In vb.net calling a frx by doing response.redirect("http://webserver/reportname bla bla")

The output is excel and it’s running great. The report opens but a blank browser page opens right before excel opens. How can I keep a blank page from opening?

Hi rc,

The following Symptom-Problem-Solution info from Information Builders' online documents may be of interest:

quote:
When viewing reports in Dashboard with EXCEL output, a new window is open that displays the report but the original window remains with a blank page.

The default behavior of .xls and .xht file types in the Dashboard environment is to open a new window to display the report. This behavior is set in the mime.wfs configuration file.

To change default behavior do the following:
1) Make backup copy of mime.wfs config file.
2) Edit the mime.wfs file in a text editor and change the REDIRECT option for .xls and .xht type files from 'YES' to 'NO'.

The details of this are documented in the Security and Administration Manual for WebFOCUS 711 (DN4500704.0905) on page 4-35.


Special Note: This info is for WebFOCUS 7.1.1, and later releases have had changes to mime.wfs and in later 76x releases. You would need to stop and restart the web and application server after making such a manual change. This change can also be made from the Admin Console and only memory cache needs to be cleared. Making this change also has caveats with a large data return…it may not work or it may take a long time to load.

Hope this helps. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry
