I haven’t implemented anything like your requirement. I implemented Dashboard to dashboard,crystal and web report.

You can try the below scenario

In Web opendoc sysntax use IsSvar to send the valeue

and Can you try using Flash Variable in Xcelsius to catpure the prompt values and bind with Prompt for a query.

/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sKind=Flash&sDocName=XXXX&sWindow=New&lsSvar=[/i]

I have so much going around me and doesn’t have a chance to reply. I successfully tested the functionality for passing values from web I to dashboards.

I tested to pass couple of values,

For web Hyperlink: Servername:portnumber/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sKind=Flash&iDocID=157457&lsSvar=([Object 1 value])&lsSvar1=([Object2 value])

Svar and Svar1 are two flash variable to pass into dashboard

In the xcelsius select a data provider for flash variable and name it as var for instance

In the definition of flash variable, variable data ranges add two ranges one with var and other with var1(name should be same as syntax) and bond them with two cells in excel respectively.

And when your are binding the prompt cells for QAaws, bind them with above mentioned cells.

I am attaching the dashboard, I cannot send you the web I report.

Let me know if you have any questions
thanks,
Sunil

Hi BOxcelsius,

I tried your suggestion and it worked but not 100% because everytime I save the hyperlink as you specified this one gets cut. I mean this, this is the link I configured in the webi report:

http://boexir31:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sKind=Flash&iDocID=AexeSabh1j1Fj54fcG.ZGr4&sIDType=CUID&lsSvar1=[object1]&lsSvar2=[object2]

and then when I execute it it doesnt work so I check the configuration again and now the url is like this:

http://boexir31:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sKind=Flash&iDocID=AexeSabh1j1Fj54fcG.ZGr4&sIDType=CUID&lsSvar1=

I have done this several time with the same result, what could it be??

Nevertheless, if I put this url in a browser and type the rest of the url correctly then It works…

hope you have an answer for this…

regards,

bili

I was able to pass multiple values from webi and retrieve in Xcelsius using Flash Variables. Below link just works fine for me.

Iam using 3.1

OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sKind=Flash&iDocID=73681&lsSvar1=([Month -Year])&lsSvar2=([Year])

Thanks,
Sunil

Hi are you keeping any Hyper link in the dash board ?

By clicking the hyper we can pass the parameters from dash board to Crystal reports

or

using Bi work space are you doing by Content Linkin In Bi work space

Please advise :shock:
