Can you run a report from an HTML form in a managed reporting domain that is located on a data server?

ChannyS,

Yes,

In the HTML, call a fex from MRE, say rpt1.

In rpt1, you have

  
-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE appfolder/program1.fex


program1.fex is on the server...

Thanks that's perfect - here's the next question (I'm a newbie..)

Besides for having reports on the data server, I have HTML files there. Anyways I can have those HTML file show up in a domain tree or in a Managed Reporting Dashboard?

Thanks - I am getting an error:
ERROR: ERROR_MR_FEX_NOT_FOUND Can't create item object based on provided item key program.htm.

But maybe I should ask at the same time if this is the right approach I am taking. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a central location for files that may be shared across a few domains so I will only be maintaining one copy of files, users will log into a domain and only have access and see stuff in their domain (which may also be available in other domains). Am I taking the right approach?

Thanks.

ChannyS,

Is your HTML file called program.htm???

That was just an example.

-HTMLFORM appfolder/your_html_file_name_here.htm

To your next question:

Yes, that is a good approach...

No - it is called something else and I had put the correct name in - was just using the same sample name you had used to display the error message.
