Hi All,

When we generate a PDF report, it will come with some name.Is it possible to specify the name for the report while executing or while sending the request?

I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. Requesting it from where? Sending it how?

I am able to access the reports from jsp when i click on any link. But those reports are coming with some random name, but i want to generate the report with particular name.

Is it possible to specify the name for our reports?

I haven't tested this but it may work:

In your WebFOCUS Client, change your Redirection Settings enabling "Save_Report" for PDF output.

Then in your .fex try something like this:

TABLE FILE CAR
....
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF AS myreport
END

Upon running your code, you may be prompted to Open/Save a file which should now be "myreport.pdf" instead of the random one generated by default.

That is if you have access to the WebFocus Client settings.

Also, If you use njsden's suggestion, the pdf files will open in a the users default .pdf program (usually some kind of pdf viewer) rather than the browser.

If those two things aren't an issue than go for it

Thankyou for all your reply.

I am not able to findout "Redirection Settings" in my webfocus 7.7.03.

I got this information in below URL how to add the name change feature.

http://documentation.informati....htm?url=topic41.htm

But i am not able to find the "redirection settings". can anyone tell me where this settings will be there in 7.7.03????

Like the link says it is in the webfocus administration console (SERVER/ibi_apps/console/webfocusconsole.jsp) and you will need special privileges like I said.

I am able to access my webfocus administration console. After clicking on "Welcome to WEBFOCUS" link which is on right side i got one window but i didn't found any option for "redirection settings". Can anyone help me where this option will be there?

You shouldn't have to click on anything after you sign in besides the options you want to choose from the menu. If all you see is quick links on the left side, then you do not have adequate permissions.

If you have a level of "Developer" on the top-left corner than you will need an admin to change the settings for you.

it should be under CONFIGURATION

njsden, Rakesh P & J: Thankyou very much for your reply.

njsden: Your screenshot explained me every thing.

I requested for admin access but after giving the access level is showing as a developer then also they are telling we gave you admin level access.

I will check with my admin to get the administrator level access.

Thankyou once again.
