DoctorPivot Overview

DoctorPivot provides you with a means to investigate the measures and PostProcessors that are employed within your ActivePivot Accelerator projects:

  • Enables you to view the measure chains that make up any measure in the cubes, together with the properties and descriptions of every measure in these chains.

  • Shows how these entities interact with each other.

  • Facilitates instant access to the JavaDoc descriptions of the Plugin Keys that are associated with the key PostProcessor classes.

  • Runs as part of the server component and comprises the DoctorPivot API and DoctorPivot Web App.

DoctorPivot API

DoctorPivot API is a REST service that gets information about your
ActivePivot Accelerator project's cubes and measures. This service can
be used with the DoctorPivot Web App or used to power other user
interfaces or tools.

DoctorPivot Web App

The web app is an intuitive web-based application for viewing the data
that the DoctorPivot API exposes. While the network for the selected
cube is traversed, the following entities are made available:

-   Datastore fields
-   Measure details
-   Parent/child relationships between the measures
-   PostProcessor classes
-   Javadocs
-   Plugin keys
