Hi, I have a .NET application that is invoking MRE reports. I have a long running report that times out. Can I run deferred? If so, how do I notify the person that the report is available?


Version: 8.0.0.6
Windows platform
All output formats will probably be used.

Yes, you can run deferred.

You would do this with WebFocusRunFex (See page 99 of the WebServices Manual), and setting MREDeferred to "True" within the FexInfo structure (See page 67 of the WebServices Manual).

You would use MREDeferStatus (Page 319) to check the status of your deferred request, and give that output to the end-user in any format you wish to notify them.

What version of Webservices Manual are you using? I don't have the same pages as you.

Actually, what I am really looking for is some design suggestions. I want to invoke the report to run deferred from .NET, but not sure how to alert that the report is done. Can I do programmatically behind the screens in intervals or should I make them click a button to refresh the status.

Looking to see who has done this before via a .NET app, and how they designed the page.

The latest version from the TechSupport Site.

You should also be able to search on "WebFocusRunFex" or "MREDeferStatus" to find the appropriate sections in any manual version.
