| [SOLVED] Run or Run Deferred | Login/Join |
| Master |
Hi all, I'm wondering. Is there a way to detect whether the fex is 'running' or 'running deferred'? I'd like to include a fex at the end of every other fex that will send an email to the user when the procedure is done. But only when being "Run deferred". Any clues?This message has been edited.

do you use resource analyser? if so you might see some extra information in the logging fields.

You can use a different profile for the DFM agents. Just set a variable in that that you can test | ||

Add the following to the Custom Settings of the WebFOCUS Administration Console: <set> IBIMR_defer (pass) You will now have a Dialogue Manager variable available in every executed fex. The value for a deferred execution will be "defer", the value for immediate execution will be blank. Francis  Give me code, or give me retirement.

Thanks all, so far. I like Francis' idea. But help me out here a little. I'm just a report-developper, not an administrator  From the documentation I understand what it is. But how does this work? I mean, what will prevent this <set>to be executed when just using "run"? _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||

Hi, Running it live or deferred will no prevent the passing of the variable IBIMR_defer. Only thing is based on how it is being run either a blank or 'defer' will be passed. <set>commands in the config files will allow the varibales to be passed to the user session to be used in the fex. (pass) does it. Hopefully I am not confusing you here. thanks Sashanka WF 7.7.03/Windows/HTML,PDF,EXL POC/local Dev Studio 7.7.03 & 7.6.11 | |||

<set> IBIMR_defer (pass)can only be placed in configuration files, it cannot be executed in program code. This setting allows the passing of a system variable to the WebFOCUS program as a Dialogue Manager variable. Unfortunately, many system variables are NOT passed by default, e.g. MRE Domain, MRE Folder, MRE Base Directory, MRE User/Password, Server User/Password... If you don't want to do this, then can use JavaScript to populate a different, non-system form variable from the value of the system variable &IBIMR_defer.

Sashanka, I tested a deferred report and &IBIMR_defer is not passed unless the setting is added to the Custom Settings configuration file. Francis Give me code, or give me retirement.

I still don't get it. I know it's a config file setting. And when the fex is run it's available for the dialog manager. But what is the difference between "run" and "run deferred" that makes this config file decide whether to set or not set this variable? I've have the exact same fex. _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||

Hi, The Config file does not set this value unless explicitly set in the custom settings. These system variables have a value based on how a fex is being run -- if a fex is run normally IBIMR_defer will have a blank, if it is run in deferred mode IBIMR_defer will have 'defer'. This is how the WF client knows how to process the request. When you run the fex from the developer studio internally all it does is to call the WF servlet with appropriate parameters - so the system will know it is a deferred request when it sees a value of 'defer' for the param IBIMR_defer. <set>in the config file -- all it does is to globally set a value to the variable and when used along with (pass) it is passed to the WF procedure to be used as Francis said. This is my understanding of the system.Hopefully I am making some sense here. thanks Sashanka WF 7.7.03/Windows/HTML,PDF,EXL POC/local Dev Studio 7.7.03 & 7.6.11 | |||

Ah, the dark-arts-teacher... Yo, got it now. It's not setting a variable, it's telling the server to make it available for the DM. I wonder what other kind of wonderful and useful information is kept behind... ...and why is it default to -not- pass them. Thanks all. _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||
