Embed API Sample error

[lherbert501]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a test embedded location and tried running the sample app from  Guy in a Cube.

I'm having a few problems and get this error when I try to run it. Does anybody know what that means?

Thanks in advance

Could somebody also kindly advise which username and role goes in below?

Code below

Thanks

Hi @lherbert501 ,

About the first question, have you created a data source connection using one of the gateways to the semantic model of the report you need to embed? And have you change contents here?

And about the second question, based on the screenshot you provided, it looks like you are trying to embed a report with RLS applied. So for the parameter Role, fill in the name of the RLS you created:

As for the parameter username, it depends on whether you are implementing a static RLS or a dynamic RLS.
If it is a static RLS, then you can give it any string:

But in the case of a dynamic RLS, the role of username is to pass a parameter value to your previously defined RLS role, so here you need to give username a specific string, i.e., what you want your RLS to be equal to.
You can refer to the following two documents, which explain it in more detail:

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thankyou for your reply.

Could you please help me with the gateway aspect, as I think its the only thing left that's preventing it.

I have the gateway connection set up for the report that works fine and refreshes fine as below. Which bit do I change in the code?

I was unsure if the code below needed to stay commented out

Thanks

Hi @lherbert501 ,

I tried to fix it myself, but it seems that this is because some of the content in the predefined configuration file before the code is outdated. If you want to modify it, you may not only need to modify the content in the screenshot, but also go back here to modify it:

I'm not sure how the original author defined it, but I saw that this document was published 4 years ago:

So it's very likely that some of the content is outdated. I think the best way is to find the original author and ask him to update it.
