URL link in Xcelsius (to trigger WEBI report)

[Former Member]

I have a url button in the Xcelsius that load a WEBI report on the same server with the following url path.

http://cg01:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp.

We have 3-tier systems, so when I migrate the xcelsius from one server to another server, I need to manually change the server name 'cg01' respectively.

Is there a way I do not need to change the server name every time I do the migration or how to make the 'server name' dynamically change?

Thank you.

Hi Alex

Yes there is, just remove the http://<servername>; part to give

/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?..............

Remember though that this will only work from within InfoView.

Hi Charles,

This work but now the logon pop up windows is trigger before access to the Webi report. If I use the 'http:...', then I do not get the logon pop up windows.

Anyway to improve this?

Hi Alex

So the login box still shows even when launching the WebI report from Xcelsius within InfoView?

Is the WebI report in the same environment as the dashboard, and the DocId correct?

Hi Charles,

Yes, it is on the same environment.

I tested it in production and I do not get the prompt. I think it should be OK.

TQ for your valuable input.
