how can we call the lastest saved instance of a webi from Lumira Designer?

Hi Shubham,

Can you try the following URL variation?:

APPLICATION.openNewWindow("<server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AdYT_ngQ7apFjtZGTB55ASU&sIDType=CUID&sInstance=Last");

Regards,

Mustafa.

Hi Mustafa,

Thanks for your reply, yes I have already tried this and works absolutely fine via BI LanuchPad.

But this doesn't work through Enterprise Portal (EP Portal). I logged in to my EP POrtal and didn't find an option to view the latest instance of webi like we can do from BI LaunchPad.

So any suggestions or tricks would be really helpful. 🙂

Hi Shubham,

You will not find an option for viewing the latest instance in EP. So are you viewing the WebI report in EP via an iView?

Hi Mustafa,

Yes, We are viewing Webi through iview. And I have further investigated the issue and I found that through EP portal webi link is changing from:

https://<Server>:<Port>/BOE/portal/1802151853/InfoView/listing/main.do?service=/common/appService.do...

To:

https://<Server>:<Port>/BOE/portal/1802151853/AnalyticalReporting/WebiView.do

On pressing F12 I am getting this error:

Hi Tammy,

Thanks for your reply. I have been able to achieve that

APPLICATION.openNewWindow("<server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AdYT_ngQ7apFjtZGTB55ASU&sIDType=CUID&sInstance=User");

but I came across another issue.

I am able to call the webi's latest instance while executing the dashboard via BI Launch Pad, but in case of EP Portal, it not opening.

My problem statement is, i dont want to refresh my webi because it takes around 5 mins to execute, . So I decided to call the latest instance of that webi via Dashboard so that my webi stores the latest data. But in EP Portal, I couldn't even look at the latest instance, it would only open the last saved version of the report.

So could you please suggest any work around or may be a way out to sort this thing?

Your help would be much appreciated.

It sounds like it is currently not designed to be used this way; which is why I recommended partner solutions below

[TammyPowlas]

I do not think this is currently possible; you can look at partner add-ons such as APOS or Visual BI that use Web Intelligence as a data source to Lumira Designer/Design Studio

Hi Tammy,

I think you got my question wrongly.

I want link a webi instance to a dashboard. this is a hyperlinking which we normally do. And allow me to mention my problem statement again.
