Real-time data display

terapin — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 21:35:39 GMT

I'm wondering if JMP Pro has some instructions and capabilities that allow users to automatically run various scripts to pull data from a SQL database and update data displays (HTML or otherwise) at user specified frequencies? I've been digging through the various manuals and haven't found anything that indicates that this capability exists within JMP Pro. Am I trying to get JMP to do something it wasn't designed for or just missing the key section(s) of the JSL references that might indicate how I can pull this off?

@terapin if the users in question have acces to JMP, then yes, no problem.

There are several ways to approach. Perhaps the quickest way to get going is to use JMP Query Builder

to define the SQL, then you can use the resulting data table to create the visuals or data displays, save the JSL for the displays

then incorporate the JSL into the Query Builder platform.

If they don't have JMP, then JMP Live seems like a great option.

There are other appraches as well, but I think query builder may be the best way to get familiar.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks G_M,

Regarding your suggestion, is the Schedule() command the only way to execute JSL script without a user manually executing the script beyond the initial execution?

You would want to create a JSL script which pulls your dataset, generates your analysis, and saves it out as a web report. Once you have that script created, you can then setup a Windows task scheduler to run the script on the desired time frequency. To run a JMP script from the command line, just include the script file when starting JMP, ex. "C:\path_to_jmp\jmp.exe script.jsl". I would imagine Mac has a similar feature.

Thanks mzwald for your suggestion,

I thought that was an option outside of JMP, but was curious to learn if there were any capabilities within JMP to complete real-time tasks.

This presentation from Discovery Summit Europe 2019 may provide some useful information as well: . It contains some of the suggestions already mentioned.

Thanks Ryan,

This information is very helpful and relevant to my data reporting needs.

There is a Schedule() function in JSL but this would require JMP to be continuously running.

@terapin You can run a JMP script through a batch file and execute the batch file through your task scheduler. I have a couple of jobs that work like this and they are very reliable. Only hiccup I ever have is when the password on the machine expires I needs to update the password in the task scheduler. I am not very familiar with the Schedule() function. Search the JMP Discussions for an example of running a JSL file from a batch file.
