I am having problems with a drill to another report from a report casted (emailed) report.

After looking at a bunch of post regarding this I have added the following line to the top of the report that is being emailed...

SET FOCEXURL = http://myserver/ibi_apps/WFServlet - where myserver is our server path

I know my problem is that we are a MRE shop and all the reports we use are run through it, So I am not sure where to place the report that it is trying to drill to in order to be seen outside of MRE. I tried publishing the report and then replacing the focexec=app/reportname with focexec=publishedname and this did not work.

What directory on the server do these fex's have to exist for the WFServlet to see it (i.e. WebFOCUS76\ibi_html) or do you even place them somewhere else?

Thanks.

Chet, what we encourage is that you post your solution to your question, when you figure it out for yourself. so that the thread becomes useful for others when performing a search.
Good idea, yes?
Thanks.

Sure.

I ended up draging and droping the FEX out of Dev Studio into the apps/baseapp directory on our IBI server.

Once that was there, I was able to reference the fex name by using the SET FOCEXURL = http://myserver/ibi_apps/WFServlet - where myserver is our server path
and also removing the app/ in front of the fex name after the focexec command.

Seems to be working fine now.
