Problems solved by technology

However, the printing metadata defined by such a system is bound to a certain business data source, resulting in the inability to flexibly reuse the printing metadata, resulting in the need to redefine the printing metadata when implementing different projects, and the delivery cost is high

Embodiment 1

[0026] A general design method for printing template metadata, the steps of the method are as follows:

[0027] Step 1) Identify the coupling relationship between the printing format text and the data source in the printing metadata; the coupling relationship between the printing format text and the data source is to identify the text part in the printing format text that directly uses the data source description, generally binding the data source The description rules of the control; the printing format text and the data source binding information are coupled with the names of tables and fields related to the data source, that is, the table name and field name of the data source are directly used in the print format text.

[0028] Step 2) Define the metadata content of the print template, including the print template format, template data source, and template data source description information; the template data source includes a table set and a master-slave relationship betw...

Embodiment 2

[0034] The specific implementation is described by taking the FastReport print control as an example, wherein the fr3 format file is the format file of the FastReport control. For other types of controls, the relationship between the specific printing format and the data source should be considered, especially the coupling relationship between them needs to be analyzed in detail.

[0035] Step 1) Identify the coupling relationship between the fr3 print format text and the data source in the print metadata.

[0036] According to the text analysis of the fr3 print format, there are generally several variables that need to be abstracted into template variables: data source tables and fields, script variables, and custom variables; among them, data source tables and fields need to be recognized by coupling recognition tools; script variables and custom Variables can be manually identified and added to the configuration because the rules change greatly and there are few usage scena...

Abstract

The invention discloses a general printing template metadata design method. The method steps are as follows: 1) identifying the coupling relationship between the printing format text and the data source in the printing metadata; 2) defining the printing template metadata content, including the printing template format, Template data source and template data source description information; based on the coupling relationship identified in step 1), abstract the printing metadata, and extract the print template format and template data source; 3) Implement coupling identification tools; summarize step 1) in Identify the coupling relationship, and implement a set of regular expressions to match the coupling relationship in the printed text; 4) Implement a text replacement tool. The invention can improve the delivery efficiency; it can quickly "copy" the existing typical print format to the implementation project to achieve the effect of rapid delivery; at the same time, it is also conducive to business precipitation, continuously accumulating format definition experience, and reducing the print format definition requirements for implementers .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printing format and data source in a printing system, in particular to a universal printing template metadata design method. Background technique [0002] For some large-scale ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software, the print delivery system is a very important link. The customer's report usually needs to be printed out and submitted to the relevant department for approval or submitted to the decision-making department for analysis and decision-making. [0003] Usually, the print control focuses on the printing function, but for the ERP system, it is necessary to combine the print control with the business and organize it into printing metadata to realize its own printing system. However, the printing metadata defined by such a system is bound to a certain business data source, resulting in the inability to flexibly reuse the printing metadata, resulting in the need to redefine the printing metadata ...
