELSE SET @ScriptToRun  = ''

(SELECT 'Exit', '1') UNION ALL  
(SELECT 'RunScriptId', @ScriptToRun)  
 --#Exit

--#GetAnalysis

Creates an analysis from the data which the preceding SQL statements given as parameters provide. This command can take several queries, one for every analysis to be performed. These queries and analysis results are independent from one another.

Query

Configures the command using a SELECT statement returning two columns: the first column is for a key and the second one is for a value of that key. The values in both the key column and in the value column are of type NVARCHAR. The supported keys for this command are:

'<Analysis Parameter>'
See Analysis Parameters for a list of supported analysis parameters in QPR ProcessAnalyzer.
The --#GetAnalysis command supports the following analysis types:
Flowchart Analysis (0)
Variation Analysis in the Chart Mode (1)
Path Analysis (3)
Event Type Analysis in the Chart Mode (4)
Case Analysis (5)
Event Analysis (6)
Event Type Analysis in the Table Mode (7)
Variation Analysis in the Table Mode (8)
Duration Analysis (9)
Profiling Analysis (10)
User Report (11)
Operation Log Analysis (12)
Flow Analysis (13)
Influence Analysis (14)
Data Table Analysis (18)
Model Report (21)
Project Report (22)
Data Table Report (23)
Script Report (24)
Note that for the analysis types Model Report, Project Report, Data Table Report and Script Report, the information related to deleted models/projects/data tables/scripts is not shown by default but can be configured with parameters to be shown. For more information, see the parameters 'GetAll', 'IncludeDeletedProjects' and 'DeletedModelsOnly' in the list of analysis parameters.
'TargetTable'
The temporary table to which the analysis is to be stored. Note that only table format analyses can be stored to a temporary table.
You can define the 'TargetTable' when using the following analysis types:
- Case Analysis
- Event Analysis
- Event Type Analysis
- Variation Analysis
- User Permissions
- Operation Log
- Flow Analysis
- Influence Analysis
- Integration Table
- Model Report
- Project Report
- Data Table Report
- Script Report
'Show'
Optional. If TRUE or 1, the analysis is opened after the script is run.
'Title'
Optional. The title for the Excel sheet created when Show is TRUE or 1. Default value is the name of the analysis type.
'SheetName', '<Value>'
Optional. The name of the Excel sheet created when Show is TRUE or 1. Default value is the name of the analysis type.
'CatchOperationExceptions', '<Value>'
Optional. Defines whether to stop the script execution or to continue to run the script from the next statement if an exception occurs when running the script:
1 = don't stop execution of the script, continue running the script from the next statement.
0 = stop execution of the current script and show the exception.
The following script variables will be set and are shown in the script log:
@_ExceptionOccurred If there was an exception, then this value is 1, otherwise 0. INT
@_ExceptionType If there was an exception, shows the C# class name for the exception, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionMessage If there was an exception, contains a message that would have been displayed, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionDetails If there was an exception, contains the details that would have been displayed, including the system stack trace, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.

If this is set to "3", the query result will get the field descriptions from the SAP query using NO_DATA parameter, i.e. the returned columns are the following (in this order): Field, Type, Description, Length, Offset. Default value is "1". Optional. See the SAP .NET Connector documentation for more info.
'SapQueryTable', '<Name>'
Name of the SAP table to be extracted. Specifies the value for the parameter QUERY_TABLE in tab: 'Import' or function module 'rfc_read_table' in SAP. Mandatory.

A comma separated list of WHERE clause elements passed for the SapQueryTable. Can be used with or without the SapWhereClauseSelect parameter. If used together with the SapWhereClauseSelect parameter, use the SapWhereClause parameter first. NOTE: The default maximum length for the Where Clause string is 72 characters in SAP, so the recommended maximum length of the SapWhereClause value is also 72 characters. In effect, specifies the value for parameter OPTIONS in tab: 'Import' or function module 'rfc_read_table' in SAP. Optional. See the SAP .NET Connector documentation for more info.
'SapWhereClauseSelect', '<SELECT query to be executed>'
The SELECT query to be executed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer sandbox. Used with or without the SapWhereClause parameter to pass WHERE clauses to SapQueryTable. If used together with the SapWhereClause parameter, use the SapWhereClause parameter first. The query is expected to return a table with at least one column, as the contents from the rows in the first column of the table are concatenated together to form the WHERE clause in SAP RFC_ReadTable. Therefore, it's recommended to first create the table with the WHERE clauses into a temporary table. In addition, it's recommended to have an order number column in the table and use that in the SELECT query to make sure the WHERE clause elements are concatenated in the correct order. The default maximum length for Where Clause string is 72 characters in SAP, so the recommended maximum length for the WHERE clause string in each row of the table is also 72. In effect, specifies the value for parameter OPTIONS in tab: 'Import' or function module 'rfc_read_table' in SAP. Optional. The contents up to the first 10 rows in the first column of the SELECT query are shown in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Script Log. See the SAP .NET Connector documentation for more info.
'SapFieldNames', '<List>'
A comma separated list of field names for columns to be imported. Default value is empty, resulting in all columns being imported. Specifies the value for parameter FIELDNAME in tab: 'Tables' for table 'FIELDS' for function module 'rfc_read_table' in SAP. Optional. See the SAP .NET Connector documentation for more info.
'SapFunction', '<Value>'
If you define a value for this parameter, then the new value specifies the SAP function that is called inside the #ImportSapQuery command. Optional. The default value is RFC_READ_TABLE. Another possible value is BBP_RFC_READ_TABLE. See the SAP .NET Connector documentation for more info.
Example
The following script will get the "VBELN", "ERDAT", "ERZET", "ERNAM", "NETWR", and "WAERK" columns from the "VBAK" table in a SAP system and put them into a data table named "SapQueryTableExample", and catch exceptions when getting the data.

--#ImportSqlQuery

Extracts data from an ADO.NET source (which in this case is the SQL Server database) and imports it to QPR ProcessAnalyzer Data Table or QPR ProcessAnalyzer temporary table. Column names are parsed from the query result. It is possible to both create new Data Tables as well as modify existing Data Tables with this command.

Parameters

The parameters defined in the SQL SELECT statements in the order they are listed below:

Data Destination

'DataTableId' or 'DataTableName', '<Value>'
The id or the name of the existing/new target data table.
'Append', '<Value>'
Defines what to do with an existing target data table contents. TRUE or any other Integer than "0" = the existing contents in the target data table are not deleted before import, FALSE or "0" = the existing contents of the target data table are deleted before the import. Not used when creating a new data table.
'CatchOperationExceptions', '<Value>'
Optional. Defines whether to stop the script execution or to continue to run the script from the next statement if an exception occurs when running the script:
1 = don't stop execution of the script, continue running the script from the next statement.

SQL Query Parameters

'SqlConnectionString', '<Value>'
The SQL connection string that includes the settings needed to establish the initial connection. Mandatory. See SqlConnection.ConnectionString Property in Microsoft Development Network for more information on the connection parameters.
'SqlQueryString', '<Value>'
The SQL query string. Mandatory. Note that if the query doesn't return any data, the target data table or temporary table is not created.
'ExecuteInClientSide', '<Value>'
Defines whether the command is executed in the client side or in the server side when using QPR ProcessAnalyzer Pro. This parameter is used when there is no server connection available, for example. TRUE or any other Integer than "0" = the import query is executed in the client side. FALSE or "0" = the import query is executed in the server side. Not used with QPR ProcessAnalyzer Xpress or QPR ProcessAnalyzer Database as they always execute the command in the client side. Supports only data table as the import destination. If 'TargetTable' has been defined as the import destination and the value of this parameter is given as TRUE or any other Integer than "0", you will receive an error message. Optional. Default value is FALSE.
Example
The following example will load data from an ADO.NET source (a sample database called DB1 on Microsoft SQL Server) and select all columns from the table EXAMPLE. It will then put that data into the "#TABLE" temporary table, catch exceptions when doing this, and then show the contents of that table.
(SELECT 'SqlConnectionString', 'Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=DB1;Integrated Security=true') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'SqlQueryString', 'SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#TABLE') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'Append', '1') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'CatchOperationExceptions', '1')
--#ImportSqlQuery

(SELECT * FROM #TABLE) 
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') 
--#ShowReport 
Example
The following example will load all the columns from "EXAMPLE" table in SQL Server database and will put that data into the "ExampleDataTable" in the "ExampleProject" project. It will then get the Data Table analysis from the "ExampleDataTable", put that into the "#TABLE" temporary table and then show the contents of that table.
(SELECT 'ProjectName', 'ExampleProject') UNION ALL 
(SELECT 'DataTableName', 'ExampleDataTable') UNION ALL 
(SELECT 'Append', '0') UNION ALL 
(SELECT 'SqlConnectionString', 'Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=DB1;Integrated Security=true') UNION ALL

(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#TABLE') 
--#GetAnalysis 

(SELECT * FROM #TABLE) 
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') 
--#ShowReport 

--#RemoveEvents

Removes all or specified events in the target model, but retains Cases, Event Types, and Variations. This command takes two SELECT queries as parameters.

First Query

Configures the command using a SELECT statement returning two columns: the first column is for a key and the second one is for a value of that key. The values in both the key column and in the value column are of type NVARCHAR. The supported keys for this command are:

'ProjectId' or 'ProjectName'
The id or the name of the project in which the target model exists. Defaults to the current project.
'ModelId' or 'ModelName'
The id or the name of the target model. Defaults to the current model. If ModelId is given, neither ProjectId nor ProjectName are used.
'CatchOperationExceptions'
Optional. Defines whether to stop the script execution or to continue to run the script from the next statement if an exception occurs when running the script:
1 = don't stop execution of the script, continue running the script from the next statement.
0 = stop execution of the current script and show the exception.
The following script variables will be set and are shown in the script log:
@_ExceptionOccurred If there was an exception, then this value is 1, otherwise 0. INT
@_ExceptionType If there was an exception, shows the C# class name for the exception, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionMessage If there was an exception, contains a message that would have been displayed, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionDetails If there was an exception, contains the details that would have been displayed, including the system stack trace, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.

Second Query

The optional database query that returns the event Id's to be removed. Note that if there are several columns in the query, the event Id's have to be in the first column of the query.

Examples

The following example will remove all events in the model with Id "22931" in the project with Id "234".

(SELECT 'ProjectId', '234') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'ModelId', '22931')
--#RemoveEvents

The following example will remove 10 first events from the model by using Event Id's from --#GetAnalysis command.

(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '6') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '10') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'ModelId', '<ModelId>') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'IncludeEventIds', 'True') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#Events')
--#GetAnalysis

(SELECT 'ModelId', '<ModelId>')
(SELECT [Event Id] from [#Events])
--#RemoveEvents

Script Log Results

When the script is run, entries similar to the following will be shown in the script log, if event Id's to be removed had been specified in the query:

Remove events for model id=41 started
Number of events in model (before): 641
Number of events to be removed: 100
Number of events removed: 10
Number of events not found: 90
Number of events in model (after): 631

In the log "Number of events to be removed" refers to the number of values (in this case 100) fetched from the first column of the query so that these values can be converted into numeric format.

In case there are no event Id's specified in the query, the script log will show the following entries:

Remove events for model id=41 started
Number of events in model (before): 621
Remove all events
Number of events in model (after): 0

--#Run

Runs another script with specified parameters. This command can take multiple SELECT queries as parameters.

First Query

Configures the command using a SELECT statement returning two columns: the first column is for a key and the second one is for a value of that key. The values in both the key column and in the value column are of type NVARCHAR. The supported keys for this command are:

'ScriptId'
Mandatory. The Id of the called script.
'CatchOperationExceptions'
Optional. Defines whether to stop the script execution or to continue to run the script from the next statement if an exception occurs when running the script:
1 = don't stop execution of the script, continue running the script from the next statement.
0 = stop execution of the current script and show the exception.
The following script variables will be set and are shown in the script log:
@_ExceptionOccurred If there was an exception, then this value is 1, otherwise 0. INT
@_ExceptionType If there was an exception, shows the C# class name for the exception, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionMessage If there was an exception, contains a message that would have been displayed, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionDetails If there was an exception, contains the details that would have been displayed, including the system stack trace, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.

Next Queries

The next queries are optional and used for initializing the arguments which are passed to the script to be run. The maximum number of arguments is 10. Each argument is created as a temporary table with names #_Arg1, ... #_Arg10. In the created temporary tables, all columns are of the type SQL Variant. If the column names have not been specified, then "Value_0", "Value_1", etc. are used as column names. The possible arguments are as follows:

  • @_Argv - type INT: the number of provided parameters (from 0 to 10)
  • #_Arg1, ... #_Arg10: arguments passed to that script

Each argument exists in the called script until the next --#Run command is executed in that script. After the called script has finished, the main script continues its execution.

Examples

In the following example, the script gets data from two data tables and passes that data to the script with Id equal to <ScriptId>.

(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '18') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'DataTableId', '<DataTableId_1>') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#DataTable1')
--#GetAnalysis

(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '18') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'DataTableId', '<DataTableId_2>') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#DataTable2')
--#GetAnalysis

(SELECT 'ScriptId', '<ScriptId>')
SELECT * FROM #DataTable1;
SELECT * FROM #DataTable2;
--#Run

Then it runs that script with the following parameters: the number of arguments is 2 (that is, @_Argv=2). #_Arg1 takes data from the <DataTableId_1> data table and #_Arg2 from the <DataTableId_2> data table.

print 'Number of arguments: ' + cast(@_Argv as varchar(100));

SELECT * from #_Arg1;
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0')
--#ShowReport

SELECT * from #_Arg2;
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0')

--#ShowReport

Creates a new excel sheet containing a table that contains the results of the user specified SQL query. The result column names are the field names of the SQL query and the rows are the actual data rows of the SQL query. The report can be used to see, for example, the events that would be loaded into QPR ProcessAnalyzer before actually loading them. If the events have problems that cause errors when loaded it is useful to be able to see the row data in a report.
Parameters
The parameters defined in the SQL SELECT statements:
'<data>'
Mandatory. The database query whose results are to be returned.
'<Analysis Parameter>', '<Value>'
Optional. The Analysis Parameters given for the operation. Some suggested parameters to be used:
'Title', '<Title of the report>'
The title of the created report. If not given, "Report" will be used as a default.
'SheetName', '<Name for the sheet>'
The name of the Excel sheet to be created.
'MaximumCount', '<Value>'
The maximum number of rows to show (0 = all, default = 1000).
'CatchOperationExceptions', '<Value>'
Optional. Defines whether to stop the script execution or to continue to run the script from the next statement if an exception occurs when running the script:
1 = don't stop execution of the script, continue running the script from the next statement.
0 = stop execution of the current script and show the exception.
The following script variables will be set and are shown in the script log:
@_ExceptionOccurred: if there was an exception, then this value is 1, otherwise 0. INT
@_ExceptionType: if there was an exception, shows the C# class name for the exception, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionMessage: if there was an exception, contains a message that would have been displayed, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
@_ExceptionDetails: if there was an exception, contains the details that would have been displayed, including the system stack trace, NVARCHAR(MAX), otherwise NULL.
Example
The following example opens the data table identified by data table name "SqlTable" and project name "Test" as a report.
(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '18') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'ProjectName', 'Test') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'DataTableName', 'SqlTable') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#AnalysisResult')
--#GetAnalysis

SELECT * FROM #AnalysisResult; 
(SELECT 'Title', 'Report1') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'SheetName', 'Sheet1') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') 
--#ShowReport 

--#WriteLog

Adds the first column values from the preceding SQL statements to the log that is shown after the whole script execution is completed.

In addition to the WriteLog command, you can also use the Print SQL statement to generate log entries into the script execution log. The difference to the WriteLog command is that the Print statement can use also variables.

Examples

The following example will write "Script started", "Example", "Print Example" into the log.

SELECT 'Script started'
SELECT 'Example'
--#WriteLog
PRINT 'Print Example'
