Hai all..

I log into MRE and run a report which displays summary of documents of mine. When I click them, I should be transferred to our client's portal automatically where that documents info is present.
I tried by giving the direct URL and by passing the parameter too..It takes me to correct page but it gives me error when I try to access buttons (accept etc) on that portal page saying some non-default parameters are missing in the procedure. How could I know what those parameters are? Please post your suggestions.

Thanks..

This portal that you're linking to, is it also a WebFOCUS-built application?
Can you provide those parameters in your document's url?
Things like these often happen when you link to some place in an application where you normally could not get to before going through some sort of a initialization mechanism. If you bypass that, then certain things may not have been setup for you. Could something like this be the case?

GamP, it is not a WF applications. I can pass parameter values from my procedure but the parameter names are different anyway. You are right. As I am trying to creep in to middle of the portal, some parameters are missing which might come through intialization.

There is an HTTP trace tool called Fiddler2. It will log everything your web browser sends when making an HTTP request, and everything that is returned in the HTTP Response.

It is available here

I'd setup the trace tool, turn it on, and navigate to your portal from outside of WebFOCUS where it works properly.

I'd then launch the link to the portal from WebFOCUS and compare the two.

You should be able to determine what one is sending that the other is not and fix the request.

FYI, if you're in an SSL environment Fiddler2 can still handle that. You just need to go to Tools -> Fiddler Options -> HTTPS Tab and check "Decrypt HTTPS Traffic".
