Is it possible to pass mulitple parameters from web page to a business objects reports via a URL? Is there any good documentation, books on how to accomplish this?

Thanks
 
Yes, it is possible to do so...
Here are the steps to do this :-

1. Create an object in the universe . The SELECT statement will be :
'<A HREF=&quot; Unit')+'&quot;>+TableName.FieldName+</A>'

Doc1 = Name of the document
R= Type of document...R for BO Report W for WEBI report
9=Document ID
Document = name of the repository
Y=refresh when opening
Parameter1= This is the value of the field which is passed to another report (for example, this object is an account no. and for the child report u need to pass this a/c no. to show the details of that account)

Parameter2 = value based on the prompt from the parent table.(ie. in the above example, 'Business Unit' is a prompt in the parent report and is now passed as a parameter to the child report).


HTH....Let me know if it is not clear to u...
