gl_drillbackX_process custom setting

Use the gl_drillbackX_process custom setting to specify the name of the Application Engine process that triggers the drillback action.

The process must accept these string inputs:

  • Data connection name
  • Cube name
  • Slicers .xml
  • Parameters

The value for the gl_drillbackX_process custom setting is GL_DrillbackBasedOnTemplate. You can find this value in the Application Studio. The value supports parameters of multiple source systems.

The GL_DrillbackBasedOnTemplate procedure uses the .xml file defined in the corresponding gl_drillback1_parameter setting. The process updates the .xml file based on the selected context in the standard report and generates an output .xml file with gl_drillback1_parameter setting placeholders replaced by actual context data.

X represents a number from 1 to 3. You can define up to three drillback actions.

Each drillback action uses a matching pair of the gl_drillbackX_process and gl_drillbackX_parameter settings. Settings used for the same drillback action must contain the same number, for example, drillback1_process and drillback1_parameter.
