Follow this procedure to edit a query. Depending on your permissions, you may not be able to edit a System query or a query created by another user.

1
In the Module Contents pane, click the Queries tab.
2
Select the User query from the Modules Contents pane.
3
Select Edit from the Definitions pane.
The query definition is displayed.

Deleting a Query

Follow this procedure to delete a query. You can only delete your own User queries. You cannot delete a System query or a query created by another user.

To delete a query:
1
In the Module Contents pane, click the Queries tab.
2
Select the User query from the List frame.
3
Select Delete from the Definitions pane.
A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm the deletion.

Legacy Custom Query

Use Functions instead of Legacy Custom Queries.

In past releases, a Legacy Custom Query was used to return data that may or may not be bound to a specific data source.

Correctly formed Groovy scripts automatically appear as Legacy Custom Queries.

Web Component Framework examples:

•
Time Range chunking
•
Remove duplicates

Foglight examples:

•
Check User Permissions

Functions

Function definitions let you return data of a declared output type given an expected input. They allow users to easily generate possible return values in a way that can be easier than using queries.

The four types of functions are JavaTM, Map, Script, and Script with Map. They are created in the Functions tab of the Definitions editor. Similar to other type of definitions, Functions can be added, edited, removed, or copied. They also support the common entity attributes. For more information, see Definitions and Entities.

In the Query and Scripting Service Tool, click the icon for Script Help, which is at the top right of the Script box. Alternatively, you can type help(server) and click the Run button below the Script box. In the Result area, click Topology Service to see the Foglight™ methods.
