I was able to run deferred reports from the domain, where I included IBIMR_defer=defer in the HTML code:


<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_domain' value='finapacc/finapacc.htm'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_folder' value='#rcmatchi2wmx'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIF_ex' value='app/rcmrpts.fex'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_fex' value='app/rcmrpts.fex'>
<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_defer' value=''>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_drill' value='RUNNID'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_random' value=''>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_defer' value='Defer'>

----*
When I moved the app to the server, my HTML code was:

<!--------------------------------------------------------------servlet --- -->
<input type="hidden" name="IBIC_server" value="BIMCT01">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIAPP_app" value="aprcm">
<input type='hidden' name='IBIF_ex' value='rcmrpts.fex'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_fex' value='rcmrpts.fex'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_defer' value='Defer'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_drill' value='RUNNID'>
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_random' value=''>

The report does not run deferred at all. Has anyone been able to run deferred reports in a self-service app? We are running WebFocus 526.

Running Report Deferred is a feature of MRE/UAS and cannot be done is self-service.

According to IBI's doc# 72271005 titled 'How to run Deferred Mode in Self Service Application' it is possible to do... They don't give the code that's needed so I don't know if their doc is incorrect or I don't have the correct code.

thanks.

That doc does imply that there is a way to submit the deferred outside of MRE - but not to come back later and pick up the results. I would think a complete self-serve solution would include both.
I would be interested in such a solution too- but I don't think its possible.

I cannot find document

on the IBI Tech Support website. Has anyone had better luck? Has anyone successfully run a self service report in deferred mode?

No one has an update on this?

Hi Francis,

I have been following up with internal people regarding the broken link. Will keep the topic posted.

Cheers,

Hi all,

FYI, the information will be updated on techsupport site shortly. Here is the solution section from the case:

DEFERRED MODE is a function of the Managed Reporting Environment (MRE), so as such it is not supported outside of MRE. There have been several new feature requests to allow this functionality outside of MRE.

One technique used by some customers is to "PUBLISH" your procedure from within MRE and then edit the HTML page and "cut & paste" the "IBIMR" information into your Self Service code. This will allow you to submit the
requests, but you will still need MRE to view the output.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry

Kerry, thank you for looking into this for us.

To bad the solution doesn't sound as amazing as I'd hoped.

Cheers.

The deferred output gets stored on the reporting server. To retrieve it we need some record tying the output together with the person who submitted it. That's where Managed Reporting comes in. The ueserid.htm contains a record of the requests submitted by that user so that they can retrieve them at a later time.
