&configurationBlock=Parametername={“values”};
The correct URL looks like the following:
http://mySpotfireServer/spotfire/wp/analysis??file=/Sales%20and%20Marketing&configurationBlock=SetFilter(tableName = "SalesAndMarketing", columnName = "Store Type", values = { "Large Retailer"});Notes:
1). Although the configuration block URL may seem to work with single quotes, it does not work when there is a space in the string.
2). Exactly the same error will be thrown if there is a semi-colon (;) missing at the end of the configuration block.
