WF will look through the APP PATH to find the FOCEXEC. If the FOCEXEC is not in any of the directories in the APP PATH you will get the not found error message. The IBIAPP_app controls the which specific APP PATH directory should be searched for the FOCEXEC but if the directory is not in the APP PATH, this will not help.
Thanks!

what is the MRE's relation to App path?
I'm so confused. I thought app path was edaserve only.

this is exciting.... I think it's all finally worked out somehow.
the ibimr_drill = RUNNID was all that I really needed. Hopefully this example will help someone else, because this same issue has been on my notepad for the better part of a year. (we aren't production yet)

Jason there is NO relationship between MRE and APP PATH unless you map it.
APP PATH is EDASERVE and WebFocus Client (edasprof.prf). MRE does not use the same structure except that it will find things in the APP PATH. However WebFocus server cannot find things in MRE unless you explicitly tell it where to go.
If you are running an MRE report as an adhoc/selfservice request from an html page copy it to a directory in your app path and there will be no problem.
Admin but easier and cheaper.

In another twist, if the client server and the reporting server are on the same machine, you could map the MRE domain folder as an App folder.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Francis Mariani,

To expand a little on the post from JG,
MRE progs (for 71, others similar) are held in the [install drive]:/ibi/apps/webfocus71/basedir/folder/app on the Client Server (the one normally running something like IIS and an application server such as tomcat),
The APP Path processing however, "normally" will expect the prog to be held within [install drive]:/ibi/apps/folder on the reporting server.
Consequently, the settings required will be different depending upon whether you want MRE or Self Service.
For Self Serve you "normally" only require IBIF_ex and IBIAPP_app but, as you have found, for MRE you require so much more -
IBIMR_domain is the domain folder name within Basdir - right click in DS to identify
IBIMR_action=MR_RUN_FEX this is standard, there are other settings - check documentation for details
IBIMR_sub_action=MR_STD_REPORT this is also standard etc. etc.
IBIMR_fex the location and name of the report within Basedir. noramlly app/fexname.fex
but could also be mrv/fexname.
IBIF_ex [b]this is not required for MRE[/b]
IBIMR_folder this is the equivalent virtual folder within Standard Reports.
Right click in DS to identify.
IBIMR_random random number to force rerun and not delivery from cache
IBIMR_user not strictly necessary
Hope this helps.
Incidently, to reconfigure a launch page in MRE after developing it within Apps folders you need to replace the IBIF_ex and IBIAPP_app with the above.
