Do you happen to know whether the "web services enablement option" is required to allow WebFOCUS to both:

1. vend reports to "elsewhere" and to
2. consume data prepared "elsewhere"?

Thanks. Suzy

Suzy,

Web Service enablement is for publishing only. Consumption of WS is a separate license.

Thanks.

So each is a separate charge-for license?

This is what I did.

We used ASP.NET as front end to build
dynamic conditions of selections for
drill downs ( cycle , hierarchy etc. ).

These were passed as URL parameters to
respective report, designed to accept
and act on the parameters.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Prabhakar,<br /><br />
You don't need web services to do what you want. You can build your .asp page
as per normal
for collecting parms,
but just change the a
ction of your FORM to the
webfocus servlet.
If you are not using WebFOCUS MRE,
then then f
orm would look something like this:

 <form action="/ibi_apps/WFServlet"     method="post"><br />
input type="hidden" 
name="IBIAPP_app" <br />       value="_WF_application_dir_name">
<input type="hidden"
name="IBIF_ex" value="_report to_execute">
<input type="text"
name="_parm_name"
value="_parm_value">
<input type="submit" value="Run">
</form>

For the above, only
the action and IBIF_ex are
required parameters.
If you are using MRE, then you
will have to refer to the
documentation for the required
parameters.
Hope this helps.
