Hi,

I want to create a hyperlink to a .htm page that lives in the MRE. Which of these is considered the 'correct' method?
In the examples below:
DOMAIN = domain01
.HTM file = mywebpage.htm
.FEX file = myprocedure.fex

1) Call the .htm page directly

....s://hostname.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&,domain01/domain01.htm&IBIF_ex=app/mywebpage


2) Call a .fex that simply has -HTMLFORM app/mywebpage.htm in it

....s://hostname.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&,domain01/domain01.htm&IBIF_ex=app/myprocedure


Are both methods acceptible?

Thanks,

Dan

I would use a URL that matches what is generated when right-clicking and selecting Run from the MRE > Domain > Standard Report > Folder location. It would look something like this:

http://server-name[:port]/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIMR_action=MR_RUN_FEX&IBIMR_sub_action=MR_STD_REPORT&IBIMR_fex=app/test1.htm&IBIMR_folder=#testfolder01&IBIMR_domain=untitled/untitled.htm

Ditto with Francis, but is this being called from outside of MRE ? You will need to authenticate.

Thanks Francis. That's a good idea. I suppose it's better to use the full 'official' URL so we don't run in to any issues.

Waz - It will actually be called from within the same domain so the user will have authenticated already. However, we are embedding it in a .swf file so we need the properly formed URL to get the page to launch.

Cheers!

BONUS! Francis, your suggestion got me thinking about how to call stuff in a URL and I was able to come up with a workaround to this issue

Thanks! Smiler
