The following steps configure FOCUS to generate HTML5 charts.

• Set FOCEXURL. Generating HTML5 charts requires java services. You must have an installed version of the WebFOCUS Client so that ibi_apps is deployed. The application server must be running when you issue the HOLD FORMAT JSCHART command in your graph request. The WebFOCUS Client does not have to be running.

  You must point to the URL where ibi_apps is deployed by issuing the SET FOCEXURL command in a profile, at the command line, in a FOCEXEC, or in a request:

  SET FOCEXURL=http://servername:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet

  where:

  servername

  Is the name of the machine where the application server is running.

  8080

  Is the default port used by the WebFOCUS Client to communicate with the application server.

  Once your HTML5 chart output is generated, you can transfer it to your PC in ASCII format with the extension .htm or .html and open it in a browser. Map charts are an exception. They must be transferred to a context on the application server and opened through the application server. For more information, see Lightweight Map Support.

• Set FORMATGRAPH. You must issue the following request in a profile, at the command line, or in the FOCEXEC that generates the HTML5 output.

  SET FORMATGRAPH=HTML                                         

• Allocate your StyleSheet PDS. If you want to use one of the distributed FOCUS StyleSheets to format your chart output, you must allocate DDNAME FOCSTYLE to the PDS that contains the StyleSheet files. (Note that many of the examples in this manual use a StyleSheet named ENDEFLT.) For example.

  DYNAM ALLOC DD FOCSTYLE DA hlq.FOCSTYLE.DATA SHR REU

  where:

  hlq

  Is the high-level qualifier for your FOCUS production libraries.

• Allocate your HTML5 chart output. Allocate your chart output to a sequential file. For example

  DYNAM ALLOC DD HOLD DA filename SHR REU

  where:

  filename

  Is the fully qualified name the file containing the HTML5 chart output.
