SPDataStore.GetDataSource method

public DataSource GetDataSource(
	RepositoryLocation location
)

Implements

The following code example shows how to retrieve a data source from the repository.

Before you can compile this code example, you must do the following:

• Configure your development environment and create a C# class library project in Visual Studio. For information about configuring a development environment, see Start: Set up the development environment for SharePoint 2013.

• Add the Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Client and Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.ServerCommon DLLs as references to your project. For more information about PerformancePoint Services DLLs, see PerformancePoint Services DLLs Used in Development Scenarios.

• Add the following using directive to your class: using Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards;.

• Create a method that defines a string variable named "relativePath" to store the server-relative path to the object. The following example path sets the object identifier to "5": /BI Center/Data Connections for PerformancePoint/5_.000.

• Paste the following code example into the new method.

// Create a RepositoryLocation object to represent the location of the data source. 
// The constructor takes the server-relative path to the data source.
RepositoryLocation dataSourceLocation = new RepositoryLocation(relativePath);

// This example assumes the code is running in a Web Part on a front-end Web server.
// If this code is running within a service application, then you can call the
// SPDataStore.GlobalStore.GetDataSource method directly.
DataSource requestedDataSource = 
    BIMonitoringServiceApplicationProxy.Default.GetDataSource(dataSourceLocation);
