How do I get the -INCLUDE to execute the fex out of a specific Domain; i.e. production vs. my test domain?

-INCLUDE D:\ibi\WebFOCUS76\basedir\programm\app\current_term_calculated_terms

Did you try this?

-INCLUDE other_domain/app/fex

- Neftali.

Well I'll be. I'd swear I did that. Thanks Tom for your quick response.

In you case that should read:

-INCLUDE programm/app/current_term_calculated_terms

I don't have an MRE environment to play with so I'm not entirely sure that is possible.

- Neftali.

Welcome Rick. Glad it worked for you...

Back to the Masters...

I tried this too. Originally it worked but we have a little twist to it. I have this in the program in MRE:
-INCLUDE transpor/app/trn005la.fex

The problem is that it is a launch page. The launch page displays correctly. When I enter the parameters and click Submit to execute the program that it calls I am getting the message:
ERROR: ERROR_MR_CANT_OPEN_DOMAIN_FOR_USER Can't open domain transpor/transpor.htm for user aaa.

Does anyone have any ideas on this twist?

The MRE user must have access to all domains that are referenced. For example, suppose a user has access to domain A but not domain B. I you have a procedure in domain A that -INCLUDES a procedure in domain B, you would get this error. If you give the user access to domain B as well, this would solve the problem.

In a couple instances in our environment, we could not give the user straight-up access to the other domain, so we had to create a common domain - so users of domain A have access to domain A + the common domain and users of domain B have access to domain B + the common domain.

It would probably be helpful to understand our purpose of doing this. We want to provide limited access to reports in another domain (with that domains owners permission) but not all the reports. That's why I setup another domain with -INCLUDE for specific reports. We don't want to duplicate the program code as that can get messy. Any ideas how to avoid duplicating and limiting access to a domains reports?

As far as I know, you can't give access to only part of a domain - it's all or nothing. So you could separate that shared components into a new domain that all users can access, or a different approach would be to just add a URL object into a domain which points to the launch page in the other domain. This would use the IBIMR_drill=RUNNID parameter to allow access.

Here's an example:

//servername/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIMR_domain[i]domain0/domain0.htm[/i]&IBIMR_action=MR_RUN_FEX
&IBIMR_sub_action=MR_STD_REPORT
&IBIMR_fex=app/[i]launchpage.htm[/i]
&IBIF_ex=app/[i]launchpage.htm[/i]
&IBIMR_drill=RUNNID
&IBIMR_flags=
&IBIMR_folder=[i]#foldername[/i]
&IBIMR_random=

For that to work I believe the user would need to have security access to the shared domain plus the full domain. If that's the case then I don't think that would work either. I'll try testing it and let you know the results. Thanks Darin.

Darin,
What is the [i] for? What would I replace it with?
Thanks, Bob

Sorry - those were left over html tags to italicize those sections. You can eliminate those completely. Items within those tags would be replaced with your domain, folder and html file names.

We ended up having to create a new domain that contains the programs that we wanted to limit access. We couldn't find any shortcuts. When we move to WF 8.x we will have better alternatives for this. Thanks to all that responded.
