[SOLVED] Webfocus report not running from Sharepoint on Webfocus 7.71

I have a Webfocus report that runs from a Sharepoint portal using Webfocus 7.1.3

We are upgrading to Webfocus to 7.7 and when testing from sharepoint the report fails.
I noticed that on our current Webfocus version(which works fine) the encoded post reponse is showing the full link:

function getrep() {
if(parseInt(window.navigator.appVersion,10)<4)
location.assign("http://Server.domain.com/ibi_apps/WFServletPG_REQTYPE=REDIRECT&PG_MRsaved=false&PG_Func=GETBINARY&PG_File=pinqmcqc.htm");


But when I change the server to point to the new server where we have Webfocus 7.7 , the encoded web response is missing the server and domain information as follows:

"/ibi_apps/WFServlet?PG_REQTYPE=REDIRECT&PG_MRsaved=false&PG_Func=GETBINARY&PG_File=ohylumta.xmh");

I can run the report from Developer studio on the new location but I cannot get it to run from the Web application.

Please let me find a fix to this problem.

Thanks,

This might have something to do with the SharePoint server: "when I change the server to point to the new server" - do you mean changing settings on the SharePoint server?

Hello Francis,
I solved the problem this morning.

I was comparing the html result coming from Webfocus environment 713 to the result when running the same report but in the Webfocus 7701 environment.
The current version was returning an absolute path
http://Server.domain.com/ibi_a...PG_File=pinqmcqc.htm

The new version was failing to run from the web application because it was trying to find the report using a relative path:
"/ibi_apps/WFServlet?PG_REQTYPE=REDIRECT&PG_MRsaved=false&PG_Func=GETBINARY&PG_File=ohylumta.xmh");

I had to add the server and domain information to the path as well as get rid of some characters at the end of the path.

Thanks for your help.
