In Strategy, a derived Transformation Metric will be derived from the metrics that already exist on the workingset. Using the Strategy Java Web SDK 9.0.1, it is possible to programmatically create a derived transformation metric.
To accomplish this, use the following methods:
WebReportManipulation.addTransformationMetric(WebTransformationMetric)
WebReportManipulation.GetNewTransformationMetric(WebMetric, WebObjectInfo)
Use the following code as a guide for accomplishing this customization:
WebReportInstance rInstance = rSource.getNewInstance(reportID);
WebReportManipulation manip= rInstance.getReportManipulator();
WebTemplate template = rInstance.getTemplate();
WebTemplateMetrics wtms = template.getTemplateMetrics();
WebTemplateMetric wtm = wtms.get(0);
int position = wtm.getPosition();
WebMetric metric = wtm.getMetric();
//get transformation role
WebObjectinfo transObj = oFactory.ObjectSource.GetObject("7ABF2FE7EEEFAF297A3DA7BE28461E3C",DssXmlTypeRole)
WebTransformationMetric tMetric = manip.GetNewTransformationMetric(metric, transObj);
//set properties on the new transformation metric
tMetric.setFormulaType(EnumDSSXMLMetricFormulaType.DssXmlMetricFormulaDifference);
rInstance = manip.addTransformationMetric(tMetric );
