Examples

The example below retrieves an existing segmentation target group item from the Business Analyst Server Repository. In order to demonstrate this method, a market segmentation target group is created and saved to the repository. The OpenSegTargetGroup method is then used to retrieve the profile.

C# 
// Instantiate the BAServerHelper class to access analysis methods
BAServerHelper baServerHelper = new BAServerHelper();
baServerHelper.ActiveDatasetID = "USA_ESRI"; // Optional parameter
 
Target[] targets = new Target[2];
 
targets[0] = new Target();
targets[0].Name = "Group 1";
targets[0].Values = "1,2,3";
 
targets[1] = new Target();
targets[1].Name = "Group 2";
targets[1].Values = "4,5";
 
TargetGroupParameters parameters = new TargetGroupParameters();
 
parameters.Targets = targets;
 
// Set other parameters
// In general, a non-null esriFolderItem is specified to save a newly-created
// item to the server-side repository or to reference an existing item in it.
esriFolderItem outputItem = new esriFolderItem();
outputItem.folderType = esriFolderType.esriFolderSegTGs;
outputItem.itemName = "targetGroup_OpenSegTargetGroup";
outputItem.projectName = "Default Project";
outputItem.workspaceName = "Default Workspace";
 
baServerHelper.TargetGroup(parameters, outputItem);
 
// Retrieve the segmentation target group list residing in the repository
string result = baServerHelper.OpenSegTargetGroup(outputItem);
 
TargetGroupData targetGroup = new TargetGroupData();
targetGroup.Description = result;
