    Hello

    Does anyone know how to either assign or find the URL to published Crystal Reports in LRS?  The scheduling tool Control M might be able to launch CR's once published on LRS.  However, when I click on 'properties' of a published report, I only get the generic:

     

    http://portal.lawson.com/:8383/efs/go?id=id351.

    Thanks.

      To find the URL, one method is to publish something on a dashboard (temporarily) - when you've got it published there, right click on the link and go down to properties. That should give you the entire URL for that report.

        What exactly is it you're trying to do--are you trying to replace LBI scheduling with Control-M?
        Are you trying to figure out what the URL is for viewing the latest instance of a published report?
        If so, it's a dynamically-generated URL from http://server/ers/ersRequestHandler.jsp with parameters, most importantly the ReportID and the SSO SessionID. Something like this:
        http://servername/ers/ers...13ibN5VRgmJQNWCAi3ZN
        Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

          Have you thought about reading a Lawson manual? For example, Reporting Services Administration and User Guide (v. 9.0.3.x) has a section on publishing the report to a URL.

          HTH.

            Look in the Lawson Repository.  You'll find that every report is "published" out there.  If you output as a PDF, you'll be able to do a URL that links to the file location.  Each historical instance is in its own folder.  HTH
