Hi,

I have normal report i.e.. it is no a MRE Fex file and is residing in a applicaion folder on the Web FOCUS server.

could any one tell me how to submit a normal fex file in defrred mode is it possible?

I know if is is MRE Fex we need to set the property IBIMR_defer to defer. But, this is not MRE Fex file.

help to submit a report in deferred mode

Hi,

I have a launch page where in I have given a radio buttons 1) Online 2) Deferred so if I select Deferred option then report should be submitted in deferred mode.

Please note as I already called it is not a MRE fex its a normal Application folder server fex file.

let me know anything

Thanks!

Without MRE, I think you will find this very difficult.

I would suggest, as a minimum, adding a MRE login to your process, even if it is just to run a report deferred.

The problem is that WFServlet doesn't (as far as I know) support passing the defer option to the reporting server without MRE.

I had this working in 7.6.11. Not sure how it works in later releases.
http(s)//servername:8121/webconsole?CGIX_cmd=PromptDflt&IBIC_user=userid&IBIC_pass=password&IBIC_svc_name=DFM_DEFAULT&IBIS_page=DFLTPROMPT&IBIF_appname=applicationpath&CGIX_deferr=y&CGIX_option=nodflt&IBIS_prcname=processname&IBIF_cmd=EX application/fexname

The processname is a js generated string and I am not sure it has any real meaning.

The issue with that call is that its to the Reporting server, and the URL may not be exposed.

On saying that, there is a way, it is WebFOCUS after all.

Being the reporting server, it may have security on it, or in some cases only port 80 is allowed to have connections from other locations.

I have worked on one site just like this. The only way to get to port 8121, or what ever the WebFOCUs servers http port is, is to log onto the machine.
