I have been writing procedures and reports in Developer's studio for a few months now. I am able to use Managed Reporting to allow users to look at these reports, but we now have a .Net application that I want to use WebFocus reports with. I have written the report in my application area, my developer says if I can give him a URL, he can do a GET to pass the parameters. When I run the .fex the only uRL I see is http://SERVER/ibi_apps/WFServlet. Is there something special I need to do to Publish these .fex's for his application?

This URL should execute a fex in the Data Server/Applications area.

http://servername/cgi-bin/ibi_cgi/webapi.dll?IBIC_serve...name&IBIF_ex=fexname

I seem to be getting somewhere and have made some real headway thanks to all of your for you help.

I've finally figured out that I can put in
http://server/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=nameoffex&IBIC...r&IBIC_pass=password

This brings up my page where I am prompted for my two date parameters. Is there someway that I can enter that in the original URL?

Ginny,

Just add them as further parameters in the URL -

http://server/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=nameoffex&IBIC...11&Date_2=2005/07/25 ....... etc.

WebFOCUS WebServices in 7.1 allows for .NET intergration via WebServices and .NET controls. This is a Add-on to WebFOCUS and will make .NET intergration much much easier.

Hi Ginny,

For more information, see the WebFOCUS Web Services Version 7.1 manual (DN4500715.0505).

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Hi
I am in the process of coding a .NET C# application. It is a Windows application.
Can I invoke a WebFocus report from it.
When it encounters the code that tries to logon to WebFocus I am getting this error message

"Client found response content type of 'text/html; "
The code is as follows

WebReference.WebFocus wfs = new WebReference.WebFocus();
WebReference.LogOnInfo logon = new WebReference.LogOnInfo();
WebReference.WebFocusReturn ret = new WindowsApplication2.WebReference.WebFocusReturn();
WebReference.FexInfo report = new WindowsApplication2.WebReference.FexInfo();
WebReference.ValuesArrayEntry parm1 = new WindowsApplication2.WebReference.ValuesArrayEntry();

string newOutput = "";
string tempFile = "";

string[] parms = new string[2];

parm1.name = "CASETYPE";
parm1.val = "EXTERNAL";

try
{
report.server = "EDASERVE";
report.app = "ic001w03_cases15daysold";
report.name = "ic001w03_cases15daysold";


logon = wfs.WebFocusLogOn("a76243","ramesh21","","");
ret = wfs.WebFocusRunFex(logon, report);

newOutput = ret.output;

if (ret.mime == "application/vnd.ms-excel" )
tempFile = "c:\\temp\\cases_out.xls";
else
tempFile = "c:\\temp\\cases_out.pdf";


wfs.WebFocusRunFex(logon,report);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(ex.ToString());
throw ex;
}

Any help will be appreciated
