<SOLVED>Edit of DevStudio HTML page in App Studio - HTML page no longer works

I have an HTML page that was created in Dev Studio and my end-users have successfully ran the report via reporting dashboard/portal for several years. I had a request to change a parameter on the HTML parameter page to allow for an "All" selection. Using App Studio I edited successfully the HTML page and saved it. I ran the HTML page successfully from App Studio without issues. My end-user though is not able to run the HTML page and therefore report. My end-user instead gets a message stating "JavaScript alias /ibi_html/ is not valid. Clicking "OK" on the message allows the html page to load but my control boxes which are dynamically populated will not load with the parameter selections.


I as a developer with access to App Studio am able to run the HTML page successfully and create output via the content tree. I can also access and successfully run the HTML page if I log into the WF portal welcome screen and run the portal and then the HTML driven report. If I log in as a test user that takes me directly to the portal I get the error described above.

Is there something that I have to do when I edit a Dev Studio HTML page in App Studio that I am missing? It seems like there is something blocking it from full functionality....

I am on WF 8.1.05

Thanks for the help!

The alias /ibi_html has changed to /ibi_apps/ibi_html.

You could create an alias (ibi_html) in the web server to point to the ibi_html folder.

Waz,

I think my issue was that I had an html that was created using DS, modified using AS and then when I tried to move the html using AS from my TST server to PRD server I just did a drag/drop (copy/paste) from TST to PRD. This didn't get the pointers fixed. So, I ended up rebuilding the HTML and then used the Change Management feature to migrate the HTML from TST to PRD. CM fixes the pointer for you but since I didn't originally do that, it broke.
