Insight Functions
Insight functions provide the syntax and descriptions of the classes, methods, attributes, and parameters of the application programming interface to the Insight tool in Data Studio suite of tools. Generation of insight is performed in background and requires checking for the completion.
Returns the list of request names and their parameters
Syntax
Insight.get_request_list(owner)
Parameters:
- owner: This field displays the owner of the object. If this field is missing, the tool uses the current schema owner.
Example
In this example, you can list jobs of insights:
adp.Insight.get_request_list()
// Output
[
...
{
"owner": "ADMIN",
"request_name": "REQUEST_INSIGHT_1",
"request_type": "TABLE_INSIGHT",
"source_object": "SALES",
"source_owner": "ADMIN",
"request_metadata": "{\"targets\":[\"ACTUAL\"],\"appName\":\"INSIGHTS\"}",
"created": "2022-10-31T08:03:26.634Z",
"updated": "2022-10-31T08:03:26.634Z",
"request_job_setting": "{\"EXTRACTION\":{\"selectionRule\":{\"value\":\"MAX_DIFFERENCE\"},\"fittedShareConvergence\":{\"value\":\"LAX\"},\"maxNumExtractionDims\":{\"value\":10000},\"insightValueType\":{\"value\":\"MEMBER\"},\"excludeZero\":{\"value\":\"YES\"},\"minXAxisCount\":{\"value\":2}},\"sessionId\":null,\"applicationName\":\"INSIGHTS\",\"insightTypes\":[\"FITTED_SHARE_COMPARISON\"]}",
"max_num_insights": 20
},
...
]
Get Insight List ProcedureReturns the list of insights. Each insight has the following fields: insight_name, visualization_id, insight_column, insight_value, insight_dimension, dimension
Syntax
Insight.get_insights_list(request_name)
Parameters:
- request_name: The name of the request.
Example
In this example, you can list insights:
adp.Insight.get_insights_list('REQUEST_INSIGHT_1')
// Output:
[
{
"insight_name": "INSIGHT_62",
"visualization_id": 199,
"insight_column": "ACTUAL",
"insight_value": "COUNTRY.2",
"insight_dimension": "COUNTRY",
"dimension": "FORECST"
},..
]
Drop Insight ProcedureDrop insight request
Insight.drop(request_name)
Parameters:
- request_name: The name of the request.
Example
adp.Insight.drop('REQUEST_INSIGHT_1')
Generate insight of the measure for the Analytic view.
Syntax
Insight.generate(av_name, measure, job_owner,
source_owner)
Parameters:
- av_name: The name of the Analytic View.
- measure: The measure.
- job_owner: This field displays the owner of the job. If this field is missing, the tool uses the current schema owner.
- source_owner: This field displays the owner of the object. If this field is missing, the tool uses the current schema owner.
Example
adp.Insight.generate('COSTS_AV', 'UNIT_COST')
// Output
{
"object_owner": "ADMIN",
"request_name": "REQUEST_INSIGHT_1",
"max_insight_count": 20,
"source_object": "COSTS_AV",
"source_owner": "COSTS_AV",
"request_metadata": "{\"targets\":[\"UNIT_COST\"],\"appName\":\"INSIGHTS\"}",
"default_job_settings": "{\"insightTypes\":[\"FITTED_SHARE_COMPARISON\"]}",
"new_request": "true"
}
Get the status of the job specified be Request Name. The generation of insights is finished when field insight_job_status is COMPLETED.
Syntax
Insight.get_job_status(request_name, owner)
Parameters:
- request_name: The name of Request.
- owner: This field displays the owner of the object. If this field is missing, the tool uses the current schema owner.
Example
In this example, you can display job status:
adp.Insight.get_job_status('REQUEST_INSIGHT_1')
// Output
{
"insight_job_status": "COMPLETED",
"progress_msg": " ",
"error_msg": null
}
Get Graph Details ProcedureReturns json dictionary of data that may be plotted.
Results consists of two fields:
item contains overall information from the insight: description, XAXIS, measure, insight_type_label, visualization_condition, source_object
query contains information for plotting and has three lists: labels, actuals and estimates
Insight.get_graph_details(name, id, count, query_manipulation,
owner)
Parameters:
- name: The name of the Insight.
- id: The visualization id.
- count: number of displayed values
- query_manipulation: If it is not None, add cursor type and grand totals fields to the query.
- owner: This field displays the owner of the object. If this field is missing, the tool uses the current schema owner.
Example
In this example, you can get data to plot the graph:
adp.Insight.get_graph_details("INSIGHT_62", 199, 5, True)
Output:
{
"items": {
"description": "COUNTRY.2",
"XAXIS": "FORECST",
"measure": "ACTUAL",
"insight_type_label": "Expected",
"visualization_condition": "COUNTRY.2",
"source_object": "C0"
},

"01:[66.7-1590]",
"02:[829-2350]",
