Locating the iDocID

building reports webintelligence
#1

Hi,

I want to use the OpenDocument function but I am unable to find the iDocID for the relevant reports.

I read in the BO documentation that you should be able to get it from the status bar by hovering over the report title in InfoView but all I see is ‘javascript:void(0);’

It also says that you should be able to retrieve the iDocID from the CMC but I cannot locate it under the objects properties.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This post relates to XIr2.

Cheers.

You should hover over the small arrow beside your report in infoview and look for the Number in your status bar…
and for getting it via the CMC you should use a Administrative tool called Query Builder to get the DocId.
Hope that helps,
Thanks,

  2. Right click on Name of tab and select Properties
  3. Click on View Source
  4. Scroll down to strDocID

Hope this will help.

Thanks very much for your help.

After finding the DocID using the HTML source in InfoView, I was able to see where you can obtain it in the CMC.

If you click on a report object, you can find information on the file name under the properties tab.

Eg

File Name: frs://Input/a_095/109/000/27999/cdz9144be4f149cb2e3.wid

In this case the DocID is ‘27999’.

Can someone confirm whether the CUID in the example above is ‘cdz9144be4f149cb2e3’ ?

Many thanks.

No Its not the CUID. As i replied you can get the CUID by using the Query Builder. Hope it helps.

You can get the ID of the report from CMC, you login from from there find the objects reports precisely and klik the objects (of the report) and hover from the Preview Button. And you will get like this:

http://:/jsfadmin/faces/adminPages/Webi/Preview.jsp?id=3896

and the word id is your report.

Hope this help.
