Hi All,

Our reports have been decommissioned from PROD.So the MRE dashboard is no more being used.
But for the team I have to give a "PROD IBI Menu" so that they can run reports if required. I've all links in a .htm file as abc.htm.
Can you please let me know how do I publish a link so that the team can access "The Menu" ?


I found some thing like this here ---

http://[server]/cgi-bin/ibi_cg...ation]&IBIF_ex=[fex]

I trie to make this work, but I didn't get.

Also what is "IBIC_Server" ?

Thanks !

Don't use CGI. Use WFServlet.
IBIC_Server is the server name (ODIN node).

You also need to takeinto account many other things, depending on the setup of the WF server.

e.g.
Is the focexecs in an app directory in the app path defined on the server ? You may have to add the parameter IBIAPP_app to point to the correct path.

Also, are these reports sensitive, does the menu need to be secure. You may need to add in your own security checks.

I would also suggest not using links to call the reports, but use forms with the method set to POST, as this is more secure, the URL call will not end up in your browsers cache.
