KB272432: The Link property for Intelligence cubes to create Visual Insight dashboards is missing in MicroStrategy Web 10.


Community Admin

• Strategy


In MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1, users could right click an Intelligence cube to create a URL API call that would allow users to automatically create a Visual Insight dashboard using that same cube. However, in MicroStrategy Web 10, this 'Link' property is no longer available for Intelligence cubes

SYMPTOM:
In Strategy Web 9.4.1, users could right click an Intelligence cube to create a URL API call that would allow users to automatically create a Visual Insight dashboard using that same cube, as shown below:

However, in Strategy Web 10, this 'Link' property is no longer available for Intelligence cubes, as seen below:

CAUSE:
This is an identified defect in Strategy Web 10.
WORKAROUND:
Use the following URL to achieve the same functionality in Strategy Web 10:
For Strategy Web ASP


http://<web server name>/MicroStrategy/asp/Main.aspx?Server={&ServerName}&Project={&Project}&Port=0&src=Main.aspx.3104

For Strategy Web JSP

http://<web server name>:port/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWeb?Server={&ServerName}&Project={&Project}&src=mstrWeb.3104

The following are the parameters required:

&evt=3104 
&executionMode=1 
&rwDesignMode=0 
&objectType=3 
&rwCreateFlags=16 
&rwViewMode=2048
&objectID= 

Specify the objectID  in the above parameter with the object ID of the Intelligence cube. This can be obtained by right clicking the cube > Properties > ID.
 
In version 10.4 the event code has been changed to 3185 instead of 3104
Note: This URL assumes that a session is already established and that the user has the necessary privileges to create a Visual Insight dashboard.
 
For more infomation on URL API in general, click here .
Note: Using the above URL will initially create the VI dashboard using the flash-based interface, as shown below:

However, save the dashboard, close it, and rerun it from the folder browsing page and It will open up in HTML 5, as shown below:

The Strategy Internal Reference Number for the issue discussed in this technical note is DE24152.
