[SOLVED] HTML List of My Report

Hello,

Is there a way to create an HTML list of 'My Reports' from within DevStudio? The report names should be a hyperlink to the actual report. So far I have only been able view the 'My Reports' section in a Domain Tree format and wanted to see if anyone had created a list using HTML.

Thank you,

Elizabeth Cosain

You can do that using the APP LIST and APP QUERY commands.

In release 8 we have an option to populate a control with procedure names and at runtime, the selected procedure will run.

I don't see how you can get a list of My Reports in a version less than v8. The APP LIST suggestion won't work because the My Reports are stored somewhere in Managed Reporting, not on the application server.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick responses.

I was able to create an HTML report (from DevStudio) that used the following url and it seems to work.

 http://server:port/ibi_apps/Co...WORP_STANDALONE_TREE


But it is in the domain tree format. I thought there may be a way to format this to hide the Standard Reports and only show My Reports in a non collapsable format.

I don't think that upgrading to version 8 is possible for us right now. But if it were, do you know where I could see a sample of this working in version 8?

Thank you,

Elizabeth

Could you please edit your last post and put the URL between
[CODE]
your url here
[/CODE]
tags so that we can see the proper URL?

This URL does not look like it executes a "report" - it's a link to the B.I. Dashboard tree. If it is indeed a report, please tell us how you created this from Dev Studio?

Thanks,


Francis

Hello,

I updated the url on my previous post.

In DevStudio I created an HTML report and added a listbox to it. In the properties window I changed the Data type to 'Dynamic' and selected 'Other' (instead of Embedded procedure or External Procedure) and placed the url in the 'Custom Library' area.

When I run the HTML report from Managed Reporting it gives me a tree domain that shows Standard and My Reports.

Thanks,

Elizabeth

Hello,

Would something like the logic on this post work?
https://forums.informationbuilders.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7971057331/m/7391015861?r=7391015861#7391015861  


I tried to run the latest code but it did not work. Would it need to updated for 7.7.3?

Thank you,

Elizabeth Cosain

Hello,

I figured out how to create a list of My Reports that is hyperlinkable!!

I used the information on the following case to get started.

 http://forums.informationbuild...391015861#7391015861 


I used Francis' code to create the Master file and to get a list of the reports.

To create the hyperlinks for version 7.7.3 I used the following logic.

 

  '<a target="_blank" href="' ||
  'https://####.#####.com/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_LAUNCH_CGI&|IBIMR_action=MR_RUN_FEX&|IBIMR_domain=untitled/untitled.htm&|IBIMR_folder=%23.olapSavedParameters' ||
  '&|IBIMR_fex=' ||  MRE_PROG_ID ||
  '&|IBIMR_flags=parmrpt%2Crestrictdev%2CisFex%3Dfalse%2CrunPowerPoint%3Dfalse&|IBIMR_sub_action=MR_MY_REPORT&|WORP_MRU=true&|IBIMR_prompting=XMLRUN&&|WORP_MPV=ab_gbv' ||
  '&&|IBIMR_random=' || RANDOM1 ||
-*'&|IBIMR_user=admin&|IBIMR_pass=' ||
  '">' || MRE_PROG_ID || '</a>';
 


Some of the code will be different for other environments but for us the only thing that will change is the username so this works for us so far.

I also changed the FILEDEF command to the following.
Previous:
 
FILEDEF MREBASEDIR DISK &MR_BASE_DIR.EVAL\&MREBASEDIR.EVAL\&MREBASEDIR.EVAL.htm 


Updated way:

  
FILEDEF BASEDIRUSERHTM DISK C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\basedir\&MREBASEDIR.EVAL.htm


I have to clean it up but it seems to be giving me what I need. I thought I would post this in case this could be useful to others with the same request.

Thanks,

Elizabeth Cosain

I may have an updated-to-v7703 version of the master, I'll post it to the other thread if I do.

I'm glad this worked for you Elizabeth, and thanks for the great idea of using it for the My Reports list - I didn't think of that!

Cheers,


Francis
