GetDataAutomatically Property

Sets or returns whether the Report object retrieves data automatically each time it is modified.

Syntax

Report.GetDataAutomatically

Applies To

Report Object

Discussion

If True, the data is updated with each report modifying action such as ranking and calculations. If False, calculations, ranking, and other report modifying actions will update the number of columns and rows, but the data will not be updated. Set the property to False when using a large amount of data. Once completed, you can get the data using the GetDataNow method. This way, the Application object is not constantly polling the cube for new information.

Default: False

Type

Boolean

Access

Read/Write

Example

This example opens a report, and updates the data in the report using the GetDataNow method, if the GetDataAutomatically property is set to False.

Sub Main()
   Dim objPPRep as Object
   Set objPPRep = CreateObject ("CognosPowerPlay.Report")
   objPPRep.Open "C:\Cubes and Reports\Sample2.ppx"
   If objPPRep.GetDataAutomatically = 0 then
      objPPRep.GetDataNow
   End if
   Set objPPRep = Nothing
End Sub
