Issue while linking a webi report to a dashboard

115 Views

Hi Everyone,

I am having issues while linking a webi document to a dashboard url that is viewed in SAP BI Mobile App. So we have a dashboard in which there are URL's to open the corresponding detail webi reports. Our BO environment is 4.0 SP6.

Now i worked on 4.0 SP5 back in February and was able to link webi to dashboards and open them with in App successfully. Syntax i used then was something like this.

sapbi://OpenDoc/?authType=secEnterprise&connection_name=AB&server_url=ABCD:8080&ConnectionType=BOEConnection&cms=ABCD:6400&type=webi&iDocID=FhgScFJwUAYA4R4AAAAHEr7AnI6ZHlf4&reportPageNumber=0&sReportName=ABCD

Now when i use this syntax to link it opens a new connection. I did some research and now i understand that this syntax is changed for creating a new connection for users and the regular opendoc syntax is now back to use linking of webi documents to dashboards in BI App.

http://ABCD:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=FhgScFJwUAYA4R4AAAAHEr7AnI6ZHlf4

But to my surprise since i am on 4.0 SP6 both the syntax does not work for me. For a test i upgraded my dashboard designer to 4.1 and published the dashboard to BO environment which is in 4.0 SP6 and tried to open the webi report with the above opendoc link and i was able to successfully open it.

The problem is we are not going to upgrade the whole environment to 4.1 just for this purpose.

I want to know if there is any solution of how to link webi reports to dashboards and open them in Mobile App for the BI 4.0 SP6 version.

My BO environment : 4.0 SP6

Mobile App : 5.0.7.11

Please let me know if you need any other details.
