This section outlines several best practices for embedding BI.
Flow Control Options
Front Channel. Used with iframe and/or AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) approaches where the browser connects to WebFOCUS on the
same or a different origin host.
Proxy Method. A browser communicates with a proxy that acts as an intermediary to WebFOCUS.
User Context Options
Service Account. Typically used with a proxy but does not require it. This would require a user ID and password for the service account.
If user-specific content will be returned, then a user ID parameter must be injected by the proxy code so WebFOCUS can use
it to filter the data (since in this case WebFOCUS runs all requests as the service account user).
Trusted Ticket. Required for iframe Portal, hyperlink InfoAssist, hyperlink Insight, and PGX page embedding. It is recommended when embedding
charts that have interactive features, such as autolink drill-downs. It can be used with proxy or front channel configurations.
