Frequently Asked Questions

I can't see certain pages logged in as admin

You need a user with the role data-explorer-search-role to search, or data-explorer-wizard-role to create queries and views. An admin user typically does not have those roles. Note that these are enforced by explicit checks for sub-roles which are required, which is why admin does not work.

A database not appear in the wizard dropdown

Only databases with Application Servers appear in the dropdown. This avoids having modules, triggers and other infrastructure databases clutter the wizard dropdown.

My reports are empty or missing data

This is likely a security issue. If you user does not have roles to see the data, it will all be invisible. The Data Explorer tool cannot know your databases security scheme.

The exception is the built-in test data set (farmers market records) loaded via the loadDemoData java task. This data set is loaded with a read permission for data-explorer-data-role, making it immediately visible to the search-user and wizard-user users that are deployed with the tool by default. Otherwise, you need to set up a user that has data-explorer- roles AND has roles to see your data.

It is also possible that your sample record used to define the queries has element names (XML local names or XML namespaces) that do not match the data in the database.

Formats Supported

Currently, XML and JSON are supported. Both RDF and configuration based associations planned.
