I want to restrict the WFClient from accessing the folders in apps. It should get the procedures from only that folder.

ie., we have folders like ibisamp, test. The request comes from WFClient1 should hit only ibisamp and WFClient2 should hit only test.

How we can restrict the WFClient? Any thoughts about it, please let me know

Thanks

If you have 2 clients, you could use EDASPROF in conjuction with the _site_profile for each client.

Have 3 application directories:
default
dev
test

In EDASPROF you have:
APP PATH default.

In the default directory you have client1.fex and client2.fex.

client1.fex contains:
APP APPENDPATH dev
-RUN

client2.fex contains:
APP APPENDPATH test
-RUN

In your WFClient1 set _site_profile to:
-INCLUDE CLIENT1\n

In your WFClient2 set -site_profile to:
-INCLUDE CLIENT2\n

As I only have one WF client here, I haven't been able to test this, but I do use EDASPROF and _site_profile, so I know those work.

Hi Alan,
Tried it but it didn't work as I wanted.

Steps I did,

1. Add the APP PATH in WFClient cgivar.wfs file.
2. Commented the APP PATH in edasprof.prf file.
3. Restarted the server.

What happens in webfocus, by default it's taking the file from the directory where it finds first and then it applies the APP PATH command whatever we are mentioning in cgivar.wfs file.

Am I missing something here, Please let me know.

Thanks

Kamesh,

I believe what he is saying is something like this.

create 2 focexec and put them in baseapp
1. wfclient1.fex - in there set app path to what you want.
2. wfclient2.fex - in there set app path to what you want.

modify site.wfs not cgivars.wfs on each of the wfcleints.

in site.fex on wfclient1 add
_site_profile = -INCLUDE wfcleint1.fex

in site.fex on wfclient2 add
_site_profile = -INCLUDE wfcleint2.fex

Hope this helps




Scott

Make sure that you use the:
ibi\WebFOCUSnn\clientnn\wfc\etc\cgivars.wfs

If you follow what I did and use an -INCLUDE rather than trying to add the code directly, it will work. I have never had a success in putting code directly into the _site_profile.

So you need a PATH in EDASPROF to pick up the files you will -INCLUDE. The -INCLUDE fex will then set the path you want, don't forget the -RUN after the APP command.

Kamesh,
Thinking about it, did you have

APP PATH mypath\n-RUN

in _site_profile.

The reason I have problems is that I need to do a lot more in _site_profile than just set a path. The -RUN is essential.

Your right of course, site.wfs is the place to set _site_profile, I was following Kamesh when he mentioned cgivars, which is, of course, where the admin console changes it.

When I say I have problems, it is that my profile is, oh, somewhere in the region of 200 lines, and it became more than messy.

I find the -INCLUDE more than satisfactory. Additionally, I do find if I change site.wfs, I sometimes have to reboot to get the changes to be applied, whereas I can change the -INCLUDEd file on the fly with no issues.
