Re: Calling a Webi Report from Dashboards without login Prompt

Hi Dipti,

What URL you use to login to BI Launch Pad? Are you using exact same server name and port number in open document url? What server name and port you are using for live data connections in the Dashboard?

I have SAP BI 4.1 and Dashboard Design 4.1 environment. Did following two quick tests which may help you to narrow down the issue:

• Test 01: (Webi report does not prompt for password)

Used following link in Xcelsius Dashboard to open Webi Report. Opened Xcelsius Dashboard from BI Launch Pad, clicked on Webi open document link and found that Webi Report opens without any issue. Webi Report does not prompt for password.

http://172.31.172.35:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AS4PGKt7sDVKlpYZy7gIn4c&sIDType=CUID

• Test 02: (Webi report does not prompt for password)

Passed CELogonToken from Dashboard to Webi Report using CELogonToken parameter:

Steps:

     1. Added Flash Variable connection to the dashboard

     2. Added Flash Variable and named it as CELogonToken

     3. Mapped above flash variable with excel cell. (Say B2)

     4. Concatenated value of cell B2 to the open document url to the Webi report.

http://172.31.172.35:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AS4PGKt7sDVKlpYZy7gIn4c&sIDType=CUID&CELogonToken=<Append value of cell B2>

     5. Mapped above URL with URL Button Component and exported the dashboard to BOE Server.

1. 6. Opened Dashboard from BI Launchpad, clicked on URL Button Component and found that Webi Report opens without any issue and it does not prompt for password.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
