IntraWeb report requests to WebTier

edited March 2003 in Server
Hello again,

I have been running your live demo and have been paying particular attention
to the URL
(http://www.digital-metaphors.com:81/rbWebPub/Report.dll?content=viewer&volu
me=Live%20Reports&name=Porfolio%5CStock%20Chart&folder=v0d2&explorer=dynamic
&frameset=1&SessionID=38835&page=1&zoom=70)
displayed when running the "Stock Chart" report. Is it possible to have an
IntraWeb application request a report via a URL (Including Custom
Parameters)? It seems to be the logical solution for IntraWeb applications.
Or is there an easier way to have a client request a report from a webtier?

Thank you,

Tracy McClarnon

    Yes. You can submit a URL request to the webtier by typing in your web
    browser, or generating one from another application or HTML page.

    The URL parameters passed to the WebTier are accessable via the
    TrsWebRequest.ContentParameters. The WebTier will not know what to do with
    any custom parameters. You will need to copy any custom ContentParameters to
    the WebRequest.SessionParameters and/or WebRequest.ReportParameters as
    desired. The RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Custom Parameters example shows how to
    do this.
