Hi,

I am trying to call a MRE report through self service using WFSERVLET. Is there any way that I can pass the userid and password using the IBIMR_ variables so that I can be authenticated.

Thanks.

Remove your hidden variable and try with this,

Changed all the parameters matching with urs except IBIC_Server. Change that to point your data server.

<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_action" value="MR_RUN_FEX">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_sub_action" value="MR_STD_REPORT">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_domain" value="sdwdm001/sdwdm001.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_folder" value="#sdwstandardr">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIC_server" value="SQ259R45">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_fex" value="app/5agentre.fex">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIF_ex" value="app/5agentre.fex">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_defer" value="" >
<input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_drill" value="RUNNID">

Hope it helps,

Error occurred.
ERROR: ERROR_MR_MISSING_STRING IBIMR_cookie

Webfocus cookies are domain based cookies. So, verify that the domain part of the url defined in your form tag (http://server/ibi_apps/WFServlet) is identical to the one you see for your drill down. If they are different by even 1 character (e.g. http://server.something.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet), then that is your problem.
