I have yet issue with upgrading from BO 3.x to BO 4.1.
Some of our Webi Reports contain paramter (prompt) names containing a forward-slash.
If I try to open these reports, by logging into BO, then creating an OpenDocument URL containing these parameter name+values and the token, I get an (almost) blank webpage. No errors, nothing.
However, if I remove the "sInstance=Param" part of the URL, then it will successfully open the report (but obviously, without the parameter values I want).
Here's the BO 4.x OpenDocument documentation:
https://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_opendocument_en.pdf
I realized that the forward-slash was the problem when I tried adding "NAII=Y" to the URL.
When I did this, the webi report page did start to appear, but with a modal dialog asking me to enter values for 3 of the parameters which it thought I hadn't provided values for in my URL... and these parameter names all had the / character in them.
So.... how do I specify a forward-slash in the URL ?
Right now, my URL looks something like this (simplified, and split into seperate lines, to make it more readable here):
http://MyServer:6405/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AVMsV5ewGQlMqnGar3VhtT8
&sIDType=CUID
&sType=wid
&sRefresh=N
&sInstance=Param
&lsSCedant+Name+or+ALL=ALL
&lsSGlobal+%2f+NA+%2f+CMG+%2fWhsl+or+ALL=ALL
&lsSUWY+or+ALL=0
&token=MyServer.global.MikesCompany.net%3A6400%4013193J1eKungunx8iXRJMod3wLzI13191JbpnNyNmh5QP4Lb2LPQa0eW
Notice how it attempts to set the value of our "Global / NA / CMG / Whsl or ALL" parameter.
But when I add "NAII=Y" to the URL, it shows this as being one of the parameters which I didn't set a value for.
One last thing: the length of my OpenDocuments URL is under 1300 characters, so I don't believe this is the cause of the problem.
