Managing Global Integration Tokens
The Global Integration Tokens feature enables creation of parameterized URLs. The URLs can be used for a variety of purposes, including launching OBIEE reports which require provision of parameters in order to display filtered report content.
When creating the URL, the parameters are inserted into the URL. When the URL is clicked, the parameters are replaced with the appropriate values.
For example, the following is an excerpt of the parameters:
…$YearName$%22%22Period%20Name%22&val6=%22$PeriodName$%22&col17=%22Logical%20Schedules%22.%22Year%20Name%22&val7=%22$Y earName$%22&col8=%22Logical%20Schedules%22.%22Deployment%20Name%22&val8=%22$ ScheduleName $%22
where
$YearName$ = 2012
$PeriodName$ = Jan12
$ScheduleName$ = DemoSchedule
The URL becomes:
…%222012%22%22Period%20Name%22&val6=%22Jan2012%22&col7=%22Logical%20Schedules%22.%22Year%20Name%22&val7=%222012%22&col8=%22Logical%20Schedules%22.%22Schedule%20Name%22&val8=%22DemoSchedule%22
Parameters can be configured from static parameters defined in your application, attributes of type Text and List, and the following native attributes assigned to Tasks, Templates, and Schedules:
-
Period Name
-
Schedule Name
-
Task Name
-
Task ID
-
Year Name
You can access URLs from the following locations:
