Hi,
when drilling down from a PDF report the URL created is incorrect, that is

http:///ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_s...&IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF
&IBIAPP_app=recettes&&IBIMR_drill=X,marcoiiw/marcoiiw.htm&IBIF_ex=app/rejet_ro_vs_eo
&CLICKED_ON=&CPTEANMOD=292455-16-108%20/2007%20/05

while if the same report is format HTML the URL is good

http://webfocus/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_app...&IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF
&IBIAPP_app=recettes&&IBIMR_drill=X,marcoiiw/marcoiiw.htm&IBIF_ex=app/rejet_ro_vs_eo.fex
&CLICKED_ON=&CPTEANMOD=292455-16-108%20/2007%20/05

where 'webfocus' is the name of the server.

That happens using both Acrobat Reader 8.1 and Foxit Reader.

Is there any soultion or fix for it?
Thanks

Do a search for PDF and FOCEXURL in this forum.

SET FOCEXURL = 'http://server-name/ibi_apps/WFServlet?'

Example:

SET FOCEXURL = 'http://my-server-name/ibi_apps/WFServlet?'

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
BY COUNTRY

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF

ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COUNTRY, FOCEXEC=BID2 (COUNTRY=COUNTRY), $
END

Generates a PDF report with hyperlinks that look like this:

http://my-server-name/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=BID2&CLICKED_ON=&COUNTRY=W%20GERMANY

This hyperlink works correctly.

Please post the portion of your stylesheet that generates the hyperlink.

I don't think you require the "app/".

Is rejet_ro_vs_eo a fex in a directory in the app path? This is not in MRE?

Try running my example code on your server. If it works, try coding your link to rejet_ro_vs_eo in the way I did in the example.

No, rejet_ro_vs_eo is in the same domain MRE where
the calling fex is located.

But why if I change the format of the calling fex to HTML the drill down works? (see first posting)

I ran your exemple and i got these results:

1) if the fex is PDF as in the exemple:
a) with SET FOCEXURL it says fex not found
B) without it the URL is http:///ibi_apps/....

2) if I change to HTML
a) with SET FOCEXURL it says fex not found
b) without it it drills OK

Funny, isn't it?
