Query Lifecycle Operations

Once a Query is designed, there are several operations a user can do to maintain the lifecycle of the created query. Some of these operations are directly handled by the tool itself, while the rest through other mediums. Below are the main states once a Query is designed,

Preview Query

After adding attributes from the selected entity(s), a user can populate the designed draft. This functionality fetches data from the database and displays it for the selected attributes.

Preview Function

Save a Query

The query draft can be saved after the query is designed using the Save button. To save the query, the user must provide a mandatory query name and a description. Saving the draft enables features such as publishing and adding it to an Application Configuration Package (ACP).

Publish the Query

Saving a draft will enable the Publish button; clicking on the publish button will publish the query to the database. This will enable features such as utilizing the query through the API explorer and a PL/SQL API.

Synchronize Query

A Synchronize button will be enabled to the user if they make a change and save an already published query.

Unpublish Query

An Unpublish button will be enabled once the query is published to unpublish a saved query from the database. Unpublishing will make the query removable.

Edit/Delete a Query

If the user wishes to edit/delete a query, it can be done by clicking on the Edit Query button or Delete button in the 'Query Overview' page. Navigate to 'Query Overview' page from the Aurena client. To delete a query, the query must be unpublished. Edit/Delete Query in Query Overview Page
