The idea is to call from outside of Cognos the link of the report with some parameters. So the user will not need to put the parameters when he opens the report. They will automatically filter the parameters. Using URL parameters or something like that.
I'm using the IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1 R7.
Someone know if this is possible? Have some tutorial?
This is definitely possible! Every piece of content has a share URL, and report prompt parameters can be added to the URL. More info here:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.1.0?topic=mc-creating-custom-urls-display-run-cognos-analytics-content
at the end of your report name add the parameters with what you want to put in. for example: Even if you want to run it in PDF that I have put at the end of the URL:
&run.prompt=false&p_pTEST=ABC&p_pPROMPT=TEST&run.prompt=false&run.outputFormat=PDF

I would like to be able to print the Criteria information that I used in the footer of the PDF of a Saved Search. I have tried looking at making an Advanced PDF to handle this, but I cannot find the field to pull in the criteria information into either the Saved Search or the Advanced PDF. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have created a Saved Search in NetSuite that displays all of the Inventory Receipts made the previous week. We have to print this Saved Search and check it against the actual paper receipts to verify counts and receipts. When the Saved Search prints to PDF it does not show the criteria information for which the Saved Search was run to prove to Internal Audit that we have run this report for the correct dates. I would like a way to print the Criteria information for this Saved Search along with a timestamp of when the Saved Search was run and the users that ran the Saved Search. Is there a way to pull in this additional information in a Saved Search or Advanced PDF somehow?
add a custom Print button
button goes to a suitlet that renders the PDF
before you render, load the search and pass the search.filters in to addCustomDataSource() api of the render module
Ok, I read your edit and comment with regard to my comment. There's three big things here.
I don't think you should pursue a dev route with this. You can schedule the report for automated email once a day and prove that it came from a saved search which is the same saved search every time. This will save you an infinite amount of hassle
Developing this as your first script is going to be hard. I'm happy to help. But when I tell you it's going to be a lot of code, I mean it. See this old post I did https://stackoverflow.com/a/61066928/11323304
If you still want to pursue a dev route with this (which is totally fine), start with emulating the user event code on a custom suitelet like I posted above in my answer. You're going to need N/serverWidget/ui N/search and N/xml. The rest is all in the UserEvent functions and global context variable.
If all this still goes well over your head. Don't sweat it. Comment back, and we'll build something step by step. But, I highly, highly, highly encourage you to check out the automated email capabilities of NetSuite before trying to develop something special.
Is there a way to publish the amount of views/edits of a page in/on the page itself in xWiki?
I've used parts of this article to create an accessible form to see usages of different spaces. But I would also like to publish the views/edits on the pages itself.
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest you use an UIExtension point (see https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension%20Module and the tutorial https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/Tutorials/UIXTutorial/) from the list of available ones (https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/ExtensionPoint/) to add the extra information to be displayed on each page.
I guess the most suitable UIXP would be the Content Footer one (https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/ExtensionPoint/ContentFooterUIX/).
Inside the UIX you add, you can do a simple query to fetch the view/edit values from the statistics module (either with the API, if it exists) or with a HQL query, like in the example you've mentioned.
I have a form built in Kentico and want to change the form action to point to a marketing automation vendor website (eloqua) to process the form. I noticed that there's no way to change the Action on the Form app, so I thought of using js to replace the action dynamically. I'm not sure whether it'll work, but another immediate problem I have is the field name/id generated by Kentico is so long (> 70 characters - e.g. p$lt$ctl02$pageplaceholder$p$lt$ctl03$On_lineForm$viewBiz$Company$txtText) and exceeds the length allowed by the vendor. Is there a way to shorten those names/ids?
To clarify, the reason I need to edit the name because the vendor allows to map (copy/paste) html name to whatever name it's using. I've tried pasting the whole string from one Kentico field and got the error message of exceeding character limit.
First part of the question, how do i direct a form to submit to another site?
In ASP.Net, the only way is to use javascript to alter the 's action url. Since you want to be careful where you edit this, i would use jQuery to replace the "Submit" button on your form with a javascript function that will alter the form before submission (so you don't mess up other postbacks)
$("button.MySubmitButton").click(function() {
$("form").attr("action", "http://TheVendor.com/PostLocation");
});
Next question is to alter the field names. If you absolutely MUST have form element IDs sub 70 characters, you will have to use Javascript again and it will break any postback-related functionality of the elements, so make sure the form is "as is" before doing it.
Again there is security concern because when you post to another location, you are sending ALL the data, including hidden asp.net inputs that contain viewstates and the like. You may want to take the time to 'eliminate' right before you submit any field that you don't want sent to the other site.
Something like this (Test it out a bit first though)
$("input:not(id*='txtName'):not(id*='txtEmail'),select:not(id*='ddlQuestion')").remove();
As #trevor-j-fayas points out, you can use javascript to point a form action to another url. While this does work you may end up writing a lot of javascript to not only point the form to a new url but also to do some data massaging (changing id's, doing url formatting, etc) before sending it to the target.
Additionally you lose some of the benefits of using a Kentico Form because the data never actually gets submitted back to Kentico such as email alerts.
I have worked in a similar scenario where were we sending data to Eloqua but instead of doing it client side we did it from the server by using either:
The OnOnAfterSave event on the BizForm control itself
The global BizForm submit hook BizFormInfo.TYPEINFO.Events.Insert.After
After the form is submitted to Kentico, our custom hook code runs which sends the data to Eloqua. In either hook you can fully access the Form metadata, field names, and submitted values. You can then craft an HTTP POST request and submit it asynchronously using a class such as HttpClient.
Is not a good idea from the architecture stand point and most likely not going to work without opening a huge hole in their vendor web site security. First of all how are they going to process the from if they don't know the field names, what if form fields change etc. Secondly you going to run into hell of trouble trying to submit form one site to another etc. What if the vendor site is not responding etc.
What you need to do is submit the form back to kentico web site i.e. process it on kentico web site and send email notification with results to marketing automation vendor website (the easy way for now) and redirect user to vendor web site.
Redirection and email - you can do out of the box without any programming. Actually to do all the above requires no programming and you get all the information recorded on your Kentico site.
I have a reporting service in sharepoint integrated mode. How could I get report parameters via query strings? please explain it with some examples!
Thanks a lot in advanced!
Sending parameters to a report with values from a querystring can be done by prefixing the parameter with rp:
?rp:parameter=parameterValue
It is also possible to f.ex add a hidden filter webpart to your page that reads the querystring and sends the value to the report webpart.
For the future: Please let us know what you have tried and some more information about your problem instead of just asking the question and expecting to get a full answer.
When I replace the two options in this web call directly in the URL, I don't get the expected results.
https://secure.trademark-clearinghouse.com/tmch/public/labels?name=a%26b&jurisdiction=BX
Do I need to build a web form to use this web call?
Or am I replacing the options incorrectly?
Thanks.
Apparently you are using URL parameters to send some information
name=a%26b&jurisdiction=BX
means:
parameterName=parameterValue separed by "&" symbol.
in your case:
name="aɫb"
jurisdiction="BX"
If you want to just read that, will work without a form.
Any further explanation we will need more information about what do you want to do. But this symbol between the "a" and "b" is strange. As you can see here http://www.nicolas-hoffmann.net/utilitaires/codes-hexas-ascii-unicode-utf8-caracteres-usuels.php the code %26b is "ɫ" if you really want this in your data... it's okay.
