The REPLAY program replays
an existing catalog entry to the Web browser. This program is used
with Application Dispatcher programs that invoke the Output Delivery
System (ODS) and with other programs that create output and retrieve
it for later display.
For details about ODS, see The Output Delivery System (ODS).A sample invocation
of REPLAY looks like the following URL:
http://yourserver/scripts/broker.exe?_service=default
&_program=replay&_entry=SAMPDAT.WEBSAMP.RETAIL.HTML
The user must specify
_SERVICE, _PROGRAM=REPLAY, and _ENTRY=lib.cat.entry.type.
If you are using the
_REPLAY program with Microsoft Office, then you need to build a URL
that uses the _OUTPUTAPP= parameter. Supported values for the _OUTPUTAPP=
parameter include EXCEL, WORD, and POWERPOINT. For example, if you
specify
_OUTPUTAPP=EXCEL in the URL, then
the content type for the replayed output is
application/vnd.ms-excel.
If you need to specify
the name of the file that the _REPLAY program returns, use the _CONTDISP
parameter in the URL. The value of this parameter is returned as a
content-disposition header.
