OK. I have found a work around. Admin group is working on a solution. Once I hear from them I will post what they come up with.

My work around.

Instead of using the parameters I wrote a javascript procedure

function button3_OnClick(ctrl) {
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
Cont=document.getElementById('edit1');
if (Cont.value == "")
{
alert(msgtxt = "You must provide a Contract ID.");
					return false;
}
else
{
defer = false;
parent.report1.location="http://dotscomrep1.co.dot.state.fl.us/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=WFWINP1&IBIAPP_app=custom&&IBIMR_drill=X,dococns1/dococns1.htm&IBIF_ex=app/dwr__lis%2Efex&CLICKED_ON=&AUTH2=FOC_NONE&CONT="+Cont.value;
}
}

that simply executes the following url [URL=http://dotscomrep1.co.dot.state.fl.us/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=WFWINP1&IBIAPP_app=custom&&IBIMR_drill=X,dococns1/dococns1.htm&IBIF_ex=app/dwr__lis%2Efex&CLICKED_ON=&AUTH2=FOC_NONE&CONT="+Cont.value;]Calls Report[/URL] to execute the fex procedure.

I use this url Call HTML Page to call the HTML page.

I still have some issues to work out for example how to call a fex procedure and defer it using a URL. And I also have some help files with images I need to figure out how to refer to the images outside of mre.

Thanks for all your suggestion and ideas.

Mike,

I know this is going to seem like a silly question but I just have to ask. Why are you trying to run a page in MRE from outside MRE? Isn't the user security thing the basic premise for the MRE? Can you put your page in one of the Application Directories on the data server? That would eliminate the security issue would it not?

Yes it would, I don't have access to the server. Only our MRE Admin have access to the server. This was a request from our users. We have a .net application which provides about 95% of the user needs but does not have any reports, they wanted us to link to the reports on the dashboard which we are doing but we had one report where we needed to link to the HTML page instead due to the # of parameters needed. Thanks for the interest.

I made a comment on the Tech Support site regarding Redirect MR Developer users to a specific page after logon, stating that a complete example would be a good idea to have included in the Tech Support "technique". They only mention that a parameter called "SIGNON_CRT_DOM_ADMIN" needs to be included on the login form.

Later, Tech Support sent me some example code which contains code I have never used before. Here it is:

<html>
    <head>
       <title>Developer Signon</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <font size=4>
       <form name="form" action="/ibi_apps/WFServlet">
          <p> UserID :
             <input type="text" name="IBIMR_user" value="">
          <p>PassWord :
             <input type="password" name="IBIMR_pass" value="">
          <p>
 
          <input type=submit name="submit" value="Submit">
          <input type=reset name="reset" value="Reset">
 
          <input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_action" value="MR_SIGNON">
 
          <input type="hidden" name="SIGNON_CORRECT"
                 value="http://www.cnn.com/?SIGNON_CORRECT">
          <input type="hidden" name="SIGNON_CORRECT_ADMIN"
                 value="http://www.cnn.com/?SIGNON_CORRECT_ADMIN">
          <input type="hidden" name="SIGNON_INCORRECT"
                 value="http://www.cnn.com/?SIGNON_INCORRECT">
          <input type="hidden" name="SIGNON_CRT_DOM_ADMIN"
               value="http://www.cnn.com/?SIGNON_CRT_DOM_ADMIN">
 
          <input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_random" value="">
          <script>
             document.form.IBIMR_random.value = Math.random();
          </script>
       </font>
    </body>
</html>

Francis,
Just so you know, those can be passed as either hidden form variables, or can be entered within site.wfs logic to control the behavior.

e.g.
SIGNON_CORRECT=http://www.google.com

Both syntax options also supports relative URL's.

e.g.
SIGNON_CORRECT=/ibi_apps/wfsysinf.jsp

Also, all of those parameters will show up in the tail end of a WFServlet trace if you're wondering where it is that someone grabbed them from.

Thanks,
Doug Logan

That's for MR.

Can someone tell me the form of a url to invoke a non-MR launch page?

On WFRS, in some APP folder. To be accessed from within the client's intranet.

Some installations use different servers - the URL in Tom's post works for files that are on the web server, not the reporting server. I'm not sure how to reference an html file on the reporting server. Perhaps the quickest method is to run a fex that uses -HTMLFORM filename.htm to include the html file.

Hi Francis,
It's not a web server, it is the reporting server. I took out the :8080...My Bad!

Users click on the link in the Luminus portal, which, calls the htm in the apps/public_reports folder...

FYI...

Tom, the 8080 is mine, not yours, so no Bad on your part.

But I still can't get it to work. I tried your URL (with or without without 8080).

I start with this:

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIWF_action=WF_SIGNON&IBIC_user=admin&IBIC_pass=admin&WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE=http://localhost:8080/approot/test/dummy1.htm

The web browser address changes to this:

http://localhost:8080/approot/test/dummy1.htm?IBIxdum=0.1869789908830345

with this Apache Tomcat error:
HTTP Status 404 - /approot/test/dummy1.htm - The requested resource (/approot/test/dummy1.htm) is not available.

If I try this:

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIWF_action=WF_SIGNON&IBIC_user=admin&IBIC_pass=admin&WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE=http://localhost/approot/test/dummy1.htm

The web browser address changes to this:

http://localhost/approot/test/dummy1.htm?IBIxdum=0.7852779287730152

with this Internet Explorer error:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Hi Francis, this works great for us.
We are on the Luminous portal, the URL is:

  
<a href="https://OUR_SERVER/approot/public_reports/stu_crssectscan.htm" target="_new"><img alt="web page bullet" src="tag.idempotent.worker.carRsrc.target.u14l1n76.uP?carRsrc=com/sct/banner/portals/ui/wi_ssmenu/media/web_cp_form.gif" border="0" height="16" width="18"><span class="uportal-text">(105) Course Section Scan</span></a>

Then, the code in public_report/stu_crssectscan.htm is:

  
<html>
 <head>
 <script>
function newURL()
{
  window.location.href="https://OUR_SERVER/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIWF_action=WF_SIGNON&IBIC_user=wf_guest&IBIC_pass=*********&WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE=https://OUR_SERVER/approot/public_reports/stu_crssectscan_page.htm";
  }
 </script>
 </head>
 <body onload="newURL()">
 </body>
</html>

The stu_crssectscan_page.htm gives the user the parameter page...
Should be generic, but, guess not if you are having issues...

Is public_reports a folder on the reporting server? Perhaps this folder is used by both the reporting server and the web server...
