The enablePersistedAggregation() GraphQL mutation is used to enable a persisted aggregation. It will return if successful the updated persisted aggregation Otherwise, it will return FieldValidationException for validation errors.

To disable a persisted aggregation, use the disablePersistedAggregation() mutations. To create a persisted aggregation, use the createPersistedAggregation() mutation. To make changes to a persisted aggregation, use updatePersistedAggregation(). To delete one, use the deletePersistedAggregation() mutation. To get a list of all persisted aggregations accessible, use the persistedAggregations() query.

Syntax

graphql
enablePersistedAggregation(
     input: EnablePersistedAggregationInput!
   ): PersistedAggregation!

For the results, there are several parameters you can request. See the Returned Values section farther down this page.
