Hello,

Is there a way using WebFOCUS fex code to find out the MRE domain or folder name (HREF name) that the running fex code is in?

Or is there system variable providing that information?

This is important to develop complex but flexible webfocus application.


Thanks,
William

There's a built-in variable for the domain:
&IBIMR_domain


not sure about the folder--you could use the fex name (&FOCFOCEXEC) and the domain in a query against your repository to determine the folder.

once you know the domain (from &IBIMR_domain, eg), you can filedef and then 'read' that domain's {domain}.htm file. That's how i do it. Francis wrote some code a while back that helps do a read of such a whacky, irregular .htm file; have a look at one of yours, and see the field values you'ld be looking for .
problem comes ifyou install pmf on the same box, it really screws up the way these governing .htm files are set up and managed by the mre front end.

Add these parameters to the Custom Settings to the WebFOCUS Client via the Admin Console:

<set> IBIMR_user = &IBIMR_user (pass)
<set> IBIMR_domain = &IBIMR_domain (pass)
<set> MR_BASE_DIR = &MR_BASE_DIR (pass)
<set> IBIMR_folder = &IBIMR_folder (pass)
<set> IBIMR_fex = &IBIMR_fex (pass)
<set> IBIMR_defer = &IBIMR_defer (pass)
