URL Script/Report Call

Olá Fabio,

Well, URLs/hyperlinks are actually meant to call programs outside ARIS. And since ARIS report scripts run on ARIS Server, we don't offer such a trigger via URL.

Well, and in Java-based clients (Architect/Designer) you could create a macro which calls your report script, then add an icon to the toolbar to call that macro. But we don't offer that for Connect Viewer and Conenct Designer, both running in a browser.

What's your use case?

What are the reasons that you can't use any other way to run an ARIS report script?

Cheers
Rune

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I´m trying to offer a easy way to start a report by the main page of Connect Portal. I was thinking that would be possible call a report like an API, sending GUID of the report and GUID of the context element

No, our RESTful APIs are not meant to start a report script but allow access to certain parts of ARIS.

Have you checked whether our APIs (accessible on your ARIS Server via /apidocs) could provide the same information as your ARIS report script does?
If the resulting data has to be made avaialble anyway outside ARIS, than such an approach might make sense.

Cheers
Rune

Hi Team,

I am revisiting this discussion from September 2020 regarding the possibility of launching a report from the ARIS homepage via a URL. I am

 interested in knowing if there have been any updates or new features introduced in the past seven years that might make this possible now.

My use case is similar to Fabio Gimenes' from the original post: I would like to provide a simple way to start a report from the Connect Portal homepage by potentially sending the report GUID and the context element GUID.

If there have been any developments or if there are any workarounds or alternative methods available now, I would greatly appreciate the information.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Nicolas
