How to pass Anchor data from Workflow A to a parameter of Workflow B

Shaik Sunny-Oracle

I am a novice to OAC. Trying to build DV Dashboards

I have 3 Workflows, lets say Workflow A,B and C

Workflow A has histogram bar chart Top 10 pods list (Y axis) based on a count of metric, say restarts(X axis and filter → Top 10)

Now this top 10 pods list is dynamic based on no of restarts.

I have created Data Action from workflow A → Workflow B

Anchor to → pod name and pass values → anchor data

Workflow B has pod name as filter which is bind to parameter[PODNAME]

There is another Data action created in Workflow B → Workflow C

Anchor data is pod name and passing only parameter value → [PODNAME] (since both workflows have pod name column as filters from different datasets. I am using parameter to pass from Workflow B → C. Workflow C also has pod name filter(but from different dataset) bind to parameter[PODNAME] )

Now both these data actions are working fine independently.

But when I navigate from Workflow A → B and then B → C. The podname value from A → B is not binded to parament[PODNAME] of Workflow B and so the navigation from B → C does not pass parameter[PODNAME] from B → C.

I want to make the whole navigation work from A→B→C.

How to pass the pod name from workflow A → B as a parameter (I cannot use it as filter and bind to parameter since the top 10 pods is dynamic on no of restarts)

Hi @Federico Venturin ,

Thank you for your response.

I have tried to modify the workbook URL as below
<base workbook URL>&p1n=PODNAME&p1v=ABCD

above URL is pasted in address bar of a browser.

the parameter value 'ABCD' is not passed as the filter I could observer that the workbook still loads with default parameter value as filter.

Hi @User_94SNU ,

Please make sure that:

• PODNAME in the above expression in exactly the name of an existing parameter in the workbook
• The same parameter is bound to filter, or used in an expression filter in the workbook
• ABCD is a valid value, or a reference to an existing column if you are in the data action editor

Hi @User_94SNU ,

I would use "URL Navigation" actions rather than "Analytics Link" actions and pass parameter values directly in the the URL as shown in this post (Enhanced Parameters Experience section) that I wrote a while ago.

You can pass parameter values in the URL as follows:

&p1n=PODNAME&p1v=${valuesForColumn:<data element>}
