Viewing information about data services
One function of the App Builder Repository is to provide basic information
about the data services stored there.
To view this basic information about a data service, open the App Builder Repository and select the Data Services tab.
This table lists and describes the information you can view:
| Column | Description/Notes |
|---|---|
| Check box | The first column contains only check boxes. Use these check
boxes to select data services for further action. To select (or deselect) all of the data services on the page, select the check box in the header row. |
| Name | This column lists the data services by name. To sort the list alphabetically by Name, click the up or down arrow next to the column label. |
| Author | This column displays the App Builder user name for the individual who created
the data service and placed it in the Repository. To sort the list alphabetically by Author, click the up or down arrow next to the column label. |
| Created | This column displays the date that each data service was created. To sort the list chronologically by creation date, click the up or down arrow next to the column label. |
| Description | This column displays the description of the data service, if any, that was provided by the author. |
| Suite context | This column displays the product line, or "suite", used to create the data service. This is determined when the data service is first created and cannot be changed. |
| Action | To test the data service (usually before deciding whether you want to use it), click . This action launches the Test Data Service dialog box, which typically prompts you for input parameters required to test the data service and then displays the appropriate output parameters. |
