Anyone know how to pass a parameter to RSS?

I know we can use a URL to call RSS from the browser such as: http://{server name}/rss/html/index.htm

...and I've heard that a parameter can be passed using the additional syntax ?RQH-DELIVER-TO=JOHN (for example) to result in a URL string like:

http://{server name}/rss/html/index.htm?RQH-DELIVER-TO=JOHN

...but it doesn't work for me. The RSS screen is called, but the parameter isn't passed. Is it overriden by another setting in a config, XML, or XSL file somewhere?

Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks ...Lance

Congrats on posting!
Not sure if this in line with what you asking but this is how we call RSS and pass (override) the requester.
rssconfig.xml change:


URL placed in a bookmark.

Robert,

Thanks. Your pointer looks promising and I'll dig into it as soon as possible. Perhaps there is something in the 'config' file that I need to alter to allow the parameter to be passed. I'm at a Lawson user conference for a few days so I won't be able to dive in until later in the week.

I appreciate your comment.

...Lance
