It is possible to load raw data into QPR ProcessAnalyzer and do the data transformation and loading into QPR ProcessAnalyzer Service via Load Scripts using temporary database tables, so that the resulting transformed data can be used for analyses in QPR ProcessAnalyzer.

A user with the ManageIntegrations and RunScripts permissions can define a Load Script in the Model Properties dialog. The Load Script consists of SQL statements and QPR ProcessAnalyzer commands that take the preceding SQL statements as parameters.

Supported QPR ProcessAnalyzer Commands in Load Scripts

--#GetAnalysis

Creates an analysis from the data which the preceding SQL statements given as parameters provide. The analysis parameters have to be defined in the SQL SELECT statements as follows:
SELECT '<Analysis Parameter>', '<Value>'
See Analysis Parameters for a list of supported analysis parameters in QPR ProcessAnalyzer.
The --#GetAnalysis command supports the following analysis types:
Case Analysis (5)
Event Analysis (6)
Event Type Analysis (7) Note: analysis is in table format only.
Variation Analysis (8) Note: analysis is in table format only.
User Report (11)
OperationLog Analysis (12)
Flow Analysis (13)
Influence Analysis (14)
Integration Table Analysis (18)

--#ImportEvents

Loads Events from the data which the preceding SQL statements given as parameters provide.

--#ImportCaseData

Loads Case Attributes from the data which the preceding SQL statements given as parameters provide.

--#RemoveEvents

Removes all events in the model, but retains Cases, Event Types, and Variations.

--#WriteLog

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

SQL Command Support

When transforming data, only temporary tables (#) should be used. Note that global temporary tables (##) should never be used in the SQL scripts, and using them is not allowed.

Terminating Load Scripts

A Load Script can be terminated by the following ways:

  • The user running the script can click the Cancel button when the script is running.
  • A QPR ProcessAnalyzer Administrator user can terminate the script via the Operations Log.
  • The SQL Server System Administrator can kill the session using the script by using e.g. SQL Server Management Studio.
  • The Internet Information Services Administrator can recycle the application pool if the Load Script has caused it to hang. Note however, that this may also cause other requests by other users being processed at the same time to be aborted.
  • The Windows Administrator can kill the w3wp.exe-process processing a problematic script. Note however, that this may also cause other requests by other users being processed at the same time to be aborted.

NOTE!
Terminating the Load Script will not revert any changes the script has already done in the database before the Cancel button is clicked.

Example Load Scripts

Example Load Script: Create a copy of existing model

The following Load Script will:
1. Clear the current contents of the model
2. Select all events from another model defined with ViewId = 1234567. (note: change this Id to be an Id from the default Filter (previously called View) of the source model:

  • AnalysisType 6 => Event Table
  • MaximumCount 0 => Retrieve all events from the model
  • ViewId 1234567 => CHANGE THIS to be the Filter ID / ViewId of the source model from which you want to make a copy
  • SelectedEventAttributes * => Get all Event Attributes
  • TargetTable #AnalysisResult => Store the result into a temporary SQL table named #AnalysisResult
  • #GetAnalysis => Execute the query (stores the result into #AnalysisResult)

3. Import all events to the current model (#ImportEvents)

4. Select all case attributes from the source model (defined with ViewId = 1234567)

  • AnalysisType 5 => Case Table
  • MaximumCount 0 => Retrieve all cases from the model
  • ViewId 1234567 => CHANGE THIS to be the Filter ID / ViewId of the source model from which you want to copy case attributes
  • SelectedCaseAttributes * => Get all Case Attributes
  • TargetTable #AnalysisResult2 => Store the result into a new temporary SQL table named #AnalysisResult2
  • #GetAnalysis => Execute the query (stores the result into #AnalysisResult)

5. Import all case attributes to the current model (#ImportCaseData)

--#RemoveEvents

(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '6') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') UNION ALL

The following Load Script will:
1. Clear the current contents of the model
2. Select all events from another model defined with ViewId = 1234567. (note: change this Id to be an Id from the default Filter (previously called View) of the source model:

=> Select those event type that should be combined and use the new EventType name for them
=> This example replaces 'Sales Order' and 'Shipment' with new EventType name 'COMBINED'

  • UNION ALL => Use this statement to build the events from several sub queries
  • SELECT [Case], [Event Type], [Start Time] FROM [#AnalysisResult] WHERE [Event Type] NOT IN ( 'Sales Order', 'Shipment')

=> Select all other Event Types and include them as they are, ie. no change to these events

--#RemoveEvents

(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '6') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'ViewId', '1234567') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'SelectedEventAttributes', '*') UNION ALL

=> Create the new EventType by combining original Event Type, a string '_' and event attribute SAP_User

--#RemoveEvents

(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '6') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'ViewId', '1234567') UNION ALL

Example Load Script: calculate the amount of events within same case with same timestamp

The following Load Script will:
1.. Select all events from another model defined with ViewId = 1234567. (note: change this Id to be an Id from the default Filter (previously called View) of the source model:

  • #GetAnalysis => Execute the query (stores the result into #AnalysisResult)

2. Calculate the amount of events within same case with same timestamp SELECT count(*) FROM [#AnalysisResult] AS AR1, [#AnalysisResult] AS AR2 => Return the count(*) as the result of the query WHERE AR1.[Case] = AR2.[Case] AND AR1.[Event Type] <> AR2.[Event Type] AND AR1.[Start Time] = AR2.[Start Time] => Case & Start Time are same in both events, Event Type is different --#WriteLog => show the result to user


(SELECT 'AnalysisType', '6') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'MaximumCount', '0') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'ViewId', '10') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'SelectedEventAttributes', '*') UNION ALL
(SELECT 'TargetTable', '#AnalysisResult')

WHERE AR1.[Case] = AR2.[Case] AND AR1.[Event Type] <> AR2.[Event Type] AND AR1.[Start Time] = AR2.[Start Time]
--#WriteLog

Example Load Script: Create a new model from operation log

The following Load Script will read the operation log of QPR ProcessAnalyzer and create process model based on those log entries. Comments: - AnalysisType 12 => Operation Log - MaximumCount 10000 => Retrieve only the 10000 most recent operations
