Short Answer: Ask your WebFOCUS Administrator.

Can you get to http://{server}/ibi_apps/.

Does it show the links page ?

Can you get to the WebFOCUS Administration Console.

If you log in, there are configuration and tests available.

You shouldn't have a (WebFOCUS) client on the application tier, as the Web teir will connect to the WebFOCUS server.

Is your installation 2-tier, 3 teir, or other ?

Hi Waz,
Thanks for the info. I do have access to the webFOCUS admin console and I have the below details.
Basic Client Settings(Inside Configuration-->Client settings-->General)
• APPROOT /opt/ibi/webfocus/products
• IBI_DOCUMENT_ROOT /opt/ibi/WebFOCUS76
• CGI_TEMP_DIR /opt/ibi/webfocus/temp
• IBI_BACKUP_DI /opt/ibi/webfocus/backup

Our Archetecture is a 3 tier archetecture
1) Web tier
2)Application Tier
3)Reporting Tier

One more underliing tier thats database tier.


Please advice.

Hi Rocky, sorry about the delay.

In the administration console there are tests that can be done to ensure the connectivity.

Have a look under Diagnostics/Verification.

Try

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet

localhost:8080
Should be the server and port of yours. This should fetch you

 No query information to decode.  


Thanks,

Just did a search for '(Almost) 1001 Ways to Work With Dates for WebFOCUS' on Amazon, and lo and behold it is available there. It's just 10 bucks more expensive as when you buy it from IBI.
Data from the IBI site:
Title as above, Price: $25.00, DN: 9400251.1106, Page Count: 360
The book is worth every penny of the 25 $.

Just go to the admin page and run diagnostincs, verification, automatic. If anything fails it gives you hints to look at.
