Example

Executing the example requires that the HTML page contains the ExpressBox component named expressBox (see Example of Creating the ExpressBox Component). A folder with the 109 key must be available in the repository:

Create a copy of the source express report:

// Declare callback function that is called after creating an express report copy.
var createCopyFunction = function (sender, args) {    
    var source = args.Args && (args.Args.Document || args.Args.Report);    
    if (source) {
        expressBox.setSource(source);    
    }
};
// Get a service used to work with express report
var eaxMdService = expressBox.getService();
// Create a copy of express report
var newCopy = eaxMdService.createCopy(eaxAnalyzer, 109, "New_report", "EXP_DYN", True, PP.Mb.ObjectCopyOperation.CreateNew, PP.Delegate(createCopyFunction, expressBox, {
    Document: eaxAnalyzer    
}));

After executing the example a copy of the express report is created in the folder with specified key.

Then run the following code:

// Get express report copy key
console.log("Source express report: " + expressBox.getSource().getKey());
console.log("Express report copy key: " + newCopy.getKey());
console.log("Express report copy name: " + newCopy.getName());

After executing the example the browser console displays key and name of the created express report copy, and also the key of the source express report:

Key of the source express report: 109
Key of express report copy: 2667
Name of the express report copy: New_report
