URL API

I'm having trouble using the URL API. I want to open a cubeview and set the title elements. I can set all title elements except the cost center dimension.
Here's the URL I am using:
Code: Select all
http://localhost/TM1web/TM1webmain.aspx?action=OpenObject&type=CubeViewer&value=tn_5&title_Entity=10 - US&title_Version=CurrentForecast&title_cost center=1010 - Manufacturing - Instruments&title_Account=7600-6046 - Meals
The only difference that I can see is that the cost center dimension name has a space in it. I have tried using title_cost%20center= but that doesn't work either.
Does anyone know what's wrong with the URL?

Try making it "title_cost_center". Variables can have spaces, but I don't think the variable names can.

Try this - replacing any space in the URL with %20
Code: Select all
http://localhost/TM1web/TM1webmain.aspx?action=OpenObject&type=CubeViewer&value=tn_5&title_Entity=10%20-%20US&title_Version=CurrentForecast&title_cost center=1010%20-%20Manufacturing%20-%20Instruments&title_Account=7600-6046%20-%20Meals

I tried title_cost_center and replacing every space with a $20. I even built another test cube with a costcentertest dimension. I can't set that title dimension. Weird.

Probably a typo but try %20 instead.
Also since your view is possibly saved using aliases (and even it its not) possibly use the elements principal name, the view should present the alias name still if thats how the view was constructed.
so instead of :
Code: Select all
http://localhost/TM1web/TM1webmain.aspx?action=OpenObject&type=CubeViewer&value=tn_5&title_Entity=10 - US&title_Version=CurrentForecast&title_cost center=1010 - Manufacturing - Instruments&title_Account=7600-6046 - Meals
try:
Code: Select all
http://localhost/TM1web/TM1webmain.aspx?action=OpenObject&type=CubeViewer&value=tn_5&title_Entity=10&title_Version=CurrentForecast&title_cost%20center=1010&title_Account=7600-6046
I am just guessing at your element principal names though. I've had a lot of trouble getting URL API working and so I sympathize.
Edit 1: just another thought perhaps also replace '-' with its POST HTML code: '%2D'
Edit 2: wow, just saw the date on your post. sorry. my response is a little expired.
