Hi,
Have installed Dev studio in a machine which has windows XP as OS. Connection made to a remote reporting server. Can get into the MRE and see the reports under the domain. But while executing the reports it shows the content of an html file with all the variables as follows in the Internet Explorer as follows.
It is not showing the original report output.













Can anyone help us to resolve this. Acrobat reader 7.0 and Excel 2000 are installed in the PC.


Regards,

try this:

Try this....

Open up Windows Explorer
click on Tools
Internet options
click on the Advanced Tab
scroll down to Security and make sure "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"

This should run the report instead of echoing the HTML

Good Luck!
Carol

I think Carol means Internet Explorer and not Windows Explorer. However, we do not have that parm set and all our content from BID and MRE shows in the browser fine.

I have had a look at the HTML code you posted (btw, when posting code use the tags [ code ] and [ /code ] without the spaces, to surround the code you post) and it looks like this -
<html>
<head>
<body onload="document.form.submit[)">
<form method="POST" name="form" action="HTTP://remote server/ibi_apps/WFServlet">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_action" value="MR_RUN_FEX">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_sub_action" value="MR_OLAP">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_fex" value="n4dap.fex">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_domain" value="gc1devd1/gc1devd1.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_flags" value="skipamper">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_random" value="9769">
</form>
</html>
There are a few syntax errors in this such as no closing head or body tags and the braces following the document.form.submit should be standard braces and not a combination of square and round.

So out of this code I think that the braces are probably causing you a problem (unless they are a type when you posted your code?) and also you may want to use 'app/' before your fex name.

If neither of these help then try using one of the alternatives to servlets.

I would also be inclined to add the following two input tags -
<INPUT type=hidden value=#yourMREfoldername name ="IBIMR_folder">
<INPUT type=hidden name ="IBIAPP_app" ismre="1">
where youMREfoldername can be found by right clicking on the standard reports sub folder and selecting properties, much the same way that you would obtain the domain value.
