Hi all,

So I have been searching and can't seem to get a solution for this. I've found a lot for drilling from a .fex created in AppStudio but nothing from InfoAssist.

My issue is that I have a Chart created in InfoAssist and I want to drill down to a HTML page that is in the repository. (I'm not even bothered with passing the parameters yet though I'm sure that will be the next issue)

Anyway I have selected Web Page for the drill option and have place the following in the URL field.
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_LAUNCH&BIP_FOLDER=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/MK&BIP_Item=drill_test.htm


However the response that comes back is 'Bad value in stylesheet file at line xx: URL=' (then the above url)

I have been searching all day for a solution and am hoping someone can assist.
Many thanks

I have reproduced your problem. You can't just paste that full URL. You have to put localhost:8080/ibi_apps/run.bip in the URL and then the three parameters separately BIP_REQUEST, BIP_folder, and BIP_item. However when I tried it that way but InfoAssist did not like the parameter value for the BIP_folder evidently the /'s cause an issue. You may have to open a case to get this resolved.

How about drilling to a FEX that contains the -HTMLFORM {your HTML file} instead of drilling directly to the HTML file?
