Managed Reporting

The following items are upgrade considerations and product changes for Managed Reporting:

As of WebFOCUS Release 8.0 Version 07, if Auto Prompting is enabled when the Prompt for Parameters property is unchecked, you will still be prompted if there are any parameters that do not have a value supplied. This applies to running procedures (FEX) stored in the WebFOCUS Repository Content folder path.
In Release 8.0 Version 10, the WebFOCUS Client AutoPrompting IBIMR_promptingUnset setting is available to enable or disable parameter prompting for Managed Reporting procedures (FEXes) when IBIMR_prompting is set to XMLPROMPT or XMLRUN, and the Prompt for Parameters setting is unchecked in the FEX Properties dialog box.
As of WebFOCUS Release 8.0 Version 02, the Managed Reporting Deferred Ticket Cleanup Utility is supported. Due to WebFOCUS 8 architecture changes, this utility only processes the repository defined in the WebFOCUS Client configuration for which it is being run.
As of WebFOCUS 8, the WebFOCUS Client processing of Managed Reporting requests applies stricter rules to referenced files. When a referenced file is not located in the WebFOCUS Repository IBFS path, a Resource not found error is displayed. Therefore, all referenced files located on the Reporting Server must have:
- -MRNOEDIT at the beginning of the line.
  or
- Replace the name with the fully qualified IBFS path to the file located on the Reporting Server.
This includes evaluating StyleSheet file (STY) references and procedure (FOCEXEC=filename) references. For example, a Resource not found error will be displayed if the StyleSheet file STHS001, referenced in the following command in a Managed Reporting procedure, is located on the Reporting Server:
```
ON TABLE SET STYLE STHS0001
```
The correct coding of this reference for the STHS001.sty file, located on the EDASERVE Reporting Server, is either:
```
-MRNOEDIT ON TABLE SET STYLE STHS001
```
or
```
ON TABLE SET STYLE IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/STHS001.STY
```
