18.5 Specifying a Report Request from a Web Browser

You can provide the user with the URL syntax needed to make a report request, or you can add the URL syntax to a Web page as a hyperlink.

URL syntax can be presented in the following forms:

  • Full URL request, for example:

    http://your_webserver.domain_name:port/alias/rwservlet?report=myreport.rdf&userid=
    username/password@my_db&server=server_name&desformat=html&destype=cache
    

    If you require additional command line keywords, then refer to Appendix A, "Command Line Keywords" for a list of valid rwservlet command line keywords.

  • Simplified URL request using key mapping, for example:

    http://your_webserver.domain_name:port/alias/rwservlet?key1
