API for Discoverer Folder Consolidation

Avatar photoCustomer August 20, 2024 at 9:57 pm

We prefer importing Discoverer based on folder combinations rather than individual worksheets for consolidation. Is there an API for this folder import type?

      Yes, you use the PLSQL procedure **`xxen_api.import_discoverer_folders`**. This option consolidates different workbooks that access the same folders into single Blitz Reports.

      When importing folders, how do I control whether underlying database view SQLs are imported as subqueries or just referenced?

      You control this using the `p_expand_custom_view_sqls` parameter. Options include ‘All’ (for full expansion), ‘Custom’ (for views starting with XX% or custom application short names), or ‘none’.

      What is the benefit of expanding views into subqueries?

      Expansion simplifies maintenance, as the SQL can be modified directly in the Blitz Report form instead of requiring database view recompilation.
