DQL SDK document

ARF_UK
Level 2

I'm working on Veritas Data Insight Version 5.1.1.8050

The help file states:  “For more information about creating DQL queries, see the Veritas Data Insight SDK Programmer's Guide.”

 The most up-to-date copy of this document that I can find (via google) is a Symantec branded document version 4.0 dated June 2013.  Is there a more up to date one? 

Specifically I’m interested in whether I can extract the file group (not just the extension) from queries on path.  At the moment I’m extracting the extension and converting to file group in excel, but there must be a better way.  The SDK document I have (2013) has a section on DQL Objects/Tables, but it doesn't reference file groups.  I'm wondering if the set of available objects/tables has changed since the date of the doc.

According to this doc: https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Articles/New-DQL-templates-in-Data-Insight-5-1/ta-p/810206
the info seems to be contained in Veritas Data Insight 5.1 User’s Guide.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks.  Marianne2 

Nearly there, but not quite.  The SDK document contains a description of all the objects and attributes available for reporting (ie a schema of sorts).   There's no such list in the user guide.

I'm making progress, though.

Best to log a Support call at this stage and request this documentation as this info does not seem to be available with rest of Data Insight documentation on SORT: https://sort.veritas.com/documents

 

Thanks, Marianne.  I'm progressing it via channels from work (which will eventually result in a support call.  I was just hoping for a short cut answer here ;)

Thanks for your help

Hi, 

You can find a most recent publication of SDK on SORT, or in zip file when you download Datainsight 6.0.

Concerning filegroups, I extract information from "filegroup" column in path table, and then I used SQL query to format the result. here a sample of what I do. The report produces a listing containing Volume and number of files for known and unknown filegroups

 

FROM path
GET basename, filegroups, extension, size
IF type="FILE"
FORMAT filegroups AS TABLE filegroups
SORTBY filegroups

/* SQL query *//

CREATE TABLE path_MB(path_rowid INTEGER, filegroups TEXT, no_files INTEGER, size_MB INTEGER);
INSERT INTO path_MB
SELECT a.path_rowid, b.filegroups, COUNT(a.basename), ROUND(sum(a.size)/1048576.0, 2) 
  FROM path a, filegroups b
  WHERE a.path_rowid=b.path_rowid
  AND a.extension!=''
  GROUP BY b.filegroups
UNION
SELECT a.path_rowid,'Unclassified File Group', COUNT (a.basename), ROUND(SUM(a.size)/1048576.0, 2) 
  FROM path a
  WHERE a.extension=''
