Scorecard Integration with External Applications

You can create a scorecard in the Analyst tool and view its results in external applications or web portals. Specify the scorecard results URL in a format that includes the host name, port number, project ID, and scorecard ID to view the results in external applications.
Open a scorecard after you run it and copy its URL from the browser. The scorecard URL must be in the following format:
http://{HOST_NAME}:{PORT}/AnalystTool/com.informatica.at.AnalystTool/index.jsp?mode=scorecard&project={MRS_PROJECT_ID}&id={SCORECARD_ID}&parentpath={MRS_PARENT_PATH}&view={VIEW_MODE}&pcsfcred={CREDENTIAL}
The following table describes the scorecard URL attributes:
Attribute
Description
HOST_NAME
Host name of the Analyst Service.
PORT
Port number for the Analyst Service.
MRS_PROJECT_ID
Project ID in the Model repository.
SCORECARD_ID
ID of the scorecard.
MRS_PARENT_PATH
Location of the scorecard in the Analyst tool. For example, /project1/folder1/sub_folder1.
VIEW_MODE
Determines whether a read-only or editable view of the scorecard gets integrated with the external application.
CREDENTIAL
Last part of the URL generated by the single sign-on feature that represents the object type such as scorecard.
The VIEW_MODE attribute in the scorecard URL determines whether you can integrate a read-only or editable view of the scorecard with the external application:
view=objectonly
Displays a read-only view of the scorecard results.
view=objectrunonly
Displays scorecard results where you can run the scorecard and drill down on results.
view=full
Opens the scorecard results in the Analyst tool with full access.
