BI / KPI / Charts engine
xly does not ship a generic OLAP / cube engine (no Mondrian, no
Saiku, no MDX; the bundled olap4j-1.2.0.jar has zero Java imports
and is dead weight — see tech-stack.md
note on OLAP4J).
What xly does ship is a homebrewed metadata-driven dashboard +
KPI layer built on the same primitives as everything else in the
framework: rows in gds* metadata tables pointing at Sp_* stored
procedures, rendered through generic Java services. This page maps it
end-to-end.
Three pieces
| Piece | Surface | Backing tables | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charts (cards, bar/line/pie/gauge widgets, dashboards) |
/indexPage/commonChar modules in FROUNT; 图表配置 admin in BACK |
gdsconfigcharmaster (3,006 rows), gdsconfigcharslave (1,951 rows) |
CharServiceImpl (2,219 lines, one of the heaviest in xlyBusinessService) |
| KPI (per-employee / per-module performance scoring) | KPI screens in BACK / FROUNT (e.g., 行为KPI项目设置, 5.经营KPI分析, 异常清除KPI任务表) |
kpimaster (124,524 rows), kpidetail (1,308), kpimodule (44), kpimoduleuser, kpimoduleuserday, kpislavel
|
KpiServiceImpl (833 lines, in xlyBusinessService/.../KPIService/) + BusinessModelKpiServiceImpl (901 lines) + FlushModleKpiThread (background refresh) |
| Pre-baked aggregation procs | Invoked by chart rows | n/a | 20 Sp_chart_* procedures + 2 Sp_KPI_* procedures + spKPImodule
|
Charts: how a dashboard renders
A chart in xly is a row in gdsconfigcharmaster with this shape (key columns):
| Column | Role |
|---|---|
sId |
Chart id |
sParentId |
The owning module (gdsmodule.sId) |
sChinese / sEnglish / sBig5
|
Chart title |
sCharType |
Widget type — see distribution below |
sProcedureName |
The stored procedure that produces the chart's data |
sProcedureParam |
JSON parameter spec for the proc |
iWidth |
Layout span (24-column grid) |
sCharType distribution in the live dev DB:
sCharType |
Count | What it renders |
|---|---|---|
Div |
1558 | Container / layout-only block |
sLabel |
1143 | Single-value text card (e.g., "今日销售额: ¥X") |
Progress |
137 | Progress bar |
sPie |
52 | Pie chart |
commonList |
45 | Embedded data grid (re-uses the universal grid) |
sColumnarGroup |
30 | Grouped bar chart |
sColumnar |
28 | Single-series bar chart |
sBrokenLine |
5 | Line chart |
sBar |
3 | Horizontal bar chart |
ColorBlock |
3 | Color-coded heatmap-style block |
sGauge |
2 | Gauge / dial widget |
Slave rows (gdsconfigcharslave) carry the per-series / per-column
breakout for charts that need multiple data series.
The runtime path:
SPA opens a /indexPage/commonChar?sModelsId=<dashboard module id>
│
▼
GET /xlyEntry/business/getModelBysId/<id>
→ returns the dashboard's metadata composite (formData includes
the chart layout from gdsconfigcharmaster + slave rows)
│
▼
For each chart:
POST /xlyEntry/business/getXxx (CharServiceImpl method) with the
chart's sProcedureName + sProcedureParam
→ CharServiceImpl invokes the named Sp_chart_* proc through
generic procedure dispatch
│
▼
SPA renders each card using ECharts (frontend), one card per chart row
The 20 Sp_chart_* procs
| Proc | What it computes |
|---|---|
Sp_chart_home_11, Sp_chart_home_13
|
Homepage dashboard cards |
Sp_chart_TodayOrder, Sp_chart_TodayOrder_hm, Sp_chart_ThisMonthQty, Sp_chart_MonthOrder, Sp_chart_MonthTeamQty
|
Today / current-month order counts and team output |
Sp_chart_TodayProfit, Sp_chart_MonthProfit, Sp_chart_TodayReceivables, Sp_chart_TodayReceive, Sp_chart_expenses
|
Financial: profit, receivables, expense rollups |
Sp_chart_EquipmentLoad, Sp_chart_EquipmentLoad1, Sp_chart_EquipmentLod1, Sp_chart_EquipmentLast, Sp_chart_sMachine_speed, Sp_chart_Bottleneck
|
Shop-floor: equipment utilisation, last-running state, current bottleneck |
Sp_chart_OrderProcess, Sp_chart_WorkOrderProcess
|
Order / work-order progress timelines |
Each follows the standard (IN sLoginId, IN sBrId, IN sSuId, ...) →
result-set shape so generic dispatch can call it. The
multi-tenant scoping flows through
naturally — every chart is automatically tenant-filtered.
Pre-built dashboard modules in this dev DB
/indexPage/commonChar is the shared route. The dev DB has 6 modules
mapped to it:
| Module sId | 中文 |
|---|---|
19211681019715464089035510 |
销售图表分析 (Sales chart analysis) |
19211681019715481435115760 |
财务图表分析 (Financial chart analysis) |
19211681019715481435298200 |
生产图表分析 (Production chart analysis) |
19211681019715708435449190 |
销售大数据分析 ("sales big-data analysis") |
19211681019715708471874620 |
采购大数据分析 (Procurement big-data analysis) |
101251240115015889205266000 |
采购价格分析查询 (Procurement price analysis) |
All six are metadata-driven via gdsconfigcharmaster rows — no Java
code change needed to add or modify them.
KPI subsystem
Disambiguation. The FROUNT home page also shows a card titled "KPI监控" (KPI Monitor) — that is not the same thing as what's documented here. The home-page card is an open-task counter served by
BusinessModelCenterController.getModelCenter; it readsgdsmodule.bUnTask/sUnType, has no targets / scoring / charts, and is misleadingly named. See The KPI Work Center in runtime.md. Thekpi*table family below is the actual per-employee performance-scoring layer.
kpi* is a per-employee performance-scoring layer separate from
the chart rendering. The shape:
| Table | Role | Live row count |
|---|---|---|
kpimaster |
Per-employee per-period KPI rollup. The volume table — one row per employee per scored event. | 124,524 |
kpidetail |
Detail rows backing each kpimaster aggregate. |
1,308 |
kpimodule |
KPI definitions — which modules / metrics participate. | 44 |
kpimoduleuser |
Per-user KPI assignments. | 0 (unassigned in dev DB) |
kpimoduleuserday |
Daily KPI bucket per user. | 1 |
kpislavel |
KPI level / band definitions. | 0 |
Java side:
-
KpiServiceImpl.java(833 lines, inxlyBusinessService/.../KPIService/) — the read/write API for KPI events. -
BusinessModelKpiServiceImpl.java(901 lines) — the computation layer that turns business-event data into KPI rows. -
FlushModleKpiThread.java— background recompute worker. -
KpimasterCloum.javaenum (xlyPersist) — column-name constants.
Procs:
-
Sp_KPI_DetailByEmployee— per-employee detail report. -
Sp_KPI_SumByEmployee— per-employee summary rollup. -
spKPImodule— recompute KPI for a module.
There is also a sizable customer override under
script/客户/: e.g., script/标版/30100101/spKPImodule.sql and
several Sp_SalesOrder_Kpi* procs (matches the
per-customer SQL override channel
— customers who want different KPI rules ship their own proc).
Why this matters
xly's BI layer demonstrates the data-driven thesis at scale:
-
Adding a new dashboard card requires no Java change — a PM
inserts a
gdsconfigcharmasterrow pointing at aSp_chart_*proc, setssCharTypeandiWidth, the SPA picks it up on the nextgetModelBysIdcache miss. -
Adding a new chart proc does require a SQL author (the proc
has to follow the standard tenant-scoped shape so generic dispatch
can call it through
CharServiceImpl). - No OLAP cube, no MDX, no semantic layer. Each chart is a purpose-built SQL stored procedure. This trades reusability for simplicity — perfect-fit aggregations, no general-purpose ad-hoc query builder.
What this is not
- Not a self-service BI tool. Customers cannot point at any table and build a chart through drag-and-drop; new charts require a SQL stored procedure and an admin who knows how to register the metadata row.
- Not real-time analytics infrastructure. Charts run their procs on cache miss against the OLTP MySQL schema. There is no separate warehouse, no incremental aggregation pipeline, no streaming layer. Heavy charts on large customers will execute heavy SQL on the live DB.
-
Not column-store / OLAP-engine-backed. The
olap4jjars inxlyPersist/build.gradlehave zero Java imports — they're classpath-only dead weight. xly uses MySQL's regular row-store via MyBatis through generic procedure dispatch.
