I have an existing web report and I would like to make that report available to our corporate IT dashboard. Is there a way I can make that retrievable via the SOAP API so they can present the data?
I just don’t want to have to write the relevance of something that was already so easy to build in WR.
@masonje, there is SOAP API or other API calls to access the results of Web Reports output.
Here is an idea.
Can the IT dashboard include Web Reports as an iframe?
Then you can define a user within Web Reports with restricted capabilities, and hardcode the credentials into a Web Reports URL.
For example, this is the URL of a report your have:
http://maze:52312/webreports?page=CustomReport&ReportID=20#filterManager=ec269ec8fe2a07fbef4ce17cdcf4292adfae4abd&reportInfo=1f522f5de936f64f7eda101d00584564169950c3
Add the username and password parameters:
http://maze:52312/webreports?Username=myusername&Password=mypassword&page=CustomReport&ReportID=20#filterManager=ec269ec8fe2a07fbef4ce17cdcf4292adfae4abd&reportInfo=1f522f5de936f64f7eda101d00584564169950c3
That’s a possibility. We could do an iframe and set the page to refresh X minutes. Would still love to find a way to get the web report raw data that’s feeding that page so we could apply our own CSS to it.
I don’t know if I’m missing something with the parameters to get the most recent data, but is there a way to not get the “You are not viewing the latest version of this report. Click here to view the latest version.” at the top?
That said, I think I may put in an RFE for this. It would be cool to get the “Tuple” responses like you get in a normal query. This could help drive simpler query creation.
