Query and Report Viewer Calls

GetQueryViewer and getReportViewer, return a graphical viewer interface window similar to the CA Enterprise Log Manager interface. You can perform many of the tasks associated with reports or queries from this window. For more information about the available tasks, consult the CA Enterprise Log Manager API Online Help.

These calls provide external integration points with third-party portals and other applications. When using them, consider the following:

• Using certificate authentication means that the report or query viewer session does not time out as a CA Enterprise Log Manager session does. The application from which you call the event or query viewer controls the time-out, rather than the CA Enterprise Log Manager application.
• For security reasons, if you have not registered a third-party product with CA Enterprise Log Manager, these calls redirect to the login page. You can avoid the redirect to log in by using one of the following techniques:
  • Include the credentials attributes as a hidden field in every command. The API spindle automatically authenticates, which works with some portals that allow the setting of hidden fields.
  • Perform a command such as getVersion before launching or embedding the UI component and take appropriate action (such as reauthenticating behind the scenes) as needed.
