I am thinking to write a fex that will do some stuff and then at the end, open the group view in the existing window. Is there a way to do that? what is the wfc command to open the group view in th existing window?

To access a group view directly via a URL you can do the following:
http://hostname/ibi_apps/bid?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_GBV_VERIFY
&groupName=grouphref&WORP_USER=username&WORP_MPV=viewurl&WORP_PASS=pass&
WHERE:
hostname is the name of the system where Dashboard is installed
grouphref is the href for the Group (see properties for the Group in
Managed Reporting)
*** Make sure you don't include the (#) pound sign in your grouphref
username is the user attempting to log in
pass is the password for the user attempting to login
viewurl is the View Name created by Dashboard (for example, aa_gbv).
Since you're operating from within a fex, you could use this technique in a -HTMLFORM block and start the group view that way. You will have to use a document.location or some other javascript statement to do the redirect to the group view.
Let me know if this helps.

Also, I tried typing this directly on the browser window (with server name added in front), I got "Illegal request attempt: session has expired or been invalidated. Before attempting to execute any requests you must acquire a users session."
I thought that was supposed to do the login part?This message has been edited. Last edited by: mike,

Is this code in the HTMLFORM part of a fex? If so, you may need to separate the & from the variable name or Dialogue Manager will try to substitute &WORPUSER. Try this:
yes, that '|' after the & sign works! thanks. But! It is not picking up the group view I specified. I am thinking maybe I am missing the &groupName parm. What is this &groupName parm? Is it the href of the domain; ie, xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.htm? I tried that. It did not work.

I am using admin id. I tried the groupName=default%20group. Did not work. Since you mentioned # sign, I am speculating that maybe it is the domain folder href. Tried that. Did not work either. I am on v7.1; so, it is not version issue. I guessed it is not working.

Login to MRE. Go to User Administration. Click once on the group Name, then click Properties. The name that must be in the URL is the HREF, but without the #. For "default group", it is "#default", so enter "default" in the URL for &groupName.

As I said, I did update the platform and version info previously. I now also added the output types info. If they are not where they s/b or whatever, you really do have to tell me exactly to put what at where so that I don't have to do this multiple times and yet not where you want.

In Kerry's message is a hyperlink to your Profile. Click on it.
On your Profile page is a hyperlink to View/Edit Complete Profile. Click on it.
On your Edit Profile page is a text box called Signature. In the text box enter the suggested information. It appears you have successfully entered the output types you usually work with. Just enter the rest of the info.
Perhaps the text field "WF Production Version" confused you? That is not what's displayed at the bottom of all your postings, the Signature is.
Cheers,
Francis

exactly! It is confusing to have the text field "WF Production Version" etc. right below the signature box expecting that we repeat the same info there! But, it is now done.
