How to Access the Send Now Page of a Document using URL API in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1

Summary

Strategy Web 9.4.1 developers can use the Send Now functionality to immediately distribute a document using several channels by clicking on the button below:

This button will expose the Send Now page where users can pick the channel, format and other configurations for this delivery as shown below:

Strategy Web 9.4.1 developers can build a URL API link to access this page as described below.

How to build a URL API link to access the Send Now configuration page

To build the URL API link to access the Send Now page for a Report Services Document the following parameters with the following values are required:


Main.aspx?
evt=3037
&objectType=55
&objectSubType=14081

Depending on the scenario where the URL API is going to be used, developers can either specify the document using the message ID or the document ID. The message ID will normally be used when the link is included in the document that wants to be used for Send Now. The document ID will be used generally when the link will trigger the feature from a different document.
According to the description above append one of the following:
For scenario 1 using message ID:


&messageID={&DOCUMENTMESSAGEID}

For scenario 2 using document ID:


&objectID=XXXXXXXXXXX

Note: in the scenario above objectID has to be equal to the ID of the document.

Examples

In an ASP environment the URL API will look similar to the following:
For scenario 1 using message ID:


Main.aspx?
evt=3037
&objectType=55
&objectSubType=14081
&messageID={&DOCUMENTMESSAGEID}

For scenario 2 using document ID:


Main.aspx?
evt=3037
&objectType=55
&objectSubType=14081
&objectID=90760F0547C774CF0E45D8AC15FC8849

In a J2EE environment the URL API will look similar to:
For scenario 1 using message ID:


mstrWeb?
evt=3037
&objectType=55
&objectSubType=14081
&messageID={&DOCUMENTMESSAGEID}

For scenario 2 using document ID:


mstrWeb?
evt=3037
&objectType=55
&objectSubType=14081
&objectID=90760F0547C774CF0E45D8AC15FC8849

Note: The URL API links above are for Report Services Documents only.
