I'm getting an 403 Forbidden message when I have a fex on the canvas and I click the Run button to execute. If I close the fex, I can right-click on the fex name and select "Run" which runs the fex. Why is this happening?

could it be a browser issue? I know we have had all sorts of issues. We still have our default App studio browser set to EXPLORER even though our PROD is EDGE. And if I set it to: internal, I have other issues.

Hi Robert. Thanks for the response.

 

We are going to restart our QA reporting server very soon. After the reboot, I will check to see if this is the cause of the 403.

 

We don't reboot our reporting servers very often but I'll talk to my team to see if we can do it on a weekly basis.

hey can you check if the report is published.

[Rick Koch 3]

No, it was unpublished. I published it and tried to execute it again after I opened it in Text Editor. I still got the 403 Forbidden: message.

 

By the way, our QA reporting server was rebooted at the end of the day yesterday. When it came back up, I tried the action above and I still saw the 403 error.

When you say canvas is it on HTML or Designer portal ?

Can you share a screen shot ?

[Rick Koch 3]

Yeah, when I say "canvas" I mean when I open a fex in Text Editor when I'm in AppStudio.

[VisuaLizeFOCUS .]

ohh so it is not in any portal or designer.

Interesting issue

You said it is QA server right is it working on Dev environment ?

1. Please restart your WebFOCUS Client.
2. Check Client and WebFOCUS server logs.

You will an idea in the logs what is going wrong.

[Rick Koch 3]

We only have PRD and QA in terms of environments. We develop, unit-test and user-test in QA. I will check the logs at my next opportunity.

 

Thanks,

Rick

okay you can also try and refresh the windows services for WF Client and WF Server.

[Rick Koch 3]

Sure. Our users are involved in important testing in QA today so I'll refresh those services after 5pm. I'll let you know what happens.

sure thanks :)

Hi Robert. Is this one, many, or all fexs? Is it one App Studio or multiple? If you have not already, try testing this with a very simple fex to eliminate it being something in the code that is the issue
