Hi,
How can i interact with WebFOCUS using Asp.Net. I have to meke reports using these technologies.

Thanks
Prabhakar.

Prabhakar,

What do you mean by interact? Develop or deploy or both.

The easiest answer for deployment is to use WebFOCUS web services enablement option to call webfocus reports from within your .Net application.

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?

Suzy

yep

Prabhakar,

What exactly do you mean by "develop reports using .Net". Please give me scenerio or example!

Prabhakar

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.

Hi Dhagn,
I have to make a aunch page using asp.net and pass the parameters through page to webFocus so as to make reports.

Thanks..

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.
