The above is almost certainly not correct when your output is in fact HTML.

No, it´s not. That was a remediation to reach report goal.

I ran your code in Chrome Version 47.0.2526.111 using WF 8105 and it opened an Excel worksheet with the two reports in it. Is that not what you wanted to see?

OMG. BabakNYC, I am using the Chrome Version 47.0.2526.111 and APP Studio 8105 Gen 09132015 and It didn't open the excel. It creates a WFServlet.


Are you running it from MRE or URL?

I am trying to run it as http://http://localhost:8080/i...vlet?IBIF_ex=browser

Weird!

Yes you get a WFServlet and you'd have to pick an application to open it. If it's not automatically opening it in Excel, see if you can browse for it.

Do you mean it is configuration in Chrome? Maybe installing an extention?


I am able to open it on Excel after rename it to any_file.XLS

I believe it has to do with mime.wfs. Take a look at this case in tech support and see if it's the same problem.

Ricardo,

This issue with Chrome first showed up a couple years ago. I believe it has to do with a change by chrome regardign how it handles the MHT extension (Which I believe is how the excel file gets sent if it is not saved on the server first). As Babak mentions, you can resolve this by adjusting the mime.wfs for the excel formats.

To adjust that file, you can do so in the Administration Console which is accessible from the client. Open up the Admin Console, expand the configuration section and go to redirection settings. You'll find what you need there.

BabakNYC, I am not able to reach that case. I am getting HTTP 404 - File not found.


Also No documents matched the query "(((@all chrome AND support) AND (@all 92662013) AND (@ProductName APPSTUDIO OR DEVSTUDIO OR "PC/FOCUS" OR "WF/JDE" OR "WF/SAP" OR WORLDMART OR "WF/PPLSOFT" OR RESGOVERNOR OR RESANALYZER OR WEBFOCUS OR WF* OR EDA* OR IWAY* OR RPTSERV OR "WF/MAINTAIN" OR CACTUS OR "WF/PMF" OR "WF/RPTCASTER" OR "WF/VISUALDIS") AND NOT #filename *.pdf) OR ((@all chrome AND support) AND (@all 92662013) AND #filename *.pdf) AND NOT ((#vpath *\archive\*) OR (@Archive ARCHIVE)))".


Eric, I changed that redirection settings at my APP Studio but nothing changes.

As mentioned already, goto administration console-->client settings-->redirection seetings-->.xls[change 'Save Report' from no to yes.]

You're good to go. Ask your WF admin to make the changes.

You have to change in local reporting server running locally then, which should be http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/

Rifaz, As I said before, I went administration console-->client settings-->redirection seetings-->.xls[change 'Save Report' from no to yes.]

Reopened App Studio, then I opened browser.fex from chrome and I still get the result as WFServlet.

Hello,

Here is some information from our site regarding Chrome compatibility:

A change in the way Chrome works has caused it to stop respecting the XMH format as a Web Archive. A combination of two settings is required to resolve this problem:
Use SET WEBARCHIVE = OFF to change WebFOCUS processing from XMH to XHT format.
Change the Redirection Settings for the XHT format to Yes/Yes to redirect and
save the report to XLS format.

1. SET WEBARCHIVE = OFF
You can specify the command either directly within the .fex procedure itself
or you can specify the command within the edasprof.prf. Placing the command
within the edasprof.prf file allows it to be globally enabled for all
requests.
To set the command in the edasprof:
http://server:8121 (for a default installation)
Click Workspace and then Expand Configuration Files
Right click "Server Profile - edasprof.prf
Add SET WEBARCHIVE = OFF to a new line at the bottom of the file.

2. To set the Redirection Settings:
http://server:8080/ibi_apps/
Click WebFOCUS Administration Console
Expand Configuration
Click Redirection Settings
Change the settings for .xht format to Yes and Yes
Click Save at the bottom of the page
Click Clear Cache at the top of the page.

Please let me know if this solves your problem.


Thanks,
Emily McAllister
