Sample URLs

CA Automation Suite for Clouds packages boxireporting.jsp which uses OpenDocument to generate URLs for Crystal reports and Web Intelligence documents. OpenDocument is one of many deployed web applications within a BusinessObjects Enterprise system. This third-party component processes incoming URL requests for documents and delivers the correct document to the end user in the appropriate viewer. You can link to many viewable object types with the OpenDocument syntax. The file type of the target document is expected to be a web intelligence document (*wid). The target document will be refreshed when it is rendered. This behavior has been leveraged from the OpenDoc parameters sType and sRefresh.

Specifies a range of values for a prompt. [NAME] is the text of the prompt. Separate the range of values for the prompt by a double period (..)
