Hello We are new to WebFOCUS 8. We do all development in app folders only. I am creating a brand new HTML page. I am trying to add a "Data Source" in "Requests and Data Sources" section so that I can use it to populate a drop down. When I add a data source from the same app folder, it's working fine but when I try to add a data source from different app folder, I get an error "FOC0205 parsing error Description cannot be found". I don't see any option to add or edit app path. Please suggest a way to fix this. ThanksThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Tamra, WF 8.2.01 APP STUDIO PDF,HTML,EXL2K,Active | ||

Are you using App Studio or Dev Studio ? In App Studio, right-click on the html file and select properties, its at the bottom. (My file is in the repository, so not sure if its different for app folders) Waz...

Sign in to the WebFOCUS portal page: http://your_server_name/ibi_apps Then right-click on the file name and select "Properties". App Studio doesn't tell you much. App Studio WebFOCUS 8.1.05M Windows, All Outputs | |||

As its in the app folders, do you need dynamic app folders ? or can you just add more to the list ? I suspect that you could just add the other app folders to the path in edasprof.prf Waz...

I would have thought that somewhere in HTML composer there would be a setting for path (IBIAPP_app) Waz...

App Path is always configured on the reporting server. I've never done it from app studio/dev studio. I would go there to make sure its defined properly. That or go directly to the server and update the EDASPROF. Eric Woerle 8.1.05M Gen 913- Reporting Server Unix 8.1.05 Client Unix Oracle 11.2.0.2 | |||

The composer has no concept of app path. It shouldn't need it. Its just an HTML file. You can always do an app prepend path (or whatever the syntax is) in the procedure for the drop downs if needed, but the composer doesn't care. HTML content should be served up from the webserver anyways. I've never understood why people create this stuff on the reporting server. Personally I've never come across a reason to do so, but I've come across a ton of reasons not to. The content area is just that, meant for content. Reports/HTML etc. Eric Woerle 8.1.05M Gen 913- Reporting Server Unix 8.1.05 Client Unix Oracle 11.2.0.2 | |||

True, but when a report/html page is stored in the repository, there is an option for the path. I think the client creates an adhoc variable &IBIAPP_app to pass it through. I think that you could fool it by creating a variable &IBIAPP_app in the HTML page, link it to the fex, as this is picked up by the reporting server to set the path. Waz...

I guess that's why I avoid that business all together... just build in the content area. The security is much more robust anyways. Like I said, that's what its meant for. The RS is meant for master files and the such. There's a reason for the separation. Eric Woerle 8.1.05M Gen 913- Reporting Server Unix 8.1.05 Client Unix Oracle 11.2.0.2 | |||

BI_Developer, The following might help with your original question.... Ensure the required path is checked off in the Application Path found in the Reporting Server Console. http:/server:8121/ibi_apps/ - on the tool bar click the icon "Application Path" - a list of folders will appear - check off the ones that you require WebFOCUS to 'look' through for all your requests.
