We use URL's all the time to link to report FEX files in the EDASERVE "Self-Serve" environment, such as this one...

http://svr99wfrs/ibi_apps/WFSe...apacity&CLICKED_ON=&

Is there any way to reference an HTML form in the self-serve environment like we do with Fex's?

Certainly:
http://web_server_name/approot/dirname/htmlfile.htm

Ginny's suggestion allows you to access HTML files sitting in the Web Server; if your Reporting Server is running in the same box chances are both services are "seeing" the same files as APPROOT may be pointing to the exact physical location.

However, if the Reporting Server (EDASERVE) is running in a different box to that where the Web Server is, you'll probably need to do something like the following in order to access HTML files sitting in that box:

http://edaserve_host:8121/approot/dirname/htmlfile.htm

8121 is the "default" port used by the Reporting Server unless a different one has been configured.

- Neftali.

The other way, if the Web server is on a different box, is to have a FEX that returns the HTML file.

-HTMLFORM {app}/{htmlfile}

Just pass in the app folder and file name.

If its possible to get URL for FEX files, then create a fex with just

 -INCLUDE homepage.html 

or as Waz said -HTMLFORM.

The URL to execute a FEX file is http{s}://server{: port}/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex={fexname} ....

There are many options to the servlet call.
