Explanation
Your customer wants to link a query to an external URL. To do this, you need to set up a report-report interface. There are three correct steps to accomplish this, which are:
A. Insert the parameter for the
Web address in the assignment details.
This means that you need to create
a parameter for the web address, which will be used to link the query to
the external URL. In the assignment details, you'll need to enter the parameter
name and specify its properties, such as whether it is mandatory or optional,
and what type of data it will accept (e.g., text, number, date). Here's
an example: let's say the parameter is called "URL" and it accepts text
input. You would enter "URL" in the parameter name field and set its data
type to "text".
B. Select the Web address from the
list of report types.
This step involves selecting the
report type that will be used to link the query to the external URL. In
this case, you want to select the Web address report type. This report
type will allow you to insert the URL parameter you created in step A into
the report, so that when the report is executed, the user can click on
the link and be taken to the external URL. Here's an example: in the report
type selection screen, you would select "Web address" from the list of
available report types.
C. Select Receiver Object and enter
the Web address.
The final step is to select the
receiver object and enter the web address. The receiver object is the object
that will receive the URL parameter value and use it to link to the external
URL. In this case, the receiver object will be the Web address report type
that you selected in step B. You'll need to enter the web address in the
appropriate field, using the URL parameter you created in step A. Here's
an example: you would select the Web address report type as the receiver
object, and then enter the web address, using the parameter you created
in step A. So, if the web address is "https://example.com", you would enter
"https://<URL>" in the appropriate field, where "<URL>" is the name
of the URL parameter you created in step A.
D. Select a system from the Source
Systems tab.
The Source Systems tab is used
to select the system from which the data is extracted. This option is not
required to link a query to an external URL, as the task only involves
linking a query to a website. For e.g. If you want to extract sales
data from multiple systems, you can use the Source Systems tab to select
the relevant systems. However, this step is not needed to link a query
to an external website.
Option E: Insert the Web address
in the assignment details.
This option involves inserting
the Web address directly in the assignment details of the query, instead
of creating a parameter for it. This step is not necessary as it does not
allow for flexibility in changing the URL if needed. For e.g. If
you insert the Web address directly in the assignment details, and then
later on the URL changes, you will have to manually change it in the query.
However, if you create a parameter for the Web address, you can easily
change the URL without having to modify the query.
So, to summarize, option A, B and C are the correct answers.
