The following are upgrade considerations for WebFOCUS:

• As of Release 8.1 Version 05, the syntax for URLs to run procedures and return Repository content has changed.

  The syntax is:

  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/path_to_item/item_name.ext?parm1=parm1_value&parm2=parm2_value…

  where:

  path_to_item

  Is the path to the item. For example, WFC/Repository/Public.

  item_name.ext

  Is the item name, including the extension. For example, rpt_2parms.fex.

  parm1=parm1_value, parm2=parm2_value…

  Are the optional parameter names and values, if the procedure accepts parameters.

  The following is an example of a report procedure (rpt_2parms.fex), which includes multiple parameters:

  TABLE FILE WF_RETAIL
  SUM REVENUE_US 
  IF PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ '&PRODUCT_CATEGORY'
  WHERE BUSINESS_REGION EQ '&BUSINESS_REGION' 
  END

  The following is an example of a URL to run the rpt_2parms.fex procedure:

  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/Public/rpt_2parms.fex?
  PRODUCT_CATEGORY=Accessories&BUSINESS_REGION=North America

  The following are additional examples of URLs to access content from the Repository:

  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/Public/rpt_2parms.fex
  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/Public/image.png
  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/Public/cascadestyle.css
  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/Public/javascript.js
  /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/Public/htmlpage.html
