MitsServer
MQL Request Engine
The second major function that MitsServer performs is the processing of
requests for data from MITS Applications. Client programs such as MitsView
or MitsWeb connect to MitsServer and make requests in the form of MQL (MITS
Query Language) queries. These queries yield table-like results of
information based on the data originally populated into the hypercube. The
exact results returned depend on both the structure of the query executed,
and the design of the MITS Application itself.
Certain portions of the application configuration process deal with
presentation of the data. These portions are setup in advance using
MitsMaker. An example of this would be the columns available for a certain
application. While MitsMaker configures what columns are available to the
user, and what portion of the hypercube provides the results for each
column, it is the client software that determines which columns are
included in a specific flash screen presentation.
The flash screen presentations may be saved using the client software,
however the flash screen configuration itself is saved on the MitsServer.
When the saved flash screen is recalled, MitsServer looks up the
configuration, and fills in the results with the most up-to-date
information from the hypercube.
In addition to the Applications and flash screens, other configuration
items such as user profiles and permissions, are also stored on the server.
This makes administration of the MITS system simple and easy.
