Hi,
Very impressed with the Exhibit (and Timeline) functionality. Was
quickly able to pull a couple of simple mock-ups together. However,
trying to take it to the next level, I'm hitting a roadblock. Maybe
I'm too steeped in RDBMS/SQL mindset :-)
What I'm trying to do is represent basic one-to-many data in an
Exhibit. My example is "Server Environments" (think Production, Test,
Development, etc) and "Services" (think DB Instance A, DB Instace B,
Test Framework, Code Repository, etc). Some of the services have URLs
and some don't.
What I want to do is present the "Server Environments" (filterable and
sortable as Exhibit does so well) but include (think indented) the
"Services" and URLs (where appropriate).
I can get the "standard" Tabular view to display the list of "Server
Environments" with "Services" (aka,"child records") using the dot-
notation. However, that's very limiting since it simply concatenates
them. Once I try to get "fancy with the formatting", all hell breaks
loose. Given the capabilities of the tool, I'd be very surprised if
I'm trying to do something it can't.
Perhaps I have the wrong mental model for the JSON file? (A couple of
snippets below.)
{
type:"Environment",
sid:"PRODWDCF",
label:"Classic Production",
envlocation:"PSC",
},
{
type:"Service",
envid:"PRODWDCF",
svrid:"ace2050.central",
label:"SOLARIS",
svcversion:"8 117350-54",
svcupdate:"08/09/2008",
},
{
type:"Service",
envid:"PRODWDCF",
svrid:"wdprod-be1.central",
label:"OA FRAMEWORK",
svcversion:"11.5.10.6RUP + PATCH 6841295",
svcupdate:"08/02/2008",
svcurl:"http://oraclecfgsvcbe.central.sun.com:9200/";,
},
Perhaps I'm not understanding the way Exhibit does "joins"?
Using the above, I tried things like:
.sid!envid.svcurl
but I was getting what appeared to be some sort of cartesian product
with other URLs that weren't children of this environment.
BTW, I've looked at all the online help, and I'm still not getting it.
Suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thx,
- Mark
