[SOLVED] Redirect logoff in MRE
I have searched the database and am trying not to ask something thats been answered before.
I have a group of users in an Oracle Portal page. They click a button to go to MRE and run reports. I have another set of users on another Portal page who access MRE in the same way. How can I get these users to go back to the page from which they came? Thank you all for all of the information you share. As a novice, it has been very useful.

I want to thank all who replied. I have not had time to try what I have learned due to a single (production) instance of WF. The article suggested by Francis looks very useful. I will post when I have had a chance to try all of the suggestions. Thanks, Paul

This does not appear to be documented in the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual, but it is discussed in this article on Tech Support:

How to change what page MR redirects to on logoff?

Thank you Francis. I will have to wait until during the holidays to try this due to only having a production version of Web Focus. I will post how it went and any gotcha's that may happen.

can you tell me how to write the url for the redirect back to the login screen?
the examples in the doc are all back to some http://www.google.com - ish thing...
or wait..
do i know how and just haven't tried it...
ort/ibi_apps/bid_login?" TARGET=_blank>http://servernameRazzerort/ibi_apps/bid_login?
That would work, right?

why is there a green grinning smiley right in the middle of my : port?
oh..
i think i'll leave it there! ha!

Oh Susannah,

If you want to redirect BID logoffs, that's documented in the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual. This is for MRE logoff, unless, of course, you want to redirect the user from MRE logoff to BID login!

Also, I'd try not coding the server/port part of the URL, perhaps this would work:
/ibi_apps/bid_login?
