Title: Running parameterised Reports by throwing SOAP
Post by: Rutulian on 16 Mar 2011 09:49:27 AM

Dear Chums,

Is the SDK the only way to run parameterised reports programmatically?

I'm trying to run a number of different reports, basically all with a parameter for which quarter to consider. This will be the same for all of them, but could change from run to run.

Is a nice way to hit the gateway with some GET requests that include the prompt values?

It seems a very simple task to need a full SDK license for - I don't want to go manipulating my report specs, just run 'em with parameters.

Thanks,
Alexis

Have you looked at parameterized URLs?
