Hi All
I've had a look around the Viya community and can't see any posts on this topic so thought i'd ask a question...
Background
We've just had SAS Visual Analytics on Viya (8.2) commissioned in our organisation. We're intending to use this to replace our existing Visual Analytics (9.4 / 7.4) install.
The way we use VA is to surface reports using the report viewer in iFrames, and place these in an external web content management system which sits on a separate server within the same hosted environment (so VA = server1.example.com and CMS = server2.example.com). This works very well for the 9.4 environment. The only thing I had to do was to whitelist server2.example.com on the VA install to allow for cross-domain proxy, etc.
The issue
Having tried to undertake the same task with VA on Viya; I LOVE the fact that the report viewer now generates en embeddable iframe link directly within it which i can use to embed into the CMS - complete with perameters such as what menus to show, etc. So far so good. However, the problem is that when I then try to make use of this link; I get a blank iframe. In 9.4/7.4, I would at least get a SAS screen saying there was a problem, etc - but with 8.2 I get nothing at all.
Things i've tried
1) Embedding the link in another page (i.e. a handcrafted HTML file on my desktop) which has the same effect.
2) Using the non-embeddable link and pasting this directly into the browser address bar (this works)
3) Using the non-embeddable link and using this in handcrafted iFrame code (doesn't work).
This is something i've done a LOT, so i'm sure that the iFrame code, etc are correct - no definitely not a basic HTML coding issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I'm getting a blank white iFrame instead of at least something SAS branded?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Matt
