Instructions

See below for step-by-step instructions on how to perform this call, using a Java example:

Expand
titleStep-by-step instructions
  • Here's a basic request to perform this call, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    ReportServiceRequest rsr = new ReportServiceRequest();
     
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
    rsr.setPassword("test");
    rsr.setOrgId(new Integer(1));
    
    rsr.setReportRequest("LOADPARENTDASHBOARDTAB");
  • If you need to specify the client org where the report exists, add this to your code:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setOrgRef("org1");      // search for the report in this client org



  • Specify which dashboard tab's details to fetch:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setDashboardTabId(70080);



  • Once the request is configured, carry out the call:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    ReportServiceResponse rs=rsc.remoteReportCall(rsr);

    Initialize the Report web service. Click here to learn how to do this. 

 

  • The response returned will contain the following parameters: StatusCode, Dashboard, Subtabs. (See the Response Parameters table above for more details.)


Complete Example

Below is a full example of this function. To use it for yourself, carry out the following the steps:

  1. Copy the code and save it as ws_loadparentdashboardtab.jsp.
  2. Put the file in the root folder, which is Yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT.
  3. Adjust host, port, and admin user to add details according to your environment.
  4. Run http://<host>:<port>/ws_loadparentdashboardtab.jsp from your Internet browser.
