Adding the Server Component for the Drill Through URL

Use these steps to define the server component drill through URL in Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition. The server component is added to the source system definition.

Note:

To add a drill through URL:

1. On the Setup tab, under Register, select Source System.
2. Select the file to which to add the drill through.
3. In Drill Through URL, click .
4. In Drill Through URL edit window, specify the URL that identifies the URL to use for drilling through.

   The URL to use needs to include the request-response method, protocol, and the resource name.

   The protocol identifier indicates the name of the protocol used to fetch the resource. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) typically serves up the hypertext documents. HTTP is just one of many various protocols used to access different types of resources. Other protocols include a file.

   Available request-response between a client and server methods are:

   • GET—Form data is encoded into the URL. For example, specify: GET@http://www.server.com/. If no method is specified, then GET is the assumed request-response.

   • POST—Form data is displayed in the message body. For example, specify: POST@http://www.server.com/.

   The resource name is the complete address to the resource. The format of the resource name depends entirely on the protocol used, but for many protocols, including HTTP, the resource name contains one or more of the following components:

   • Host Name—Specify the name of the machine on which the resource lives.

   • File Name—The path name to the file on the machine.

   • Port Name—The port number to which to connect (typically optional).

   When specifying the resource information, use this format: http://<SERVER>:<PORT>

   This URL identifies the server component of the drill through URL. In the import format, you include the detail component.

5. Click OK and then click Save.
