Visual Discovery Problem

This is my first time posting to the this Forum.
I have a Visual Discovery question or problem. I'm trying to pass variables from a focexec to a Visual Discovery page so that I can limit what is displayed based on the person running the request. For some reason the code will not restrict the data and is showing all records and not filtering out any. Below is the code that I'm executing. The variables are passed in the function window_onload(). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Denise,

I didn't go through all of your code because that is not an area of expertise for me. But as I understand it, VisDis uses a static file for its input and its location is hard-coded in the html file. The only way that you could alter it would be to run a fex from the page above that re-creates the file with just the contents that you want.

Hi DeniseJ,

Here is information from product manager: The issue with dynamically filtering data in Visual Discovery is that the data is loaded into the Visual Discovery the first time the page is loaded and can then only be accessed via the Visual Discovery API. The data source is static and therefore cannot be changed after the page loads. However, with using real-time data via a WebFOCUS Procedure, the Visual Discovery web page can be drilled down to or updated in-page by reloading the Visual Discovery web page and re-executing the procedure.

The following online document may be of interest as well:
VisDis: Create a Web page based on live data vs. a text file

To obtain an example, please contact Information Builders' Customer Support Serivce and open a case for it. You may either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access the online system InfoResponse. Here is a list of information to be ready when you call: http://techsupport.ibi.com/before_you_call.jsp

Hope this helps. Many thanks for Ginny's help too. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry

Kerry,

Thanks a bunch for that additional link. We are about to get started with VizDiz here. I poured over the samples and the doc and this new piece will really be helpful in lieu of training.
