Xcelsius URL Button limitation

Former Member

Hello,

We are using URL button to pass varibles from Xcelsius model to WAD templates but we have a problem, we are not able to pass more than five variables because it looks like there is a limitation in number of characteristics that can be passed using a URL Button.

Is it true if yes do we have any work around?

Thanks for any input

Hai Suman,

The URL Button allows you to link to a URL within your model. when the button is clicked, the website specified opens in either the same window or new window. you can use a single URL, or link to a dynamic cell and have the visual model dynamically drive what URL the end user can open. Note that a user's ability to link to this information requires Internet connectivity.

All the best,

Praveen

The length of the URL depends on what web browser and what server software you are using. Some information follows: IE 7 with Tomcat: limit of about 740 characters (because "Get" is used, and more characters are added onto the URL in processing causing IE to reach the max of @1083 characters). With IE7 and IIS, the url can be a lot more characters (I haven't found the limit yet). Also, with Firefox and Chrome and Tomcat, the url can be a lot more characters. Hope this is helpful. The main thing to do is use preview mode and save your snapshot as an excel file. Then you can open the excel file and copy and paste your url into a web browser in order to debug. Hope this is helpful.
