Can we pass Cognos report values from Charts to the external web application

[laks]

Hi

I want to know whether we can pass report values to the external web applications. I know we can do it using HTML or Hyperlink. My question is can we do it on Charts?

What I am trying to achieve is similar to Drill-Through but the only difference is instead of Cognos report I want to call external application.

I appreciate your thoughts

Thanks in advance.

Drillthroughs will only work between reports. What you can do is build a bridging report.

Create a new report with a query that contains the parameters you need to pass.

On the report page create a singleton, and include all of the query items in the properties.

Add an HTML Item, with source type set to Report Expression:

'<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url="http://your.link.here/pageparams?Param1='; + [Query1].[Parameter1] + '&Param2=' + paramValue('Parameter2') + '">'

The same idea could be used for an iFrame, or any other valid HTML.
