Incremental Condition Dialog

The Incremental Condition dialog helps you to specify conditions to filter the incremental data. It appears when you select in the value cell of the Incremental Fetch property of a refresh object in a library component in the Report Inspector.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Add Condition

Adds a condition line.

Delete

Deletes the selected condition line.

Group

Makes the selected conditions in one group.

Ungroup

Makes the selected condition ungrouped.

Up

Moves the selected condition or group up to a higher level.

Down

Moves the selected condition or group down to a lower level.

Field

Specifies the business view element on which the filter condition is based. Select next to the text box to select the business view element.

Operator

Specifies the operator to compose the condition expression.

• =
  Equal to
• >
  Greater than
• >=
  Greater than or equal to
• <
  Less than
• <=
  Less than or equal to
• !=
  Not equal to
• [not] in
  Causes an enumerated list of values which will appear in the WHERE clause predicate to be evaluated for a true condition. For operator "in" or "not in", multiple values separated by comma (,) are allowed.
• [not] like
  Like string pattern matching operator is used to compare the first expression string value to the pattern string (the second expression). If you want to use wildcard character in the pattern string, only "_" and "%" are supported.
• [not] between
  Allows the system to evaluate whether or not data values are located between a range of values indicated in the predicate. For operator "between" or "not between", there are two value text boxes for inputting the same type of values.
• is [not] null
  It is used in WHERE clause predicates to match null values occurring in a specified data field. For operator "is null" or "is not null", the value text box is hidden.

Value

Specifies the value of how to filter the business view element. You can select next to the drop-down list to specify the value, type in the value manually, or select any of the following from the drop-down list.

• MaxExistValue
  If selected, the maximum data value in the specified business view element from the last refresh time will be used as the value to filter the business view element.
• MinExistValue
  If selected, the minimum data value in the specified business view element from the last refresh time will be used as the value to filter the business view element.
• LastRefreshTime
  If selected, the previous refresh time will be used as the value to filter the business view element.
