Update Data in JMP Live

If the data behind a JMP Live report changes, you can update the data (or map file, if applicable). Any reports that use the data are updated and automatically regenerate in JMP Live.

The following example creates a Distribution report, publishes the report and the associated data to a folder in your personal space, and updates the data.

Example of Updating Data

This example publishes a Distribution report to a folder in your personal space, updating the existing data in JMP Live.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

// Open the Big Class sample data table.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
// Run the Distribution table script and call the report dist.
dist = dt << Run Script( "Distribution" );
// Set up the connection to the JMP Live server.
liveconnection = New JMP Live();

/* Create a folder in your personal space with a title. Use the JMP Live Connection that you established and return a JMP Live object called jmpliveresult. */

jmpliveresult = liveconnection << Create Folder( Space( "~" ), Title( "Update Data Example" ) );
// Make the result scriptable.
folder = jmpliveresult << As Scriptable;
// Add the dist report to content.
content = New JMP Live Content( dist );
// Publish the content to the newly created folder and get the folder ID.
jmpliveresult = liveconnection << Publish( content, Folder( ID( folder << Get ID ) ) );
// Make the list of created posts scriptable.
postlist = jmpliveresult << As Scriptable;
// Get the details for the post.
dataId = "";
For( i = 1, i <= postlist << Get Number Of Items, i += 1,
	type = postlist[i] << Get Type();
	If( type == "Data",
		dataId = postlist[i] << Get ID
	);
);
// Use the Update Data command and the dataId to update the data table in JMP Live.
liveresult = liveconnection << Update Data( ID ( dataId ), dt );
