I have created an html page to run a .fex procedure and can view it successfully from webfocus portal. From chrome browser, I can see the url with the format like this:
[url=http://webserver/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=folder1&BIP_item=report1.htm&windowHandle=236625&IBI_random=1234]

I plan to publish this link to external application to launch all public reports together with SSO integration. I have reviewed several similar posts which suggest the url using WFServlet with IBIMR_xxx params, but I'm unable to test it successfully in WebFocus 8.2. Those parameters IBIMR_xxx cannot be found in v8.2 docs. The Developing Reporting App 8.2 doc only provides some info about calling WFServlet to run .fex procedure.

So I want to know what's the exact form of the url to launch html page? Should I use run.bip or WFServlet? any help will be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you want to use run.bip. I ran an HTML from the domain and copied the URL it generated. Then I opened a different browser and used the URL to open the same HTML. I got prompted for my sign on uid/pwd and then the HTML opened. I'm not sure if this is a good test but I think it shows that run.bip should work with or without SSO.

Hi,

Can you please let me know which doc describes the usage of run.bip? I'm not sure how to set the value for parameter windowHandle or IBI_random?

Thanks.
