[SOLVED] is there a file with group name -> bid view name ?
among all the 8 files in the mre repository (wf_mrdomains, wf_mrgroups, etc),
i can't see how to find the viewname (that _agv thing) that a group can see.
Is there a file that links the two?
or even a .htm file i can parse?

If I understand what you are asking...

The link between BI Dashboard and MRE is on the dashboard side.

Under worp/conf is the file mpv.xml, this defines the dashboard.

This file links to the ??_gbv directories in worp/worp_custom and worp/worp_users.

What do you want to accomplish ?

g'mornin waz...
i want to read the mr_users and extract the groups that a user belongs to.
then take that list of groups and extract the list of Views (... aa_gbv etc) that person sees..
and put a list of links on the default public view page.. We want to get rid of that Views dropdown from the opening view...
I've got it working nicely with a hard coded list of links... now i need to custom tailor it.

I can do it with a hard coded file : groupname - view ; but i want to avoid having to hard code a file.
so, when i get in to the office in the am, i'll look at the mpv.xml
