We have a report under EDASERVE that has a drill down and we want to move the drill down report to Content section of BI Portal, to leverage the BI Portal security (only BI Portal users should see the drill down). Is this possible?
My current call looks like this:
FOCEXEC=folder1/tracking_report_drill( \
Policy_State=Policy_State \
)

Thanks!

There are several ways of taking care of this, here's one: using with JAVASCRIPT function,
 
-* File: IBFS:/localhost/EDA/EDASERVE/APPPATH/demo/Procedure1.fex Created by WebFOCUS AppStudio
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
     SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE AS SOURCE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     UNITS=IN,
     SQUEEZE=ON,
     ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     GRID=OFF,
     FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',
     SIZE=10,
$
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N1,
     JAVASCRIPT=contentRun('IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Public&|BIP_item=Chart1.fex' 'COUNTRY' N1 'MODEL' MODEL 'SALES' SALES),
$

ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function contentRun()
{
urlSelf = '/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&|BIP_folder=' + arguments[0]+'&|IBI_random='+Math.random();

for (var i=1; i < arguments.length; i=i+2)
  {
  urlSelf += '&' + arguments[i] + '=' + arguments[i+1];
  }
window.location = urlSelf;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
!IBI.FIL.SOURCE;
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

Chaudhary,
Thank you!
Now I get an Access to Item Denied error. I'm not sure why that would be since I created and published the fex I'm trying to run unless it has to do with security surrounding running javascripts.

Thanks!

"If the mountain won't come . . ."

How about moving the (outer) fex to the repository, and arranging to execute it via call to Client?

I've just been told to not use JavaScript if possible.
Chaudhary, you said there were other ways?

Thanks!

contentRun('IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Public&|BIP_item=Chart1.fex' 'Policy_State' Policy_State),

Please make sure that you are passing correct fex file path in above function and you have the run access of that file.

Chaudhary,
That was it -- I forgot to add the folder name in the Repository path.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

This worked for me in WebFOCUS 8.2:
 
 TABLE FILE ibisamp/ggsales
 SUM UNITS
 BY  REGION
 ON TABLE SET STYLE *
 TYPE=DATA, URL=/ibi_apps/WFServlet?( \
                IBIF_webapp='/ibi_apps' \
                IBIC_server='EDASERVE'  \
                IBIMR_drill='IBFS,RUNFEX,IBIF_ex,true' \
                IBIF_ex='IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Public/Chart1.fex' \
                REGION=REGION \
                ),$
 ENDSTYLE
 END
