Returns

Array of SummarizationInfo containing the list of summarization variables available for the given hiearchy of data layers. In the case of JSON and PJSON response types, the response format depends on the compatibility parameter value.

The HTML output of the Get Summarizations REST service will return all attributes of each Summarization variable record.

Remarks

To execute some analysis, you need to select summarization variables of data hierarchy on which analysis is going to run. This method is used to get summarization variables list from a hierarchy of data layers.

The Query is specified using the Lucene syntax. In the simple case, the string contains a search filter of the form "field-name:search-string" where field-name is the name of the field to search in and search-string is a string to search in the given field. For example, "category:CEX" query will select variables whose category property contains the "CEX" string (ignore case).

The following attributes of summarization variables are searchable: "Name", "Alias", "Category", "LongDescription", “Groups” and “Vintage.

Using the Visibility parameter you can request only those attributes of summarization variables which are necessary in your application. You can also requiest a group of attributes using special group names:

Group name	Description
$all	All attributes.
$id	The "Name" attribute.
$min	The "Name" and "Alias" attributes.
$default	The "Name", "Alias", "Category", and "LongDescription" attributes.
$thematic	Attributes required for thematic mapping.

If the Visibility parameter is missing, all attributes of summarization variables are requested in compatibility with version 10.0.

The Start and Length parameters allow you to request summarization variables with paging—the starting index and the maximum number of requested variables could be specified with these parameters.

NOTE: Since Business Analyst Server 10.0, the LayerID parameter is replaced with an optional DataHierarchy parameter.
