-TYPE &IBIMR_domain
this command in a fex within a domain, works just fine.
this command from a fex on the backend (in ibi/apps/{someapp} makes up a value for itself.
it gives a valid domainname...but the app and the domain aren't related...
where is this coming from?
How can i override it? its making me nuts.

Is the value for &IBIMR_domain set in the site profile, with code that looks something like this:

<set> IBIC_server (pass)
<set> IBIMR_domain (pass)
<set> IBIMR_folder (pass)
<set> MR_BASE_DIR (pass)


Are you running your app fex via MRE or outside MRE?

Perhaps the last accessed domain is being passed...

I am logged in to MRE in one web browser window and I have run a fex within an MRE domain ,

Then I run an app fex in another web browser window, &IBIMR_domain contains the value of the domain of the other MRE program I ran.

my fex is in a app directory

and its not.

Susannah, what do you have in the custonm settings in site.wfs? This may affect &IBMR_user.

I'm not sure what Tom refers to when he mentions "RS". I am under the assumption that for all WebFOCUS executions, self-service or MRE, site.wfs is invoked.

francesco
the server site.wfs is empty
the client site.wfs has
IBIMR_user(PASS)
IBIMR_domain(PASS)
IBIC_user(PASS)
and that's it.
i'm just puzzled that domain has anything in it at all, when the execution comes from the backend.
i would expect &IBIMR_domain to be empty.
wouldn't you?

I just don't know why you would have to do this, but you could try changing the Custom Settings in the Admin Console to this:

<IFDEF> IBIC_user
  <SET> IBIC_user = &IBIC_user (PASS)
<ENDIF>

<IFDEF> IBIMR_user
  <SET> IBIMR_user = &IBIMR_user (PASS)
  <SET> IBIMR_domain = &IBIMR_domain (PASS)
<ENDIF>

Pass the ID and Domain variable only if the ID exists or pass 'unknown' if the ID does not exist:

<IFDEF> IBIC_user
  <SET> IBIC_user = &IBIC_user (PASS)
<ELSE>
  <SENDVAR>
    IBIC_user = unknown
  <ENDSENDVAR>
<ENDIF>

<IFDEF> IBIMR_user
  <SET> IBIMR_user = &IBIMR_user (PASS)
  <SET> IBIMR_domain = &IBIMR_domain (PASS)
<ELSE>
  <SENDVAR>
    IBIMR_user = unknown
    IBIMR_domain = unknown
  <ENDSENDVAR>
<ENDIF>


I have tested this code on my local test server. Be careful, because some coding mistakes causes the client to fail and you have to restart the web server.

clever you are francesco
i'll try that on my dev box
for the moment, i'm having my users all rewrite any backend apps to say
-SET &IBMR_domain='nodomain';
awful, i know, but it works.
but you gave me another idea
if i first test for &IBMR_user ... you get my drift...gonna go do that now...
oh rats that didn't work. of course it didn't work. my bid users will all have an IBMR_user
