The ${ExtractStore.Name} provides Data summarization and is a reporting tool. This facilitates Counts, Totals, Averages and Comparisons of Data extraction from Centric 8. Additionally, the ${ExtractStore.Name} also charts the presented Data.

To define ${ExtractStore.Name}

1. Mouse-over ${Actions} and select ${New} ${ExtractStore.Name}.
2. In the ${New} ${ExtractStore.Name} dialog box, click on Browse to select the Query XML. Click on ${Save}.
   

The components of a Slicer Store are as follows:

• Extract Store: A unique name in the system that identifies the Slicer Store and defines the type of C8 Node that will be extracted by slicer.
  
• Query: Defines the Query to filter the nodes identified by Type in ExtractStore.
  
• Classifier Definitions: Defines the Centric 8 attributes that are to be extracted.
• Metric Definitions: Defines the data that is required to be aggregated by the Extract Store job for providing the numbers for analysis by the Slicer.
  

EXAMPLES:

Extract Store:
 
<ExtractStore StoreName="ReviewQuestions" Type="ORQuestion">

Query: 
 
<QUERY>
              <AND>
              <Node Parameter="Type" Op="EQ" Value="ORQuestion" />
              <Attribute
               Id="State" Path="Child:__Parent__/Child:__Parent__/Child:__Parent__"                  
                     Op="NE"
                     SValue="OperationsReviewState:Draft" />
              </AND>
              </QUERY>

Classifier Definitions: 

<ClassifierDef Key="" Id="" Path="" Type=""/>

Metric Definitions:
 
<MetricDef Key="" Id="" Function="" Path="" Type="" />
 
On successful upload of a slicer store definition, an Extract job is automatically created and displayed on the Job Service tab. This extract job:

• Is required to be executed manually for the first time after uploading the slicer store definition
• Can be scheduled (like any other Centric 8 job)
• Can be executed manually to initiate extraction of data at any time by specifying the Due Date in the past

NOTE:

1. During the extraction process, the Extract Store is not available for reporting, i.e. the slicer views and the dashboard reports which feed off the Extract store is unavailable to users.
2. The extraction is incremental in nature and will look for changes in Centric 8 on the Extract Store node type since its last execution.

For changes to be reflected within the C8 application , from the main menu bar, select Actions > Update Configuration.
