Passing paramers through a URL

[strom99]

Does anyone know if it is possible to pass multiple parameters (up to 10) through a URL using BO 5.1? We are currently using Crystal Reports 8.5 to do this in other applications but may consider using BO if it is possible.

It is possible to pass parameters to a businessobjects report viewed through webintelligence,

Below is an extract from an ASP page which passes in parameters which are used to open a full client report in webi and refresh with those parameters


sFileName = Server.HTMLEncode(Request.Form("Reports&quot)
sPeriod = Server.HTMLEncode(Request.Form("Periods&quot)
sType = Server.HTMLEncode(Request.Form("srpttype&quot)
sRegion = Server.HTMLEncode(Request.Form("Regions&quot)
sDealer = left(sFilename,5)


sPrompt1 = Server.URLEncode("Enter Period Id as YYYYMM&quot
sPrompt2 = Server.URLEncode("Which Dealer?&quot
sPrompt3 = Server.URLEncode("Enter text to search for&quot


Response.Redirect "

& sPrompt1 & "=" & sPeriod & "&lsS" & sPrompt2 & "=" & Server.URLEncode(sFilename) &"&lsS" & sPrompt3 & "=%"

Does this mean each user would need the full client on their desktop?
