Thanks for your response Scott. Yes that kind of config works fine to me too
but how to make it work if you want the report name to be dynamic??

What i tried was removing the report=report.rdf portion from the key and
then dynamically create the URL that should be passed to the reports server.
Just like this:

http://myserver:port/reports/rwservlet?key&report=report.rdf (This worked
fine in previous versions, but not in 10G, i'm getting a "didn't specified
report name" message)

In your rep_<server_name>.conf there is a line something like this.  I have
the path of my reports in this string...

      <property name="sourceDir"
value="/u01/app/wbits/source/v001/reports"/>

Here is a sample CGIcmd.dat file that works as well...

REPORT_NAME:report=REPORT_NAME.rdf server=rep_<server_name>
userid=webuser/password@conn_string destype=cache desformat=PDF tolerance=0
%*

You should also look in your rwservlet.properties and make sure the
following is uncommented...
KEYMAPFILE=CGIcmd.dat
