As far as I know when you run as differed you need to have all parameters selected and passed to the request first.

When it's launch as differed, it doesn't go to the "normal" default service but to the DFM_DEFAULT service and waits for resources to be free prior to execute and/or with a lower priority.
So it cannot prompt you for input parameters. The parameters need to be filled prior to send to differed mode.

I have never used the auto-prompt for differed reports. Don't even know if possible and I will be surprised if available.

If I run fex as differed, it asks me the contents of prompt before (WebFocus Autoprompt)

That's what I want.
End User must choise parameter before run differed

Hi Jacquetl

You might consider creating a html document with the parameter displayed for selection and then use the run deferred button to run the report.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Your issue is that your procedure is in an application folder. Also that you are using EX which is not parsed for missing variable values.

To check what I mean, select properties for a procedure in an application folder and also one within a domain folder. The one in the applications folder does not have a "run deferred" option whereas the one in the domains folder does. This should make you realise that the procedure should be in a domains folder structure and not an applications folder structure.

Also, look at the properties for a procedure in a domain folder and you can see that you can set it to only run deferred.
