[SOLVED]Deferred report submission through URL

July 22, 2016, 08:27 AM

I am submitting a report through URL in deferred mode, which was getting sumitted and ran perfectly.
URL:https://abc.com/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/aaa/ddd/ccc&BIP_item=def_test.fex&IBIMR_defer=defer

But, when I try to pass variables it was not submitting in deferred mode instead it is running on browser (normal mode) and giving the output on the browser.
URL:https://abc.com/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/aaa/ddd/ccc&BIP_item=def_test.fex&IBIMR_defer=defer&name=kumar

I am using 8.0.9 version and the variable "&IBIMR_defer=defer" need to be replaced with version 8 variable or any other additions to the URL?

Should not make any differences but... we never know

Try:

URL:https://abc.com/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/aaa/ddd/ccc&BIP_item=def_test.fex&name=kumar&IBIMR_defer=defer

where defer is the last parm

No luck tried putting the defer as last param. Any more suggestions.

Squatch

Try capital "D":

&IBIMR_defer=Defer

This works:

http://my.dev.server/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Test/FrancisMariani&BIP_item=def_test.fex&IBIMR_defer=defer&APPLE=ORANGE&DUMMY=YES

So does this:

http://my.dev.server/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Test/FrancisMariani&BIP_item=def_test.fex&APPLE=ORANGEs&DUMMY=YESsss&IBIMR_defer=defer

Tried changing it to capital D. But no luck.

@Fracis: Not able to figure out the change I need to make in the URL. Both the URL's are not getting submitted in deferred mode.

You could try

http://[your server here][:port number if required]/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIWF_defer=defer&IBIWF_defer_action=runItemDeferred&IBFS_path=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/etc./etc./yourfexname.fex&variable1=value&variable2=somevalue

Thanks Tony. The URL worked by removing the defer_action variable. But wondering how the "WFServlet?" instead of "views.bip?" works in 8.XXX version?
