Odd one this time -- I have a drill-down on a column in WebFOCUS, and it works properly in both html and in excel, producing a hyperlink with a shape like this -- 

 
 url=http://fmisg2:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE . . .


When I run the same report with pdf format, I get an error. It's producing a hyperlink with a shape like this --

 
 url=http://ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE . . .


I'm losing the server name off the beginning of the request, which naturally results in a broken link. Has anyone else encountered this? I couldn't come up with a search on techsupport that produced a result for the same error.

J.

Try adding the FOCEXURL setting:
SET FOCEXURL = path

where path is the location of the WebFOCUS Servlet. The default path for Servlet is /ibi_apps/WFServlet. I would put the full path:

http://fmisg2:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet

If the server name is different for your Dev and Prod environments, use a variable (that could be populated from the client custom settings).

Did not fix. Oh my, this one may be tougher than I thought.

 
SET FOCEXURL='http://fmisg2:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet';


Tried it with and without the quotes.

That doesn't help either. I'll clarify -- other pdf drill-downs are working. This one in particular is not. It codes properly in html and Excel, but not in pdf. Feels like a bug in WF.

Perhaps you need to narrow down the problem...
