Configurable report URLs

Earlier versions of LiveCompare had a problem with generating URL strings that pointed to reports. If you connected to the LiveCompare server using ‘localhost’ in the URL, any reports generated included ‘localhost’ in their URL strings. Users connecting to LiveCompare from client machines could not access reports stored on the server, since ‘localhost’ referred to each local client machine.

LiveCompare releases 2.1 and above include a configuration setting named ‘ReportBaseUrl’. If this string has been set, it is used as a prefix for all report URLs that are generated by workflow actions. The string should normally be set to the LiveCompare URL, using an explicit server name and a trailing ‘/’, for example:

http://myserver.tricentis.com/LiveCompare/

This allows report URLs generated by LiveCompare to be valid from any client machine that can access the ‘myserver.tricentis.com’ server.

If you have LiveCompare Administrator privileges, the ‘ReportBaseUrl’ value may be set from the Configuration - Reports screen.
