KB14676: How to use default prompt answer when executing a report in MicroStrategy Web SDK 9.x

The example provided in this document is provided “as-is” to the user and assumes that the user:

• Can program, compile (e.g. javac, jikes, etc.), and execute Java programs
• Can configure environment variables (e.g. JAR files, property files, etc.)
• Have all the necessary tools to create Java applications (JDK, IDE, etc.)
• Has access to the Strategy SDK documentation.
• Has read the customization warning at the bottom of this document

 
PREREQUISITES:
 
For the sample to work, the Strategy Web JAR files must be accessible by the Java Runtime
Environment. The Strategy Web JAR files can be found under:

• Strategy Web Universal (JSP): {web_root}/WEB-INF/lib directory.
• Strategy Web (.NET): Program Files\Common Files\Strategy directory.

Note:
 
More elaborate programs will require additional library files and are out of the scope of this document.
 
The sample code below illustrates how to execute prompted report with default prompt answers without waiting for end user's input or supplying prompt answer XML in Strategy Web SDK 9.x. This can be accomplished by setting execution flag EnumDSSXMLExecutionFlags.DssXmlExecutionDefaultPrompt on WebReportSource object, as shown below:

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebIServerSession;

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsException;

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsFactory;

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebReportData;

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebReportInstance;

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebReportSource;

import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLAuthModes;

import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLExecutionFlags;

import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLResultFlags;

 

public class RunPromptedReport {
 

public static void main(String[] args) throws WebObjectsException {
 

WebObjectsFactory objectFactory = WebObjectsFactory.getInstance();
 

WebIServerSession serverSession = objectFactory.getIServerSession();

serverSession.setServerPort(0);

serverSession.setAuthMode(EnumDSSXMLAuthModes.DssXmlAuthStandard);

serverSession.setProjectName("Strategy Tutorial");

serverSession.setLogin("administrator");

serverSession.setPassword("");

serverSession.setServerName("test");

 

WebReportSource reportSource = objectFactory.getReportSource();
 

reportSource.setExecutionFlags(EnumDSSXMLExecutionFlags.DssXmlExecutionUpdateCache | EnumDSSXMLExecutionFlags.DssXmlExecutionUseCache | EnumDSSXMLExecutionFlags.DssXmlExecutionDefaultPrompt);

reportSource.setResultFlags(EnumDSSXMLResultFlags.DssXmlResultGrid | EnumDSSXMLResultFlags.DssXmlResultStatusOnlyIfNotReady);

 

WebReportInstance reportInstance = reportSource.getNewInstance("500B9C4E4A96FE5FDE4F1FBD602D1C0A");
 

reportInstance.setMaxWait(-1);

int status = reportInstance.pollStatus();

WebReportData reportData = reportInstance.getResults();

serverSession.closeSession();

}

}
