Execution of BOE report from command line with params

[kerplooey]

Has anyone been able to accomplish this? I know you can use the SDK to run through asp (et al) and do it but can you do it command line or through Oracle?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi,
In XI I could use a URL like this even though the promptex- method was depreciated( your specifics will vary depending on your installation paths and security settings):

[URL unfurl="true"]Http://<YOURBOESERVER>/businessobjects11/viewrpt.cwr?ReportID=<YOURREPORTID>&USER=guest&promptex-yourparamname>=<VALUE>,...[/URL]

Add a promptex-paramname=value for each param in that report.

Thanks!

This works if you call the url through the browser, but is there a way to call it via command line in unix or windows?

No, there is no way to call it via a command line. You would have to either invest in a third-party application (a good place to start looking for one is

or write an application using the SDK to run the report - there are both Java and .NET SDK's available. There's also a COM SDK, but it's deprecated so it will be going away sometime in the future.
