Hi, I'd like to invoke a simple report on the webfocus servlet from an simple html form inside my application. Suprisingly, I'm having a hard time finding out how to do this. Can I even do this, or do I have to use some kind of webfocus java api? Can someone tell me how, and/or point me to the area of the online docs where it talks about this? Thanks

Here is how:
http://server_name/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=fexname&I...ION=$*&OUTPUT=REPORT

You need the app name to direct it to the right directory so it won't search the full app path. The rest are just a list of amper variables.

Thanks Steve, I'll try and work with that; where can I read instructions about this in the documentation? Can you denote things I'm supposed to substitute in that rule with brackets - I'm not sure which are webfocus related and which I'm supposed to supply. Also, what are the dollar signs? Thanks

Followup: I just called a report using that technique! Thanks so much. Where does it talk about this in the documentation? Thanks
