[CLOSED] focexurl for WF8

I am working on a migration project for a client from WF7 to WF8.
One of the reports uses an -HTMLFORM to display two reports.
The code to display the reports is shown below.
This code does not work in WF8.
I believe it is because of the new way WF8 calls the WFServlet on MRE resources.
Does anyone know what the value should be for the focexurl variable in the code below.
The two reports are held as HTMTABLE formats (so they can share styling) [When the format is changed to HTML the styling is lost]
Both reports have drillmenus, which is why they are being banged into the form [When the format is changed to HTML the drilldowns work].

I need to have both the styling and drilldown work as they do in WF7.

-HTMLFORM BEGIN


<script language='javascript'>
var focexurl = "/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=CLMDEV&IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF&IBIAPP_app=&&IBIMR_drill=X,allegiss/allegiss.htm&IBIF_ex=app/is_sprd_prod_reg_rpt";
var fochtmlurl = "/ibi_html";
var ibiOptions = new Array("multidrill");

<script language='javascript' src='/ibi_html/javaassist/nls/js'>

<script
language='javascript'src='/ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/js/ibigbl.js'>

<script language='javascript'>
ibigblloadCss(null);

!IBI.FIL.PRODUCT;


!IBI.FIL.REGION;


-HTMLFORM END

Hi Michael, Please use the code tags for the HTML.

The calls are very different now in V8.

Mike,
You may need to fully qualify that fex name, should work after that.

I do this in WF8:

/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/MyAppFolder/myfile.fex?IBIRS_action=run
/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/MyAppFolder/css/myfile.css?IBIRS_action=run
/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/MyAppFolder/js/myfile.js?IBIRS_action=run


Edit:
And for Reporting server files:
/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/EDA/EDASERVE/MyAppFolder/myfile.fex?IBIRS_action=run

Careful with using EDA/EDASERVE though, just in case your running in clusters, the name could be different.
