How to launch a node in TM1 Applciation using URL?

[sachin]

We are migrating our EP application to TM1 10.1.1 Application with approval hierarchy.

We had a very handy feature available in EP - which is explained in one of the proven practice doc in IBM. This feature lets users launch an EP contributor node from Cognos BI reports. See below screenshot

Is it possible to launch a TM1 Application (aka Contributor) node using URL? In developers guide there is a good information on using URL to launch cube viewers in TM1 Web. But there is no section explaining how to do it in TM1 Application! In TM1 Applications guide, there is no mention of URL at all.

I can successfully code to launch a cubeviewer in TM1 web. But with this approach there are some limitation

• All the buttons available in TM1 Application are not available - which is a big drawback
• TM1 Application can have multiple cubeviews in it. but with TM1 web URL APIs, I can only launch one cubeviewer

This feature in EP is very helpful for our power users, they can run a report, see which CC is having aberration in number and who can go to the eList by clicking on the link in the BI report. We'd like to do this with TM1 applciation. I found lot of posts in this forum with TM1 web and URL; but I coudn't see any one with TM1 Application/Contributor.

Thanks much!

Turns out no such feature currently exist for TM1 Application ... it's a bummer that we had it in EP and missed out in TM1 Application

This is now logged as an enhancement request. I tried to analyze the HTML code generated, it is invoking code built using dojo toolkit. I couldn't make much out of it.

I'd love to hear if anyone managed to understand the way URL is generated using dojo; or some how had this implemented
