Getting Bookmark Name

diwakarnahata — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 13:13:27 GMT

Hi All,

Is there any way we can get a Server Bookmark name if we know the ID (on AJAX client)?

Do we have any function available which can be used?

I want to build a table with a list of user bookmarks on Server and a count metric for each bookmark.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Diwakar

Was able to achieve this using Power Tools by reading the .Shared file..

I have created a continuous partial reload to load the Bookmark information extracted from .Shared into the Qlikview app. No macros used.

Let me know if you think there could be a better approach of achieving this.

As i know u can't launch partial reaload in AJAX client, can u plz comment, how did u do that?

In ur case u can use this macro, if u have ur given array of bookmark ID:

sub run2
bookmarks = ActiveDocument.GetDocBookmarkNames
dim BM
for i = lbound(bookmarks) to ubound(bookmarks)
if(i=0) then
BM="'"&bookmarks(i)&"'"
else
BM=BM&",'"&bookmarks(i)&"'"
end if
next
set v = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vBMName")
v.SetContent BM,true

end sub

P.S. My goal is opposite, i need to get bookmark id by bookmark name

I did the recurring partial reload from a batch script behind the scenes. So, no role for AJAX client.

The command line allows you to do partial reload as well using "-Rp".
