| Link to HTML Launchpage? | Login/Join |
| Gold member |
We currently have a HTML launch page that is sitting in a domain in our Managed Reporting area on our testserver. Within this html page we are having the users select different variables then click a submit button and the variables that were selected are then passed on to a fex. My question is this, once we are done testing the launchpage to make sure all of the fex's are working and being called correctly what do we do with the launch page? Do we move the launch page up to the applications directory under data servers/edaserve or do we create another folder underneath managed reporting and give the users a direct link to the launch page that resides there? If we create a new application under the data servers, it automatically creates some new folders such as HTML Files, Maintain Files, Master Files, Other, Procedures. We basically have the launch page working correctly under managed reporting but we are not sure what to do with it to put it into production. Thanks for the help. Jeff WF 7.1.7- Windows XP | ||

Jeff, It depends upon your user interface. If you intend to use the dashboard then you just need it in a domain/standard reports/group folder as required. If you are going self service then that is a whole different ball game and depends alot upon how your interface works (ASP, etc.) T

We are going to go self service. Dashboard is not what we were looking for. Any tech documents out that you can think of that would be helpful in our situation? im trying to do a search through the tech documents but im not sure if im searching on the right words. WF 7.1.7- Windows XP | |||

Erney by self serve, you do in fact mean that you are going to build your site under the inetpub/wwwroot directory on your server, yes? Your signature says windows xp... which isn't a full-fledged win2k3 server. You do intend to publish a full win2k3 or better server site, yes?? Get back to me on this bit, first, will you? -s.

No, we are not going to publish this stuff in the inetpub/wwwroot directory of a web server. All we want to do is take this HTML file that has a few drop downs for report selecting and a calendar in it and stick it somewhere on the web focus server along with the fexes so our users can navigate through a URL link from a web page to this report select HTML page and execute some reports off this HTML page. Everything works fine in our managed reporting area, but where do we move all these things for production? Do we move it to the data server/edaserve section? Do we move it to the /ibi_html/Approot folder? We do not want to use dashboard at all, if that helps. Thanks a bunch for the help, its greatly appreciated. WF 7.1.7- Windows XP | |||

Jeff, Are you using the MRE security? If not then I would suggest developing in the applications folders as a default and not bothering with MRE at all. There is a post (I think Jason asked the original question) that covers how to call a WF launch page from an intranet web page. If I can locate it then I will post the link or else you could do a search yourself. T

We are going to be passing a mainframe user/pass through the ibic_user and Ibic_pass from within the HTLM page since MRE is not setup to check the user/pass untill the report is actually run. So we are going to bypass mre. This is all setup on our webpage for the user to input user/pass, select the report to run and select a date then a button click event to send all data to the WF servlet to generate a report. ok, so the applications folder is where we need to stick this stuff... Thanks a bunch Tony. WF 7.1.7- Windows XP | |||
