Debra Waybright Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Anyone using a Sharepoint connector to get data for WebFOCUS reports? Any tips for getting that connection established? Any pitfalls to using files from a Sharepoint connector we should watch out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert fuschetto Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 We use hyperlinks to a SharePoint site. I am not a huge fan nor a SharePoint expert but when EDGE rolled out the ability to link to spreadsheets on local shares no longer worked...and IS refused us disk space so we dumped them on SharePoint and hyperlink to them.

Debra Waybright Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 When you say you "hyperlink to them", do you do that through a Get Data Connection? We tried creating a SharePoint connector and haven't been able to get it to work. It says it connects to the SharePoint site, but I can't see any of the data files.

Patrick Huebgen Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 @Debra Waybright I was usign this a while back - worked fine but yoiu will need support by the Sharepoint Experts unless you are able to create keys/tokens/secrets on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert fuschetto Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 We copy the path from SharePoint then go to the HTML page. We add the URL under Requests & Data Sources. We add a hyperlink control to the HTML Page. Then tie them all together under Tasks and Animations, Anchor20 was the Hyperlink Control. URL/ Request90 was the URL to the SharePoint File. I am not sure this is what you are after but if you need more detail let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Waybright Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Robert, thanks for clarifying that. You are correct that this isn't what I was looking for. We've decided not to pursue it any further at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
