Webi 4.0 Passing parameters - how the heck ! does it work or not ?

47 Views

dear all

i am knew to all this, quite capable of reading manuals, and an ex ABAPer in SAP.

but when it comes to trying to pass a single parameter to a Webi report, based upon the new open document v4.0 syntax, it has finally got me.

it seems i am not alone either.

this works, and opens the webi with the full contents

http://localhost:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AXofXym2kBRLuR4NwFiMPwo&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid

i have tried both, a "new parameter" and a universe parameter, based upon my dimension "State", with no such luck on the underlying webi query filter.

i thought i would only have to add "&lsSState=VIC" (no including the quotes), for it to filter my records for the state Victoria (no points for guessing where i am). But no. I still get all the same old records.

then i tried *District=VIC", still the same old records without applying the query filter.

so what am i doing wrong ! please ! help !

thanks
