DifferenceToXmlDoc (UserStatistics function)
Login timestamps difference in xml format (UserStatistics class)
This method returns to an XML document the difference in values between one
UserStatistics object and another for all Login statistics with non-zero values
(by default) or for all Login statistics (as an option).
See the description of login statistics.
Syntax
%doc = userStatistics:DifferenceToXmlDoc( ustatOld, [Zeros= boolean], - [AttributeValues= boolean], - [AttributeNames= boolean], - [NamesToLower= boolean])
Syntax terms
- %doc
- A Janus SOAP XmlDoc object variable to contain the listing of the difference values of the Login statistics.
- %ustat
- A UserStatistics object variable.
- %ustatOld
- An older UserStatistics object variable for the same user login as %ustat.
- Zeros= bool
- This name required argument (Zeros) is a boolean value that indicates whether differences with a zero value should be included in the returned data. Zeros is an optional argument that defaults to False, which results in non-zero values only being included.
- AttributeValues= bool
- This name required argument (AttributeValues) is a boolean value that indicates whether statistic values are to be displayed as text or as value attributes within their XML document elements. For example, <DKRD>1107</DKRD> is text format, and <DKRD value="1107"/> is attribute-value format. The default value is False, which produces text format.
- AttributeNames= bool
- This name required argument (AttributeNames) is a boolean value
that indicates whether statistic names are to be displayed
within their XML document elements
as the element name or as the value of a “name” attribute.
For example, <DKRD>1107</DKRD> is element-name format,
and the following is name-as-attribute format:
<stat name="DKRD"> 1107 </stat>
The default value is False, which produces element-name format.
- NamesToLower= bool
- This name required argument (NamesToLower) is a boolean value that indicates whether statistic names are to be displayed in lowercase characters. The default value is False.
Usage notes
- The Difference function returns the value differences between two UserStatistics objects for the Login statistic you specify. The DifferenceToString function returns to a longstring the value differences for all, or all non-zero, Login statistics.
Examples
The display of non-zero difference statistics below is produced by a sequence of statements like the following:
%doc is object xmldoc %statStart is object userstatistics %statEnd is object userstatistics . . . %doc = %statEnd:differencetoXmlDoc(%statStart, zeros=false) %doc:Print
The following are sample results:
<UserStatisticsDifferences time="20080903121750819" userNumber="20" loginTime="20080903115821710" baseTime="20080903121750818"> <SQWR>2</SQWR> <MOVE>2</MOVE> <DKAR>2</DKAR> </UserStatisticsDifferences>
A %doc = %statEnd:differencetoXmlDoc(%statStart)
statement would
return all the statistics, including those with a 0 value.
