Question

Specify "Period" parameter when generating report export using xtk.report

Hello!

I'm automating some Message Center reports, using this as a basis:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/automating-with-workflows/use-cases/monitoring/sending-a-report-to-a-list.html?lang=en

I'm specifically looking at the "Message Center Service Level" report, and I'm getting a basic PDF generated using this code:

var reportName = "messageCenterQualityOfService"; var path = "/home/customers/specsavers/incoming/Temp/mcqos.pdf"; var exportFormat = "PDF"; var _ctx = <ctx _context="global" _reportContext="messageCenterQualityOfService" /> var isAdhoc = 0; xtk.report.export(reportName, _ctx, exportFormat, path, isAdhoc);

This generates a report based on the default parameters, "Channel", "Execution Instance" and "Period".

Can someone help me set the "_ctx" parameter so that I can generate the report for different "Periods". e.g. "1 week view" via JavaScript?

Thank you!

Hello,

 

Is it possible to check the debug view to see the context elements/attributes (and so parameters/values) available?

Thank you, imicu.

 

I'm so sorry, how do I see the debug view of the report? It's an out-of-the-box report:

Many thanks!

I do not have that report in my sandbox, but what you can do it to go to Explorer > Administration > Configuration > Reports

 

From here you have 2 options:

  1. Select the report, go to Properties and variable Tab and note the XPath for that variable.
  2. Select the report, go to Preview, select Global and tick 'Enable debug mode' checkbox. Play around with Period dropdown (refresh after changing the period) confirm that period tag modifies under vars. In my case (may not apply to you), it was looking like this 
<vars>
<period>7</period>
</vars>

All the variables defined in the variables tab are accesible under the ctx.vars.yourVariable

Once you identify the variable, you can use it in JS script by accessing with: 

ctx.vars.period = <VALUE>

Hope this helps.

    No luck, unfortunately. I'm following this guide which makes use of a JavaScript activity. According to the documentation, there is no "ctx" object that I can use in this activity, yet that seems to be the recommended solution. I'm very new to this aspect of Campaign, so struggling a bit!
