Introduction

MESWeb is a powerful business intelligence application designed from the ground up to simplify reporting from manufacturing execution systems, and empower end users with a streamlined and full-featured web interface. The application includes an ad hoc report design tool that allows users to easily build their own reports and modify existing ones with little to no training. Also, create rich, customized reports from heterogeneous data sources.

Decentralized custom reports, redundant data, lack of formal security controls, and convoluted development requirements are problems faced by all Sanmina s, and MESWeb has been designed to resolve these issues while maximizing usability and performance.

The purpose of this application is to manage the permissions for every report in our MES Web application. It provides Sanmina-SCI s with an easy mechanism for managing users, roles, applications, services and the relations among them.

Administration

The Administration module was developed for employees with the following roles:

• Administrator: the Administrator user has full access for all locations;
• Security Manager: the Security Manager user has full access for the locations that he is assigned;
• All MESR Customers: in the Execution module, this user is able to see all customers of a specific location;
• All Data Sources: in the Execution module, this user is able to see all data sources of a specific location;
• All Reports: this user is able to execute all reports of a specific location;
• Report Manager: this role has all permission in the Report Module but just for a specific Location;
• Data Source Manager: this role has all permission in the Data Source Module but just for a specific Location;

This section will cover how to navigate and execute all location, data source and custom reports activities. With this portlet, the user can add, edit or delete locations, servers, data sources, and data source types. The user can also access report group maintenance to perform searches, create, edit or delete report groups and add s to report groups. Report maintenance also allows the user to create, edit, or delete reports. The user can also publish/unpublished reports.

Figure 24: Add Reports

To add a report the user must enter all mandatory fields, configure the SQL command clicking on the "+" icon or Configuration and select Save to commit. For further information about these fields, see the respective modules (Location, Group (Report Group), and Data Source Type) in the Portal.

Note: Checking Private just the report owner will have permissions (open, edit, etc) for this report.

The default format will be the pre select format for the Execution Module, but it could be changed during the execution.

SQL Code

Figure 25: Report Maintenance: SQL Code Configuration

This feature allows the user to add a query and check if the query is valid by clicking on Check Code SQL. To add a parameter it is necessary to use the syntax: <%shop_order%> .

Parameters

At this point, the user will choose the parameters Types and Orders. For example, if the parameter will be a check box, a list box, text box, etc

The Report Maintenance page is displayed. Select Parameters tab to add a parameter.

Figure 26: Parameters

1. The first thing to be done is create a new parameter step.  Parameter steps give us the ability to establish parent-child relationships between parameters. 

2. Select "New Step"

3. With a new step in place we can begin adding our parameters.

4. Select "New Parameters" to configure the parameters;

Figure 27: New Parameter

There are three fields that are required of every parameter you setup:

1. Name is straight forward - what you type here is what will be used as the parameters caption.  For example, "Customers" in the WIP Distribution report.

2. Instruction

You will provide any important information for the end user regarding this parameter.  In most cases this will be a very basic sentence such as "Indicate whether you want to see units that are in wip or not" that are already intuitive by just looking at the parameter.  However, you might come across situations as you develop your reports where you create a parameter whose relationship to the report is not so obvious and this field will give you a great way to explain it to the user.  The text you enter in this field will be displayed in this list.

3. Parameter Type

The Parameter Type Field will allow the user to choose the Type of parameter that will determine how this parameter is displayed. The available parameter types are listed below:

• Drop Down List

Choosing this parameter type, the user will create a "list" according with the SQL code entered in the command line.

The Value field represents the value that will be replaced in the SQL Code.

Figure 28: Drop Down List Parameter

The user must enter the mandatory fields (Name, Instructions, Command, Data Type, Value Field, Display Field and the Parameter SQL).

Parameter SQL:  this is where the developer selects the text in their report SQL that will be replaced by the values in the parameter they are currently creating. So if in their report sql they had "<%Customers%>" they would see an option in this field that would say "Customers". That’s where the application would insert the customers the users select when they execute the report.

Data Type: this indicates what kind of data will be inserted. It is the value type (integer, string, date, and double);

Command: this is used to enter the SQL query that will fill the list with the data;

Value Field: this field is the column name. This value will be substituted in the SQL Code;

Display Field: this column name that will be displayed to the user;

Required: this field defines if the field is mandatory or not;

Note: The Option Item will be displayed if the required field is not checked and it will be used to remove or replace code lines in the SQL Code in the Execution Module. This action is the same for all parameters types.

Check the All Option check box if you want to add the

Figure 29: Option Item

Select Add to open the maintenance screen.

Figure 30: Optional Item Maintenance

For example, the user can remove the <%location%> command and replace it for any value he wants.

Select Save to commit.

During the report execution, if no value is entered for this command, it will be replaced or removed automatically.

Also, the user can Edit or Delete items by clicking on Edit / Delete buttons. Select Save to commit.

• Customer Drop down List

This option is almost the same of the Drop down List; the difference is that for this case, the fields Command,
Data Type, Value Field and Display Field are already configured, so it will bring a customer list.

Figure 31: Customer Drop Down List

It is the same for Location Drop down List, Product Drop down List and Project Drop down List options. The user must enter the mandatory fields (Name, Instructions and the Parameter SQL).

Note: The Option Item will be displayed if the Required field is not checked and it will be used to remove or replace code lines in the SQL Code in the Execution Module. This action is the same for all parameters types.

Check the All Option check box if you want to add an option to choose "All"items in the list.

These options are available when the Data Source Type selected is MESR.

---

• List Box

Choosing this parameter type, the user will create a "Multiple Choose List" according with the SQL code entered in the command line.

Figure 32: List Box

The user must enter the mandatory fields (Name, Instructions, Command, Data Type, Value Field, Display Field and the Parameter SQL) already described and:

Rows: this allows developers to configure how many rows the user can see in the boxes at a time. When’s there’s going to be several hundred choices for the user it might help for them to select a higher number making it easier to search through all of them;

Select Maximum: this puts a limit on how many items the user can select in the parameter. If there are maybe 10,000 options for the user to choose you wouldn’t want to allow them to select that many;

Max Exceeded Msg: message that will be displayed if the user tries to select more data that was set in the Select Maximum field.

It is the same for options. The user must enter the mandatory fields (Name, Instructions and the Parameter SQL).

---

• Customer List Box

This option is the same as List Box;

Figure 33: Customer List Box

The fields Rows, Select Maximum, Max Exceeded Msg, Command, Data Type, Value Field and Display Field are already configured. The user will just enter the data for Instructions and Parameter SQL fields.

The result for this option is a customer

For Customer Order List Box, Department List Box, Location List Box, Product List Box, Route List Box, Shift List Box, Shop Order List Box and Process List Box options have the same configuration.

Note: These options are available when the Data Source Type selected is MESR.

---

• Data Range

This option is used to set a range of date.

Figure 34: Data Range

The user must enter the mandatory fields (Name and Instructions) already described;

Start SQL: it is the parameter name that will be substituted for the initial date range;

End SQL: it is the parameter name that will be substituted for the final date range;

Max Day Range: it is maximum quantity of days in the initial and final date range;

Display Time: Choosing this check box, the field to choose the time is displayed;
