If you have a source document and want to pass its prompt answers to a target document, use {&PROMPTXML} directly as the URL parameter.

When you have multiple projects configured in MicroStrategy Mobile, you can use URL parameters to execute a report in a specific Intelligence Server and project. In the absence of these parameters (server and project), the report execution is performed on the first available project in the list of projects on the Settings screen for MicroStrategy Mobile.

Generating the XML to answer all prompts (including nested prompts)

The promptsAnswerXML URL parameter passes a block of MicroStrategy-specific XML that contains all of the information needed to answer prompts. While it is not recommended, it is possible to use this parameter to automatically answer nested prompts in a URL. To do this, you capture the XML generated by MicroStrategy and then use it as the value of the promptsAnswerXML parameter in the URL.

Use the following procedure to obtain the XML for the promptsAnswerXML parameter for a specific prompted report:

    1. Add the prompted report to a Report Services document in MicroStrategy Web.  

    2. In the body of the Report Services document, add the following auto-text:  {&PROMPTXML}. This auto-text will generate the XML needed to complete the URL API call.

    3. Run the Report Services document and answer the prompts with the answers that you want to be passed in the URL.  

    4. When the document is executed, the XML needed to complete the URL API call will be displayed. Copy this XML and use it as the value of the promptsAnswerXML in the URL.
