If I just send the server the request (http://mydomain:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=d:\path\report.rdf&userid=me/ pw@servertnsname&destype=cache&desformat=PDF) in the browser, it works fine; but when I use the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built_in from a Form (menu) to do (I thought) the same thing, resulting PDF does not return to the browser. Ideally, it should spawn a new browser window containing the displayed PDF. The report properties in the calling form are FILENAME (d:\path\report.rdf), BATCH, ASYNCHRONOUS, CACHE, REP_SERV_NAME, and USER_ID=me/pw@servertnsname in Other Parameters. I know the report is executing properly because I have examined the report server queue, and the completed job is listed. How to I tell it to shoot the PDF back over the web to my browser? This process was similar in the old client/server days when the destination was PREVIEW, and RUNFORM took care of the data, but for the moment I am baffled.
