Prepare Master Template list

In KCM ComposerUI, Master Templates list functionality can also be prepared through the server-to-server interface.

Preparation of a Master Template list consists of the following steps:

  1. Create a new session for the Master Template list.

  2. Set the parameters that define the KCM ComposerUI Master Template list.

  3. Optionally perform preparation for a subsequent Master Template run. For example, this could uploading data files or setting Master Template parameters.

KCM Core offers a service for each of these steps and services that combine these steps. See Preparation services for details on the services for preparing Master Template lists and Master Template runs.

It is also possible to extend the preparation of the Master Template list so that custom information can be stored in the session. This can be done by creating a custom service, which stores additional key/value-pairs in the session, and calling this service as an additional step. This information becomes available from all scripts that run in the context of the session. For example, the information is available during the exit point scripts or subsequent Master Template run.

Preparation of a Master Template list results in a session identifier. This session identifier can be used to invoke the actual Master Template list by opening the URL from the BA Client:

http://[ host ]:[ port ]/itp/app/[ application ]/modelselect.aspx?sessionid=[ sessionid ]

See section Parameters (prepared Master Template list) for more information.
