[SOLVED] wf8 includes MRE

I am trying to get a handle on how to use the includes in wf8 from MRE. From reading posts, I see how I have to put the full qualified path in the inclide statement, along with putting .fex at the end.

Having all of the procedures run from the Reporting Server, it works without the full path.

If I run the starting fex from MRE, doesn't it look in the application folders in its path for the includes? I can get it to run if I put all of the includes on MRE and fully qualify the path. But that means I will have to modify every bit of code and add the paths to the include statements.

Yep, that's what we are doing, although, only for drilling to MRE.
We are wrapping the server calls with:

-MRNOEDIT BEGIN
-INCLUDE folder/program_name
-MRNOEDIT END

or

You could just change ALL -INCLUDE to
-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE folder/program_name...

FUN!FUN!FUN!

BTW, it's Content, not MRE anymore...

Is this migrated code from 7.7? If migrated correctly you shouldn't have to adjust anything.

If that is the case I would call IBI asap to get the correct procedure on how to "migrate/modernize" to WF 8.

Jay: I'd like good news too. I think the best news (?) would be that something like Tom suggested would become part of the automated WebFOCUS 8.x.y.z process or someone out there would write a fex which would read all other fexes and take their path and change "-INCLUDE program_name" to "-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE folder/program_name".

Mattc: What if it's from 7.6.11?

Yes it was originally converted and it did work when running from the converted folder. But we are changing our domain concept and are moving the fexes around. Plus it is a way for me to learn how I have to create new fexes. Also if I can get all my code working the new way then I do not have to worry about other upgrades as much in the future.

Doug - I think you have to jump to 7.7 to get to 8.

The answer for me was to edit every bit of code and include the path name to get it to work the new way. The intial convert did work, but to use the code in a new folder I had to add the path.
