SAP Design Studio - Refresh a document
To refresh a document in Design Studio, a request is sent via the Web browser or a mobile client. The following are the key steps involved in data refresh −
Step 1 − To perform a refresh on Design Studio document, the user sends an HTTP request to the web browser or the mobile client to the web application server. The web application server forwards this request to the Central Management Server (CMS) to find the analysis application. The CMS server is also responsible to check if the user has access to refresh the document or not.
Step 2 − A request is sent to Analysis application server to get the current data for Design Studio document. An Analysis application service gets the current data from SAP HANA using the JDBC driver.
Step 3 − The Analysis application service creates the document with the latest data from SAP HANA and send it back to the Web Application server.
Step 4 − The last step is that Web application server converts the data to HTML format and send it to web browser or mobile client where Design document refresh data is displayed.
