How do the upload and download aspects of the Remote Operation block work? What do the server parameters do... are they added to the URL as URL parameters (e.g., http://www.example.com/myop?param1=foo&param2=bar)?

Thanks,
Chris]]> http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1376/integration-launching-omniscope-from-other-applications-2.7- Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:41:43 -0500 steve 1376@/discussions
6 new options have been added:

• dmParamName - the name of a parameter to customise
  
• dmParamValue - the value for that parameter
  
• dmParam2Name - another parameter
  
• dmParam2Value
  
• dmParam3Name - another parameter
  
• dmParam3Value
  

When opening a file via the command line, by supplying the path to the IOK file, the above options are used to customise DataManager parameters. If the file is configured to "Refresh from source: On open", the data in the file will open up reflecting those parameters. You can use this in combination with database blocks, for example, to customise server-side queries according to user choices in the originating 3rd-party desktop application.

For example, the attached file has two DataManager parameters, "Ticker" and "Limit". Both are used in Record Filter blocks to filter the data in different ways.

Download the attached file to your desktop, and execute the following command in a command window:

"C:\PATH\TO\INSTALLATION\Omniscope.exe" "C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\Desktop\Dm params test.iok" -dmParamName=Ticker -dmParamValue=abbey -dmParam2Name=Limit -dmParam2Value=5

This launches Omniscope and opens the file, with the first 5 Abbey records from the Bond Prices demo dataset loaded into the Omniscope interface.

The path to installation is typically one of:
- C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\Visokio Omniscope app
- C:\Program Files\Visokio Omniscope
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Visokio Omniscope

We have now extended this concept to ILF link files.

(An ILF file is like a shortcut, which doesn't contain any real data. Instead it instructs Omniscope to open a file from a URL written inside the ILF file. You would use ILF files typically if you want to force Omniscope to open an IOK file directly from the IOK file's URL, rather than allow a web browser upon click to download the IOK file to a temporary folder first. This would allow you to use domain locking, for example.)

Use the new Server Edition XML action "Create Link File" to create ILF files which customise DataManager parameters. As with command-line parameters from the above linked post, you can specify the name of DataManager parameters and the value to use, which overrides the current value in the file. Using this method, you can override an unlimited number of parameters.

For example, the attached two ILF files instruct Omniscope to open the IOK file attachment from the above linked post.
- The first overrides the parameters to show the first 5 "abbey" tickers.
- The second overrides the parameters to show the first 3 "hbos" tickers.]]>
