Using Zen Reports - InterSystems Documentation

Zen Reports from a Web Browser• The Caché namespace and database associated with your Zen report has been configured withUnauthenticated access using the Enable/Disable Authentication allowed field on the [Home] >[Security Management] > [CSP Applications] page.Unauthenticated access causes a problem that Password authentication does not. Password accessrequires a user to enter a username and password before running a Zen report that is associatedwith a particular Caché namespace and database. This login transaction gives Zen the opportunityto detect that the browser supports cookies, so that when the user subsequently enters the URI ofa Zen report, multiple parameters in the query string work well.Without a login transaction, Zen has no opportunity to detect that the browser supports cookies,so that when the user subsequently enters the URI of a Zen report, additional parameters in thisquery string do not work on Internet Explorer.There are several options to handle these situations. Any one of them solves the problem:• Use the [Home] > [Security Management] > [CSP Applications] page to configure the Cachénamespace and database that contains the Zen report class with a Use Cookie for Session value ofAlways.• Use class parameter EMBEDXSL=1 in the Zen report class.• Use class parameter STYLESHEETDEFAULTMODE="tohtml" in the Zen report class.Despite problems that may occur on Internet Explorer, there are a number of query parameters availablefor use in the URI for a Zen report class. You may use them freely in Firefox. The following table liststhese query parameters and their class parameter equivalents. You can find additional details aboutany parameter using the links provided in the table, or consult the chapters “Zen Report ClassParameters” and “Troubleshooting Zen Reports.”URI Query Parameters for Zen ReportsURI QueryParameter$DATASOURCE$EMBEDXSLClass ParameterEquivalentDATASOURCEEMBEDXSLDescriptionThe URI of an XML document thatcontains the data for the Zen report.Relative URIs are handled with respectto the current URI.1 (true) or 0 (false). When true, Zengenerates XSL instructions embeddedwithin the output XHTML. The default isfalse. In this case Zen generates aseparate XSL file.66 Using Zen Reports
