Creating direct links

To create a direct link:

  1. Find the unique name or ID of the report for which you want to create the direct link: Right-click the report in the Application Studio report catalog and select Properties.
  2. Open a web browser and open http://[servername]/[WebAliasName]/DirectLinkManager.aspx.
  3. Log on in the Log-on Parameters section of the page.
    It requires the same information as the login screen of the Application Studio client.
  4. Enter the report ID or unique name in the ReportID/Unique Name field.
  5. Select the parameters to include in the direct link. The DirectLink string is built in the DirectLink Query String field.
  6. Copy the DirectLink string from the DirectLink Query String field.
  7. Use the DirectLink string in the web page that will host the Application Studio report.
    Example: 
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/<year>/xhtml"> 
<head> 
<title></title> 
</head> 
<body> 
http://[servername]/WebServices/default.aspx?directLink=true&showLogin=
0&loginName=Admin&loginRepository=Sample&loginAuthSys=Basic&loginProject=
OLAP%20Demo&loginReportCatalog=Genesis%20Demo%20for%20Application%20Studio
&useStartReport=0&reportGUID=ABCAnalyze3&showTree=1&showTopFrame=1&InstanceId=1 
</body> 
</html>
