Hyperlink API usage in SAP Analytics Cloud

bosegsap — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 14:37:53 GMT

Friends

I have been trying to configure HYPERLINK option using parent report & child report using below use case

Models & Stories Info

1)Pmodel (parent model) say PO headers info

Pstory defined using Pmodel with objects such as (PO_Doc_No, PO_Doc_Date)

2)Cmodel(child model) say PO Lines info

Cstory defied using Cmodel with object such as(PO_Doc_No, Item_No)

Use-case

To identify all the PO_Line_Item_No's for each of the PO_Doc_No

How to achieve?

use "Hyperlink" Option with Story as option

Issue identified?

Unable to pass "Selected dimension as filter" from Pstory(PO_Doc_No) to Cstory

Could you suggest your experiences please

Regards

Bose

Hi Bose,
Have you watched this video yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlq91ar4tOc

This should work if you pass the PO_Doc_No from the Pmodel Pstory to the Cstory using the Open Story URL (https://help.sap.com/viewer/a4406994704e4af5a8559a640b496468/release/en-US) and the hyperlink.
I believe the "Selected dimension as filter" is only applicable for the same model.

Hi John

yes, I went through the video but it was more of linking only rather than passing parameter values.

even the help link doesn't clarify enough

Hi Bose,

Can you share the link you are using to pass parameter values to Cstory?

Kind regards,

Hi Bose,

if you have a model in your “from” story and you click the hyperlink and generate a dimension filter to another story that does not contain the same model, it will apply (as in, appear at the top) but do nothing at all.

This is not documented in the help but it will be added.

For now I suggest you use the Open Story URL api and pass the PO_Doc_No as a parameter to the URL:

i.e.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

John

Hi Martijn

Hyperlink being used in PStory on PO_Doc_No so that at run time navigation can be to Cstory based on user selection
