Getting Requested Resource was not found in this application /ibi_apps/ibi_html/publish/text/ error

[Bajr Prakash Singh]

Hi All,

 

We have migrated from WF 8105 to WF 9.1.2.

Previously the onmousehover function for text having path for an html, was working fine when user hover overed the text and it showed the HTML.
But the same text when user hover overs in WF 9.1.2 shows
"Requested Resource was not found in this application /ibi_apps/ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm error". 

JS function where report is being called:
"function text56_onmouseover(ctrl) {
my_window=window.open('ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm','my_window','width=400,height=200,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,left=60,top=500');"

I believe there was a setting in Admin Console->Application Settings which would have fixed the issue. But I don't remember the setting and not sure if that feature has changed in WF 9.
Does anyone know about this issue?

Thanks in Advance.

Maybe a forward slash in front of the ibi_html

my_window=window.open('/ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm','my_window','width=400,height=200,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,left=60,top=500');

Hi @David Beagan , based on your response I tried to add the forward slash in front of ibi_html, but instead of showing the html file, it took me to my login page of application and the URL was changed as below:

https://company.com/ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm

When forward slash is removed and we get the 404 error, the URL changes as below:

https://company.com/ibi_apps/ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm - this is same URL which correctly showed the requested HTML file in our 8105 version of WF.

Which file re you trying to reference here?

[Bajr Prakash Singh]

@Patrick Huebgen, I am trying to reference filename.htm file as mentioned in below line

my_window=window.open('ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm','my_window','width=400,height=200,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,left=60,top=500');

@Bajr Prakash Singh I'm not sure which file you are referring to via 'ibi_html/publish/text/filename.htm". Is filename.htm a custom file that you are creating?

There's was a change in recent version with ibi_html - the way this folder is stored/provided.

Patrick

@Patrick Huebgen, Is filename.htm a custom file that you are creating? - Yes.

There's was a change in recent version with ibi_html - the way this folder is stored/provided - okay, do you any resource that I can refer for this change?

[Patrick Huebgen]

@Bajr Prakash Singh ibi_html is now a .jar file not a folder anymore. You can extract the .war add the file and repackage it but for any custom file I would rather recommend to use a folder mapped in Tomcat. The jar file trick is not recommended and would require you to repeat this step after any update.

You can create your own folder mapping in in Tomcat and continue to use this or you can put the file into WebFOCUS repository and create a link for this file.

The URL depends on the solution you choose .  

[Patrick Huebgen]

For the .jar file customization you can check - but again not recommended

Hi @Patrick Huebgen, Thanks for you response. I was able to fix the issue without making any config change.
I just called relevant file using below URL:

my_window=window.open('/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Template&BIP_item=filename.htm','my_window','width=400,height=200,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,left=60,top=500');

[Patrick Huebgen]

@Bajr Prakash Singh That is what I'm using here as well and what is recommended to do - great to see you that you were able to fix it.
