Planning Analytics - Run TI Process Passing URL

tianoklein · Post by **tianoklein** » Thu Dec 15, 2016 6:04 pm

Hello Folks,
As we can see, the Planning Analytics can't run a TI process natively (only using a sheet in perspectives).
Anyone knows if have a way to run a process using a URL? Any advice to run a TI process via portal?

I tried to use the link below, but no sucess.

Thanks!

What errors are you getting when following those instructions?

It's important to note that just using a URL like that in a browser link won't work. The browser will make a GET request while the API requires a POST request with a body.

Hello BrianL,
I create a html file and nothing happen.

Code: Select all

<html>
<body>
<form action="https://_HOST_:_PORT_/tm1/api/v1/Processes('testP')/tm1.Execute"  method="post">
<button type="submit">Submit</button><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>

The HTML form POST action does not allow arbitrary body text or even JSON formatted body text. That's why your example isn't working. Javascript is probably your best bet. Try googling 'javascript POST JSON'.

Hi BrianL,
I'm no good making javascripts /JSON scripts

Am I going to the right way?

Code: Select all

<html>
<body>
<script>
var text = '{"name":"Processes","kind":"EntitySet","url":"https://_host_:_port_/tm1/api/v1/Processes('test')/tm1.Execute"}';
var obj = JSON.parse(text);
</script>

<form action="obj" method="POST">
<button type="submit">Submit</button><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Try using jquery with the $.post method.

Check the example at the bottom:
