Patrick, the video in your post is actually Setting default values for Filters in Designer 9.3. 

I see that the new video calling a WebFOCUS report from repository via direct url is out on your youtube channel.

Thanks

Hi Patrick,  

Wouldn't the recommended/supported way to call a focexec, from an external app, be to use WebFOCUS RESTful web services? 

For example:

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/WFC/Repository/RESTful_Web_Services/Car_Reports/Sales_for_a_Specific_Country.fex?IBIRS_action=run&COUNTRY=JAPAN  

The WF RESTful calls, like 'IBIRS_action=run', are fully documented for developer use. 

Is the 'run.bip' you show in the video documented for developer use? 

If it is not, I might be concerned that the call/structure could be changed at some point by IB.  (Maybe unlikely, but you never know. Murphy was an optimist. 🙂)
