[SOLVED] IBIAPP_app for maintain links ?
I’m curious about this WFServlet variable

IBIAPP_app= app path location under APPROOT where the procedure resides

Does this WFServlet variable really need to be sent to start a maintain program ?
It can be ignored in WFMSTART.HTML as long as the maintain is located in APPPATH, so that implies that it could be ignored, or left empty.

My impression is that, as long as ones application files are located in a directory that is known to APPPATH, they don't need to be
seperately 'allocated' (showing my age).

What's the scoop ?

The answer to this is Depends.

If you application is in the default path set up on the WF server then NO.

If youe application is not in the path or you are not sure what it may be when you try to start the app, then YES. this is also good, if you are trying to secure the app to some level.
