[SOLVED]WebFOCUS 8 -- dyncalendar not working on production system

I have identical source code on two different platforms, both the same install of version 8. On my development system my calendar widgets, the date icons provided by dyncalendar, appear and function fully normally. On my production platform the exact same source code does not display the calendar widgets.

The source code that results in the browser from both systems is identical.

Is there a WebFOCUS system setting for dyncalendar? I've never run into this before and my search on ibi.com didn't bring me anything that seemed to apply.

Have you checked the developer tools of the browser to see if there are js errors or missing (404) files ?

I cracked open the resulting web pages (both the Dev and the Prod platform) and found errors in the latter. My SE reminded me that we had an issue with the Prod install, that I addressed by opening access to ibi_html in IIS. That likely was not sufficient, so I need to go back to that work and undo it, and change the install to match Dev.

Good advice. Thank you sir.

That was the issue. My Prod system's uriworkermap.properties file in Jakarta didn't have the pointers, they were in IIS instead. That's fine for images but apparently not for js files.

My Dev system was working fine, so I copied the lines from that one into Production. Production is now up and running properly.

Just to make sure I'm not bored, Dev has dropped like a stone when I did this, in spite of me making no changes to it whatsoever. No good deed goes unpunished! 404 on ibi_apps. Converting to version 8 has been quite a job.

I guess the question is, do you conform to the V8 way or force it to work the way you want ?

Please show me the documentation for the V8 way!

It appears that Tomcat has blown a gasket when setting up the ibi_apps alias. I have the logs out to an IBI SE to see if he can tell me what happened.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Version 8, it's just that it's been a very big transition from Version 7. Upgrades within Version 7 were a hassle, but manageable. The jump to Version 8 has been a couple of hundred hours at this job site, and my other client will be even bigger. It's a big change.

The biggest difference is that ibi_html is access through ibi_apps.

e.g. http...../ibi_apps/ibi_html/...

A -INCLUDE has to be absolute pathing.

e.g. -INCLUDE IBFS:/WFC/Repository/{folders}/myitem.fex
