OBIEE GO URL Examples

Integrating Analytics Reports using Go URL syntax Analytics supports a versatile “Go URL” syntax to incorporate Analytics content into external portals. Go URL with parameters can be posted as a Form or Issue it as a URL with parameters. If you are issuing parameters as part of a URL, they need to be escaped properly. Calling GO URL When calling from within Analytics Dashboard or HTML view simply use the URL saw.dll?GO When calling from another screen from the same Web server then use the syntax /analytics/saw.dll?Go When calling from a different Web server the use full syntax http://server_name_or_ip_address/Analytics/saw.dll?Go Authentication with the GO URL It is assumed that Analytics Web site has Single Sign On (SSO) enabled within corporate web-sites.Single Sign On authentication information is not required as a part of the “Go URL”. If Single Sign On is not enabled then additional authentication parameters must be supplied with the Go URL http://server_name_or_ip_address/Analytics/saw.dll?Go&NQuser=xxx&NQPassword=xxx Structure of the Go URL Basic structure of the Go URL is as follows: saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport Here, the path is the catalog path for the Analytics report ParameterReport. This basic URL syntax displays the default result view for the report in standard style. There are number of optional arguments to this URL syntax Displaying Report Results in different format Display ‘Modify’, Download’ ‘Print’, ‘Refresh’ options along with the report saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Options=mdr Print report in HTML format saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=print Print in xx format, where xx=PDF,Excel, mht or xml saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=print&format=pdf saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=print&format=excel saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=print&format=mht saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=print&format=xml Download report directly in the xx Format where xx= Excel, csv or mht saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=download&format=csv saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=download&format=excel saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=download&format=mht Note that download does not support filters to be passed from the GO URL Showing specific view of the report saw.dll?Go& Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport &ViewName=pivot Displaying all the records in a table view saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport &Action=Scroll&P5=-1&ViewID=go~Table Displaying Dashboard or Dashboard Pages Syntax for displaying entire Dashboard or specific Dashboard pages URL syntax is saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Training/_Portal/Training Displaying specific Dashboard page saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Training/_Portal/Training&Page=Sales%20by%20Region Displaying specific Dashboard page in PDF format saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Training/_Portal/Training&Page=Sales%20by%20Region&Action=print&format=pdf Passing Parameters to the Report using Go URL optional argument The Go URL can also be used to pass context such as filters to a destination request. This is done by adding additional parameters to the call. You need to make sure that any columns you are passing are set up in the destination with Is Prompted filters, or specific default filters. Up to 6 parameters can be passed to the target report New syntax for GO URL in addition passing the parameters only supported in OBIEE 10.1.3.2 or above New syntax for Go URL in Analytics. You can now pass as many parameters and values as you want note the syntaxt &col1=&val1= http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2Fshared%2FSupplier%2FRegionDollars&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221999%22&op1=eq&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator Also an operator can be included in the URL, default is ‘eq’ if op1 etc. are not includedhttp://webserver /analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2Fshared%2FSupplier%2FRegionDollars&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221998%22&op1=gt&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator The syntax is pretty flexible and can include as many parameters and operators there is no limit http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2F_portal&Page=TestPrompts&Action=Navigate&col1=Markets.Region&val1=%22EASTERN%20REGION%22&col2=Markets.District&val2=%22PHILADELPHIA%20DISTRICT%22&col3=Markets.Market&val3=%22PHILADELPHIA%22&col4=Periods.%22Year%22&val4=%222001%22&col5=Periods.%22Month%22&val5=%222001-03-01%22&col6=Periods.Week&val6=%22WEEK%20ENDING%2003%2F10%2F01%22&col7=Products.Type&val7=%22COATINGS%22&col8=Products.Brand&val8=%22Enterprise%22&col9=Products.UPC&val9=%22Enterprise%20Steel%20Gloss%22&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2FAllPromptTestReport&Action=Navigate&col1=Markets.Region&val1=%22EASTERN%20REGION%22&col2=Markets.District&val2=%22PHILADELPHIA%20DISTRICT%22&col3=Markets.Market&val3=%22PHILADELPHIA%22&col4=Periods.%22Year%22&val4=%222001%22&col5=Periods.%22Month%22&val5=%222001-03-01%22&col6=Periods.Week&val6=%22WEEK%20ENDING%2003%2F10%2F01%22&col7=Products.Type&val7=%22COATINGS%22&col8=Products.Brand&val8=%22Enterprise%22&col9=Products.UPC&val9=%22Enterprise%20Steel%20Gloss%22&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator Old syntax for passing parameters works both in OBIEE and previous releases e.g. 7.7, 7.8, 10.1.3.1 etc. Pass one parameter saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Periods.Year&P3=1+1999 Pass 2 parameters saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&Action=Navigate&P0=2&P1=eq&P2=Periods.Year&P3=1+1999&P4=eq&P5=Customers.State&P6=1+CA Here the operator P1=eq can be of different type as documented in the Siebel Analytics Web Admin guide e.g. like, lt, gt etc. saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Training/ParameterReport&options=md&Action=Navigate&P0=2&P1=eq&P2=Customers.State&P3=1+CA&P4=like&P5=Products.Type&P6=1+”B%” Include the numeric parameter value in “ e.g. &P2=Periods.Year&P3=”1998” Also position Like operator at the end of the parameter list. Passing parameter to a Dashboard prompt If a Dashboard is using prompts then values can be passed to it similar to above syntax as follows http://webt43/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Training/_Portal/Training&Page=Filters&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Products.Type&P3=Beef Issuing Direct SQL to Siebel Analytics using URL syntax Following URL syntax can also be used to directly issue a SQL against Analytics saw.dll?Go&SQL=select+Region,Dollars+from+SupplierSales following URL will bypass web cache and issued directly to the Analytics server saw.dll?Go&IssueRawSQL=select+Region,Dollars+from+SupplierSales Calling BI Publisher reports directly similar to GO URL URL to directly call a BI Publisher report. It will prompt the login screen if BI publisher is not single sign-on with the calling app http://webserver:9704/xmlpserver/Business+Intelligence/Paint+Demo/Paint+Demo.xdo Calling BI publisher report from OBIEE URL similar to Go URL syntax Use ExecuteReportObject syntax http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?ExecuteReportObject&Path=/Business%20Intelligence/Paint%20Demo/Paint%20Demo.xdo New syntax for Go URL in Analytics. You can now pass as many parameters and values as you want note the syntaxt &col1=&val1= http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2Fshared%2FSupplier%2FRegionDollars&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221999%22&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator Calling a Dashboard page works the same way. If Page has some prompts then those can also be filtered using new syntax http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2F_portal&Page=page2&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221999%22 If a page has only a BI publisher report and also has a prompt then You can pass filters to the BI publisher report using Go URL syntax as below http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2F_portal&Page=page2&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221999%22 Thanks, Satya Ranki Reddy
