Setup and List of Files#

To see how to set up the Profiler Object, the list of files that will be downloaded and used, and the system requirements to run the Object, please visit the GitHub Sample Code.

Methods#

Initialize Profiler Object - Set#

These functions initialize Profiler Object and connect it to its data files.

InitializeDataFiles#

Syntax:

InitializeDataFiles();

Returns:

Initialization Status

Return Type:

ProgramStatus

This function opens the required data files and prepares the profiler for use. You must call the SetLicenseString function if you don’t have the MD_LICENSE environmental variable set prior to calling InitializeDataFiles.

If the InitializeDataFiles function returns a code other than zero, you can call the GetInitializeErrorString function to display a string describing the error.

Required Functions

You must successfully call SetPathToProfilerDataFiles and SetFileName functions.

The InitializeDataFiles function returns a value of the enumerated type ProgramStatus.

Return Value:

void

Optional. This function enables/disables the sortation analysis, which can increase AddRecord profiling time. This time penalty grows geometrically as more records are added. If you are not interested in this statistic, disable it to decrease your profiling time.

The default value is “true.” A “false” value will disable this function. This function needs to be set prior to calling InitializeDataFiles.

Parameters

The SetSortAnalysis function has one parameter; SortAnalysisValue, an int value where 0-False, 1-True. This Sets the analysis on or off.

SetMatchUpAnalysis#

Syntax:

SetMatchUpAnalysis(int MatchUpAnalysisValue);

Return Type:

void

Optional. This function enables/disables duplicate record detection. Duplicate analysis increases the AddRecord profiling time by under 5% and ProfileData profiling time by about 30%. These time increases often outweigh the usefulness of having these statistics.

The default value is “true.” A “false” value will disable this function. This function needs to be set prior to calling InitializeDataFiles.

Parameters

The SetMatchUpAnalysis function has one parameter; MatchUpAnalysisValue, an int value where 0-False, 1-True. This Sets the analysis on or off.

SetRightFielderAnalysis#

This increases the AddRecord profiling time by under 10%. It is usually good to keep these useful analysis, even with the increased profiling time.

The default value is “true.” A “false” value will disable this function. This function needs to be set prior to calling InitializeDataFiles.

Parameters

The SetRightFielderAnalysis function has one parameter; RightFielderAnalysisValue, an int value where 0-False, 1-True. This Sets the analysis on or off.

SetDataAggregationAnalysis#

Any statistic that cannot be determined incrementally (for example, median, population standard deviation, etc.) is determined via aggregation. This analysis is also responsible for all value tables (Frequency, Pattern, SoundEx, etc.). All iterators and data aggregation statistics are dependent on this analysis. This increase profiling time by over 90%. These statistics are usually useful enough to justify the increased profiling time.

The default value is “true.” A “false” value will disable this function and by dependency disable all iterators and data aggregation statistics. This property should be set before InitializeDataFiles is called.

Parameters

The SetDataAggregationAnalysis function has one parameter; SetDataAggregationAnalysisValue, an int value where 0-False, 1-True. This Sets the aggregation on or off.

GetProfileEndDateTime#

Syntax:

GetProfileEndDateTime();

Return Type:

string

This function returns the profiling end date and time.

Enumeration Listing and Parsing#

These functions are largely used by enterprise client applications to poll enumerators and result codes. For example, a GUI product author may opt to not to use a hard-coded list of column types, and rather retrieve a list of valid column types from the object itself. This provides some amount of upward compatibility, as new column types can be added to the object without requiring the developers to update and rebuild their applications.

GetColumnTypeEnum#

Syntax:

GetColumnTypeEnum();

Return Type:

string

This function returns all Column Type enumerations. This returns a comma delimited list of the numeric values of each enumeration (i.e., “1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29”.) You will typically use this by splitting the result by the comma delimiter and iterate through the list of numeric values, passing each value to GetColumnTypeDescription, to get a description of this enumeration. See ProfilerColumnType for more details.

GetColumnTypeDescription#

Syntax:

GetColumnTypeDescription(ProfilerColumnType ProfilerColumnTypeValue);

Return Type:

string

This function returns the description for the specified ColumnType Enumerator. See ProfilerColumnType for more details.

Parameters

The GetColumnTypeDescription function has one parameter; ProfilerColumnTypeValue, a ProfilerColumnType value

ParseColumnTypeDescription#

Syntax:

ParseColumnTypeDescription(string ColumnTypeDescString);

Return Type:

ProfilerColumnType

This function parses the description of the Column Type. This is actually a reverse function of GetColumnTypeDescription. See ProfilerColumnType for more details.

Parameters

The ParseColumnTypeDescription function has one parameter; ColumnTypeDescString, a string value that contains the description of the Profiler Column Type.

GetDataTypeEnum#

Syntax:

GetDataTypeEnum();

Initiate Profiling#

You must call StartProfiling before you start specifying column and row content. After calling StartProfiling, changes to the column specifications (i.e., AddColumn, SetColumnCustomPattern, etc.) will be ignored.

StartProfiling#

Syntax:

StartProfiling();

Return Type:

void

This function starts profiling the added columns. After calling StartProfiling, any changes to the setup will be ignored and the object will be ready for you to start feeding it data.

Data Input#

You must call StartProfiling before you start specifying column and row content.

For each record to be profiled, call SetColumn or SetColumnNull for each column. After the values for all columns have been specified, call AddRecord to submit the record for profiling. Note that if SetColumn or SetColumnNull are called more than once for the same column before AddRecord is called, then the last function call’s data will be used. Also, if neither SetColumn nor SetColumnNull are called before AddRecord, then the column is assumed to contain a NULL (i.e., the same as if you called SetColumnNull for that column.)

SetColumn#

This function submits the record’s column values for profiling. No Parameters are required. After calling AddRecord, the result for the current record will be available using GetResults.

AddDelimitedRecord#

Syntax:

AddDelimitedRecord(string Record);

Return Type:

string

Parses and adds the specified record. Essentially, this splits the record, and then calls SetColumn for each found field. Finally, AddRecord is called to add the entire row. Note that columns are parsed in the order that they were specified by the user’s AddRecord calls.

Parameters

The AddDelimitedRecord function has one parameters:

Record, a string value representing the delimited record.

This function returns a string containing a result code:

Result Code

Description

QS90

One of the parsed fields contains an embedded row delimiter.

QS91

The input record did not contain all the fields specified by AddColumn(). For example, the user may have called AddColumn () 5 times to specify that there were 5 fields, but, when parsed, the input record contained only 4 fields.

QS92

Extra fields (more than the ones specified by AddColumn ()) were parsed (the contents are discarded).

QE90

Unbalanced text qualifiers. One of the parsed fields contained a leading text qualifier but not a trailing one (or vice-versa) (only reported when the comma is the column delimiter).

QE91

Un-escaped text qualifier. One of the parsed fields contained a text qualifier that was not escaped (only reported when the comma is the column delimiter).

The reason why QE90 and QE91 are only reported for comma-delimited record parsing is because the comma is the only standard delimiter which requires text qualifiers (because the comma appears frequently in the data it is delimiting). Other delimiters (such as tab) generally don’t require text qualification because the delimiter does not appear in the data.

However, there is an exception in that sometimes the row delimiter (ie CR+LF or CR or LF) will appear in the data, and the text qualifiers will be used to ‘protect’ the row delimiter from being parsed as a row delimiter rather than data. It is very easy for a user to create such a file in Excel (simply by creating a multi-line entry and exporting it as tab-delimited). Unfortunately, a great many ASCII importers have difficulty dealing with this convention, and will badly butcher data having embedded row delimiters.

Counts of the above result codes are provided with: int GetTableEmbeddedrowDelimiterCount() – QS90 count. int GetTableNotAllFieldsPresentCount() – QS91 count. int GetTableExtraFieldsPresentCount() – QS92 count. int GetTableUnbalancedTextQualifiersCount() – QE90 count. int GetTableUnescapedEmbeddedTextQualifiersCount() – QE91 count.

After AddDelimitedRecord has been called, the user can get the contents of each column with: GetColumnValue(columnName) – which returns the contents of columnName.

GetColumnValue#

Syntax:

GetColumnValue(string ColumnName);

Return Type:

void

This function returns the contents of the specified column name. This comes handy to retrieve the parsed fields when using AddDelimitedRecord.

Note that this function also works for the conventional SetColumn()/AddRecord () calling convention. However, the user should assume that the data provided by GetColumnValue() is only valid until AddRecord() is called. After that, a new row buffer is initialized, and the previous row’s data may not be valid.

Parameters

The GetColumnValue function has one parameters:

ColumnName, a string value representing the Field Name.

SetColumnDelimiter#

Syntax:

SetColumnDelimiter(string ColumnDelimiter);

Return Type:

void

This function sets the character that will delimit fields for the Profiler AddDelimitedRecord() function. This function needs to be set prior to calling AddDelimitedRecord.

The default value for this function is comma “,”

Note: Only the first character is recognized. Any extra characters are ignored.

Parameters

The SetColumnDelimiter function has one parameters:

ColumnDelimiter, a string value representing the column delimiter.

SetRowDelimiter#

Syntax:

SetRowDelimiter(string RowDelimiter);

Return Type:

void

This function sets the character that will delimit rows (records) for the Profiler AddDelimitedRecord function. This function needs to be set prior to calling AddDelimitedRecord.

As the user is providing one row at a time, this function may seem unnecessary, but it is used to detect embedded row delimiters. If “” (an empty string) is used (which is the default), then carriage return (CR) and/or line feed (LF) are used as the row delimiters.

The default value for this function is comma “,”.

Note: Only the first character is recognized. Any extra characters are ignored.

Parameters

The SetRowDelimiter function has one parameters:

RowDelimiter, a string value representing the row delimiter.

SetTextQualifier#

Syntax:

SetTextQualifier(string Qualifier);

Return Type:

void

The Text Qualifier indicates the character that can (optionally) enclose fields. It is usually used to ‘protect’ in-field delimiters, and is often the double-quote character. Also, if this character appears in the field data itself, it must be properly escaped. Escaping of this character can be accomplished by doubling it, as in ‘George “”Babe”” Ruth’, or prefixing it with a backslash, as in ‘George ”Babe” Ruth’.

The default text qualifier is the double-quote character. An empty string (“”) can be used to specify that there is no text qualifier.

Note: Only the first character is recognized. Any extra characters are ignored.

Parameters

The SetTextQualifier function has one parameters:

RowDelimiter, a string value representing the text qualifier.
