Query and Report Viewer Calls
GetQueryViewer and getReportViewer, return a graphical viewer interface window similar to the CA User Activity Reporting Module 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 User Activity Reporting Module 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 User Activity Reporting Module session does. The application from which you call the event or query viewer controls the time-out, rather than the CA User Activity Reporting Module application.
- For security reasons, if you have not registered a third-party product with CA User Activity Reporting Module, 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.
