Interface of the Financial Consolidation Server

This section describes the interface of the Financial Consolidation Server. The interface is used by the scripts of the Application Studio reports to start the server-side consolidation.

The interface is based on the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM). Most of the functions require the language as a parameter, which must be passed to enable output of error messages or other information in the correct language. Possible language values are the languages that are supported by Financial Consolidation.

Each call of a Financial Consolidation Server function expects the parameter xmlConnectionInfo. This parameter contains XML code in this format:

<session-info>
    <user>Admin</user>
    <repository>MIS Consolidation</repository>
    <project>Consolidation</project>
    <ticket>+++COS+++0001cUIkkvnZJtyuB…</ticket>
    <server>http:\\localhost:8081</server>
    <database>Unsecured: localhost/Consolidation</database>
</session-info>

Value	Description
repository	Name of the repository
project	Name of the project in the specified repository
server	Name of the OLAP server
user	User name to log on
ticket	A valid repository logon ticket. In the standard reports this is retrieved from Application Studio.
database	The OLAP database name

Application Studio provides a function to retrieve this XML structure for any OLAP alias in the report catalog.
