SAP Design Studio - Refresh a document

To refresh a document in Design Studio, a request is sent via the Web browser or a mobile cpent. The following are the key steps involved in data refresh −

Step 1 − To perform a refresh on Design Studio document, the user sends an HTTP request to the web browser or the mobile cpent to the web apppcation server. The web apppcation server forwards this request to the Central Management Server (CMS) to find the analysis apppcation. The CMS server is also responsible to check if the user has access to refresh the document or not.

Step 2 − A request is sent to Analysis apppcation server to get the current data for Design Studio document. An Analysis apppcation service gets the current data from SAP HANA using the JDBC driver.

Step 3 − The Analysis apppcation service creates the document with the latest data from SAP HANA and send it back to the Web Apppcation server.

Step 4 − The last step is that Web apppcation server converts the data to HTML format and send it to web browser or mobile cpent where Design document refresh data is displayed.
