Adventures With -Websverver

Hey guys,

I'm trying to master a web server ... I want to try something simple so I have some questions:

1) it says that I have to have a web client running somewhere for the web page to function.  If my server uses -keep as a lever, is that enough or do I need a client running somewhere?

2) I want to build a web page with a command button just return a report in a browser.  All the examples in the User Guide for 'scommand report' show emailing a report.  Can I use that command to just throw up a new tab with a formatted report?

Thanks,
Blair

-Keep will work after a client has loaded the file yes

That command can not be used for that. The SCommands are commands parsed from an email that is read in via the Sesame Server and then it replies with an answer.

For what you are wanting to do I would recommend a regular WebServer and the Sesame API to grab data and generate a report. It'll be neater, cleaner and I won't swear to it but I believe -Web_Server has been deprecated since the API came out.

Hey Ray,

I read through the API documentation to see how I could try to execute a report, and it says in several places like SesameRunProgram, 'No commands that reference the user interface, forms, or reports are legal in the supplied program.'

Here's my issue.  I have a series of fairly complicated reports in my database, that I would like to output to users without them having access to a Sesame client.  I'd rather not have to learn enough PHP to build the report over again if I can avoid it.

Is there any way I can generate an existing Sesame report with the API?

No. Sesame Reports need to be run from a Sesame Client. You would have to replicate the report in PHP.
