POS/TA also provides add on functionality for accessing the query page directly from an external link.
Follow the steps given below to access the query page from an external link:
1. Create a filter using the Query page and assign a name and filter condition to the new filter. For example,
creating a Test filter with the following condition:
accttype like %1%
NOTE: The filter condition should be defined only in the Custom Filter.
2. Pass the values in the given format:
http://111.111.111.111:100/POSTA/Query.aspx?filter=Test&endtime=2009-06-
29%2013:40:00&interval=5&numVar=1&var1=01
• http://111.111.111.111:100/POSTA/Query.aspx: Specifies the web link to access POS/TA
Query page.
• filter: Specifies the name of the POS/TA Query filter. For example Test.
• endtime: Specifies the exact time stamp for running the query filter. The time stamp will be
displayed in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format only.
• interval: Specifies the time duration for which the query will execute. For example 5 minutes.
• numVar: Specifies the number of variables passed to the query filter.
• var1: Specifies the variable name. This variable name would be replaced by %1% value specified in
the custom filter.
3. This will display the POS/TA login screen. Enter the user name and the password in the User Name and
