The data is stored into the [[Opasnet base]] as two-dimensional tables, one for each data object (data objects can be either [[study|studies]] or [[variable]]s. For details, see the [[Opasnet Base structure|description of the database structure]]. For example, the data called [[Morbidity data for Europe]] consists of a table that is indexed by four [[index|indices]]: Year, Sex, Age, and Country. Indices define the specifics of a particular observation. In addition, there is one [[parameter]] (morbidity), which is the field that contains the observations (values of interest).

'''cond''': the name of the field that is compared with in. Cond must be text.

Kehitettävää (by Erkki):
*A) Taulukkodatan syöttö on vielä epävarmaa, toimii välillä ja välillä ei, vailla selkeää johdonmukaisuutta. ==> Epävarma toiminta voisi Juhan mukaan viitata johonkin selain-/flash-/tms.-tekniseen fibaan.
*B) Parametrisarakkeissa olevan puuttuvan datan käsittely näyttää keskeneräiseltä, koska 'Null' ei nähtävästi kelpaa arvoksi lainkaan (ko. rivit jäävät kokonaan pois), ja 'Undefined'-arvot AWP muuntaa nolliksi, mikä johtaa harhaan.
::{{attack|1 |There is no need to store null values, because all missing values are null anyway.|--[[User:Jouni|Jouni]] 11:57, 13 January 2010 (UTC)}}
*C) Kun menen katsomaan http://base.opasnet.org/, niin ko. study näkyy kylläkin pudotusvalikossa, mutta "post"-painikkeella ei palaudu mitään dataa. Juha varmaan fiksailee tuon kun ehtii.
 
{{todo|Järjestelmää voisi muuttaa seuraavasti:
* Ensin ladataan obj-, act- ja loc-tiedot (explanations). Vasta sen jälkeen ladataan muut (observations: cell, loccell, res). Tämä edellyttää: a) kaikki loc-tietot kaikista ladattavista muuttujista käsitellään kerralla tai luodaan luuppi myös explanationsiin (edellinen parempi), b) kaikki lataustavat tuottavat standardimuotoisen Data_tablen.
* Replace/append pitää toimia kaikilla lataustyypeillä.
* Ind pitäisi erottaa omaksi taulukseen Obj:sta. Tämä kuitenkin vaatii niin paljon muutoksia, ettei siihen ryhdytä neuvottelematta Juhan ja Einarin kanssa. Alustavia valmisteluja kuitenkin tehdään halkaisemalla OBC:n Objects-taulu kahtia, Indices erikseen.

This page relates to old versions of Opasnet Base (2008-2011) and its connections. For the current database version, see Opasnet Base.

This model is an interface for uploading data to and downloading it from the Opasnet Base. For using the file, you need Analytica Enterprise.

Uploading to Opasnet Base helps you understand what data could and should be updated to Opasnet Base and what the recommended data structures and formats are. For technical instructions how to use the current upload software, see Opasnet Base connection. For a general description about the database, see Opasnet Base and for technical details about the database, see Opasnet Base structure. For details about downloading data, see Opasnet Base UI.

Some key parts of OBC explained

Findid
This function gets an id from a table. It has the following parameters: in: the property for which the id is needed. In MUST be unique in cond and it must contain index i. table: the table from where the id is brought. The table MUST have .j as the column index, .i as the row index, and a column named 'id'. cond: the name of the field that is compared with in. Cond must be text.
Textify
Changes a number to a text value with up to 15 significant numbers. This bypasses the number formatting problem that tends to convert e.g. 93341 to '93.34K'. If the input is null, the result is .

current10:26, 21 August 2010 (80 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Major simplifying revisions: lot of memory-saving improvements. Two input formats rejected. Intermediate nodes merged to save memory. Bugs corrected.
19:30, 12 July 2010 (92 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Now it is quick also with probabilistic data, as I changed while-do loop to for x[]:= b loop. In addition, the obs in a deterministic table is the row number, while before it was just zero.
13:42, 12 July 2010 (92 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)As expected, Cellrow node was too heavy with large data. This part was streamlined. Now it is quick and simple with deterministic data, but takes a long time with large probabilistic data (little memory need, though).
22:22, 11 July 2010 (92 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Still some bugs found but it seems to work now.
05:05, 10 July 2010 (107 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Model tested with several options and now it always works! This is now version 2.0. All descriptions were moved to file:Opasnet base connection.ANA (technical) and Uploading to Opasnet Base (method) and updated.
14:56, 9 July 2010 (121 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Tested and now it works except bugs were found from W_Actobj and Cell, because they depend on uploaded tables and the update too fast. Maybe a static node in between solves this problem.
23:05, 8 July 2010 (136 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Update finalised and first tests are successful. The code has become much simpler, it can even been understood by outsiders.
14:11, 8 July 2010 (126 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Code streamlined. All different upload types seem to work to Data_table phase but not further. Added observise function to work with table-based prob data.
22:50, 7 July 2010 (108 KB)Jouni (talk | contribs)Index info was rejected because it caused trouble with updating, was complex, and didn't bring anything essential. Some bugs removed. Should work now but haven't tested yet. Code starts to be simple and beautiful. Stuff moved to Old parts.
