Hello,
i try this url:
http:/server_name:7777/reports/rwservlet?url_config&my_parameter

with this key in my cgicmd.dat :

url_config: server=ed_url2 report=%1 userid=user/passxd@base destype=file desformat=pdf

and i have this error:

Unable to open file 'my_parameter='.

The rwservlet converts the value of my parameter to 'my_parameter='.
It adds a '=' systematically at the end of my parameter.

Please need help

Here's how I do that (an Application Express example, but never mind).

CGICMD.DAT entry looks like this:

odr_objekt_po_nedost: server=rep_ias report=odr_objekt_po_nedost.rdf  userid=my_user/my_passwd@ora10 destype=cache desformat=PDF %1

As you can see, I put my parameters to the end.

URL is created as follows:

  :P36_URL := 
     pkg.f_report_server ||
    'odr_objekt_po_nedost'       ||
    '&par_obj='                  || :P36_OBJ;

- pkg.f_report_server is a function that returns server name (http://rep-ias/reportss/rwservlet?)
- odr_objekt_po_nedost is a CGICMD.DAT entry name
- par_obj is a report parameter. I put value of the P36_OBJ page item into it.

Finally, it evaluates to

http://rep-ias/reports/rwservlet?odr_objekt_po_nedost&par_obj=TS

You used %1 parameter as a report name; I don't know whether you can do that or not. What happens if you hard code its name?

Thank you for your reply,
however, the problem arises for any type of parameters (report_name, file_name etc ...).
each time it inserts a '=' at the end of the value of my parameter.
My application runs over a hundred report.
I would use a url syntax applicable to all these editions. This is the reason why I want to avoid hard-coding the name of my reports.
Hence my desire to go through the file cgicmd.dat.

PS: sorry for my english, but i speak french and i use google translator
