I have a portal page with 2 panels and 9 reports each on a seperate tab. I only want to refresh the first report Panel 2, Tab_1_1 when I click the run button in Panel 1. I have seen in the manuals I can use BipIframeInterface.REFRESH_ARRAY, but how do I write/ store data in this array? Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

I have the same issue as the OP - How to set up function call for refresh type REFRESH_ARRAY?

The BIP manual only gives an example of refresh type 'REFRESH_ALL_BUT_SELF'.

The manual lists four other refresh types, but doesn't seem to indicate how the parm(s) to be sent to the refresh function, may or may not change.

Hi,
Question - does the "Run" button have target also? Like execute report in that Panel 2? In that case you can use "target" in HTML composer.

@Jasen – Thank you for the update.

@SSander – Thank you for your thoughts. I am using the 'run button' you get automatically, when you create a form in HTML Composer. I do not see 'target' as one of its listed properties. In any event, the BIP Portal manual seems to want you to create a JavaScript function, which is triggered upon clicking the run button. Jasen's and my question has to do with setting up a call to an IB supplied function, which is run from the triggered function.

Here is what support sent me. I have not gotten this to work yet as I get a Object Expected error.


function refreshReports(){
var name = this.window.name;
var frameArray = ["Panel_7_2"];
parent.BipIframeInterface.setAllAmpersValues(name,
IbComposer_getAllAmpersValues(), parent.BipIframeInterface.AMPERS_PAGE_ONLY);
parent.BipIframeInterface.refresh(parent.BipIframeInterface.REFRESH_ARRAY,
name, frameArray, parent.BipIframeInterface.AMPERS_PAGE_ONLY);
}

frameArray is just an array of strings with the names of the frames you want
to
refresh (for REFRESH_ARRAY), or those you want to exclude (for
REFRESH_ALL_BUT_ARRAY)


It can be declared like this:
var frameArray = ["frame1", "frame2", "frame3"];

Also:
The last parameter in setAllAmpersValues and refresh -
parent.BipIframeInterface.AMPERS_PAGE_ONLY - is just to optimize the
execution,
it can be left out entirely.

I finally got this to work. I was trying to use it with a tabbed report. I had to delete the old tab and create a new one for it to work for some reason.

Thats great Jasen.

I got my refresh, for one particular panel working as well. Here is the code that worked for me:
function refreshReports(){
 var name = this.window.name;
 var frameArray = ["Panel_7_2"];
// Refresh only Panel 7 2.  
 parent.BipIframeInterface.setAllAmpersValues(name, IbComposer_getAllAmpersValues());
 parent.BipIframeInterface.refresh(parent.BipIframeInterface.REFRESH_ARRAY, name, frameArray);
}

Is there a way to just get some of the ampers?


 
IbComposer_getAllAmpersValues
