Set User Credentials for Executing a Fixed Link

  • System Manager is in Operating mode.
  • You created fixed links for an external web application.
  • You want to execute (automatically or manually) and download an external web application fixed link report. To do this you must first set the relevant fixed link to be executed with user credentials.
  1. In System Browser, select Application View.
  1. Select Applications > Links > [fixed link].
  • The Application Viewer tab displays.
  1. Click Set Credentials .
  1. In the Web Viewer dialog box, enter a user name and password.
    NOTE: You must choose a user with the appropriate privileges. Make sure you create a password that will not expire in the near future because once a user password expires, reports will not execute correctly.
  1. In the Extended Operation tab, specify the parameter values for the link.
  • The user credentials are set for the link and parameter values specified.
    NOTE: In the Operating mode, you can run a report in the Application Viewer by selecting the link from Applications > Links, if the value of the P2 parameter is set to HTML. However, if the value of the P2 parameter is set to any other value (for example, XLSX, DOCX, PDF), then you cannot run the report in the Application Viewer. In this case, you can run the report by clicking Execute in the Extended Operation pane, and specifying the required parameter values.
