(ATS4-DEV09) Visualizing SmartLab Data Using the Accelrys Enterprise Platform
0 likes868 views
The document outlines the use of the Accelrys Enterprise Platform for visualizing SmartLab data, including querying methods such as SQL and the new Accelrys Query Service (AQS). It emphasizes the ease of creating interactive reports and dashboards using Pipeline Pilot, which allows users to manipulate and visualize SmartLab data effectively. Additionally, it provides resources for further learning about the technology and reporting capabilities.

- 5. Querying SmartLab Data • Querying data from AEP is possible using two techniques: – Direct SQL queries using the SQL components. – Queries using the new Accelrys Query Service (AQS) and the SmartLab integrated data source (IDS). • Choosing one or another depends on the needs of the end user and the complexity of the application.
- 6. SQL Components • SQL components in AEP rely on an ODBC/JDBC connection to the database. • They execute complex SQL queries and allow for mapping values on incoming data records to query arguments. • Select components shown below. Other components exist that support insert, update and delete operations.
- 7. Accelrys Query Service • AQS is the new query engine in Pipeline Pilot. • Based on the Isentris Data Source Service, but with no dependency on any other Isentris components. • Available as a RESTful interface and a set of Pipeline Pilot components in PP 9.0. • Supports queries expressed in UQL as well as it own XML- represented query language (PP 9.0). • Uses an IDS definition to abstract database complexity.

- 8. Accelrys Query Service Components • Comprehensive set of components available that make most of the RESTful API functionality available to protocol developers. • Can be used to run queries and retrieve results that can then be processed using the whole set of Pipeline Pilot components for analysis, manipulation, reporting. • Easier to use than direct SQL because the queries are constructed against the IDS, which abstracts database complexity. • Enable Pipeline Pilot developers who don’t have database schema knowledge to retrieve the information they desire.

- 10. Building Protocols in Pipeline Pilot • Using either the SQL or the AQS components, SmartLab queries can be executed and data becomes accessible as Pipeline Pilot records. • Any PP components can be used to manipulate the data, calculate properties or create visualizations. • The reporting collection provides components that can generate interactive HTML reports or export the data in other formats (Excel, PDF, PowerPoint) For more information see: (ATS4-DEV05) Pipeline Pilot 9.0 Advanced Protocol Topics
- 11. Interactive Reporting in Pipeline Pilot • Pipeline Pilot reporting collection provides powerful tools for building interactive dashboards: – Standard HTML form elements: text box, checkbox, drop-down, radio button list. – Various charting components. – Data Connector component for connected visualizations. – Protocol links for drill-down from charts, tables and other reporting elements. – Protocol Function component and Dynamic Data Container for AJAX functionality. – JavaScript component for advanced interactivity. For more information see: (ATS4-PLAT07) Interactive Charts Revamped
- 12. Deployment • Pipeline Pilot dashboards can be deployed and accessed in multiple ways: – Web Port – the Pipeline Pilot web client. – Direct HTTP protocol links embedded in other web pages. – Analytics tab in Symyx Notebook 6.6 (SP2 and later) – SharePoint sites. – New protocol REST API. For more information see: (ATS4-DEV04) Protocols as RESTful Services and RESTful URL Routing
