5.1.6.7.5 Usage Notes

o While existing MICF Production Reporting streams do not
  need a special conversion process to use MWP, a feature is
  available to set default MWP options.

  This feature allows you to specify the MWP options in
  one stream, and have these options become the default
  when you edit other streams.

  This procedure will only work if both of these are true:

  - The report streams were created prior to PSP maintenance
    BAS7180.

  - The report stream had previously specified execution
    options.


  ___ 1. Select a reporting stream and set the default MWP
         options.

         End out of the stream, making sure to save the
         stream definition.

  ___ 2. Select another stream, and go to the Execution
         Options and view MICF Web Publishing options.  You
         can modify these options as necessary.

  ___ 3. Repeat step 2 for other MICF Production Reporting
         streams.


  Note that the MWP option defaults will reset upon exit.

o When using the IBM HTTP Server, a virtual directory can be
  created to point the MWP Root Directory by adding a Pass
  directive in the configuration file.

  For example, by adding the following line to the
  configuration file for the IBM HTTP Server:

  Pass   /MICS_MWP/*   /u/users/MICS/MWP_Root/*

  users can access the directory /u/users/MICS/MWP_Root by
  the virtual name, MICS_MWP.

  This accomplishes two goals.  First, the MWP Root Directory
  does not have to physically exist in the home directory of
  the HTTP server.  Second, the user will only need to remember
  the URL of the virtual directory, allowing the
  name to be changed without their knowledge.

  Virtual directories are supported by most web servers,
  including the IBM HTTP Server.

o The page MWP_root/view.html is considered to be the
  home page for all reporting streams in the MWP Root
  Directory.

o MICF Web Publishing allows the use of multiple MWP Root
  Directories. However, there is currently no index of root
  directories.

o The directory MWP_root/stream_name/MWP_current/ always
  points to the most recent execution of a given reporting
  stream.

o The page MWP_root/stream_name/DyymmmddThhmm/view.html
  contains the html to view the output for a reporting stream
  for a specific execution.

  Note:  The page name defaults to "view" but can be
  changed from the Execution Options panel of the Production
  Reporting Jobstream.

o If a reporting stream has MICF inquiries that generate
  graphics using SAS/Graph, the Display Color Graphics
  options on the Execution Options panel must be set to Y.
  Otherwise, the graphs will not be shown.

o If you are providing a custom background image, it can be
  placed in the images/directory.
