A long while back I posted an entry on linking to a report via a URL. All was good but it only worked if you either:
1. Were hooking BIP up to SSO with your calling application or
2. You placed the report in the Guest folder which was unsecured.
You can now pass the username and password on the URL to avoid the two cases above and open up other possibilities.

SOA does not start with error “An unknown OPMN error has occured”
This article from ORACLE BPEL IN DEPTH
The article direct link SOA does not start with error “An unknown OPMN error has occured”
Summary
When did I get this?
I have a fresh installation of SOA suite on my stupid Vista laptop.
I had a hard time getting this into it in the first place.
I was damn happy getting this into it and I though wow here I go.
But damn stupid thing, after re-starting my system I could not get the SOA suite working.
I capture what I did to get this wonderful thing working.
What is this error and why I write this?
The first bolt I got was this
“An unknown OPMN error has occurred”
“Error connecting to OPMN (is it running?): Connection refused: connect”
This was when I tried to start SOA suite from the “start SOA suite” from start menu.

Summary
I want to click some values in the report and see the detail report for the particular data. For example, when I see a Sales report and realize some regions sale revenue is way small and now I want to find something more detail to answer why, by opening up another report that has detail data for the particular regions.
Well, this is sometimes called as ‘Drill Down’, sometimes ‘Report Link’, or ‘Reports Navigation’. Whatever the name is, what you want is so called ‘Master-Detail’ reports relationship with which a master report opens a detail report and passes a value to filter the data in the detail report.
