Hi,
I need to create a hyperlink in webi report without mentioning server name and port number and by mentioning report name.
We using the syntax to call a report by passing parameters:

I need a hyperlink to call a webi report from another, without passing any parameter. if there is any document available for this, please provide me the link
Could anyone help me for the hyperlink

Hi Ravi,
I have gone through the document, that document has clearly explained about hyperlink with server name and port number, but i need to create a hyperlink without mentioning the both.
If i mention server name and port number, i have to change the server name and port number when i migrate the report from one environment to another, but the hyperlink i have mentioned in my previous post, need not to be changed while migrating the report.
I have created the hyperlink only by passing server name and port number. i never created hyperlink as in mentioned format and i couldn't found any documents.
Please suggest if you have any idea about this.
Thanks
I believe the hyperlink wizard will create this for you in the WebI Interactive Viewer (web viewer in BI LaunchPad in Design Mode) and use a Document Link.
If you don't add parameters to be passed in the link, the link will be generated without the &lsS/&lsM tags and look something like this:
="<a href=\"../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AQh4BpG3bkBJu2gxUlPrdcg&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=N\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"doc\">"+[State]+"</a>"
The hyperlink wizard is the supported way to generate the openDoc links.
If you're playing around with the URL, you can take out the CUID reference and change it to the document name instead:
="<a href=\"../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=Yearly Revenue&sType=wid&sRefresh=N\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"doc\">"+[State]+"</a>"

I've just been working with openDoc issues for so many years...
But for BI 4.0, there is some documentation on our site:
The specific document is:
"Viewing Documents Using OpenDocument"
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp2_opendocument_en.pdf
It doesn't go into the detail you're looking for for a reference link (a link without using the server name port), but the reference does not change if you're launching from within BILaunchPad - it will always be "../../opendoc"
Anytime you run into issues with an openDocument link, I would recommend generating the base link in the Hyperlink Wizard in the "Design Mode" of the WebI web viewer first and then build on it from there.
I hope that helps!
Carly
