Web application based in IntraWeb + RB Server

rbuser

Hi!

Can I use the RB Server as a report plataform for a Web Application based in
IntraWeb ?

My idea is some button in some form of this web app to call a report from
the RB Server passing some parameters.

Can I do that ?

(I'm still understanding and testing the RB Server tutorials and examples)

TIA

I do not have experience with IntraWeb. I think you could either have parts
of the IntraWeb app send requests to an RB WebTier app or you could include
the TrsWebTier component in your IntraWeb app and pass the appropriate
requests to the WebTier.ProcessRequest or ProcessWebRequest method.

1 First work thru the tutorials and build standard RB Server and WebTier
apps.

2. See the custom parameters demos in RBServer\Demos\WebTier\ and
RBServer\Demos\Server

3. See article below:

Tech Tips: How can I request that the webtier
execute a specified report?
---------------------------------------------


Question:
---------

Without using the Web ReportExplorer, how can I request that the webtier
execute a specified report?


Solution:
---------

The webtier processes requests for web content. These requests consists of

1. The URL for the webtier

example: http://127.0.0.1/rbWebPub/report.dll


2. A parameter specifying the content type.

example: content=viewer

{note: content=viewer, is used to request report viewer content.}


3. Additional parameters that are specific to the content request.

volume=Report Forms (the volume name)
Name=Basic\Biolife Table (the full path name to the report)
frameset=1 (show the framset with the toolbar etc., this is required)


Use a web browser to access the webtier demo that displays the report
explorer.

Notice that when you place the mouse over a report in the report explorer
that the status bar in IE shows the url plus some params. That is the string
required to run the report on the web tier.

Example:
http://127.0.0.1/rbWebPub/report.dll?content=viewer&volume=Report
Forms&name=Basic\Biolife Table&framset=1


So the parameters here are

content=viewer (type of content is report viewer)
volume=Report Forms (the volume name)
Name=Basic\Biolife Table (the full path name to the report)
frameset=1 (show the framset with the toolbar etc., this is required)
