Call iView from VC Pushbutton

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

How can I jump to a pre-defined iView (in my case, a BEx Web Template iView) from a VC model?

I wish to provide our users with a more visual experience of navigating to different areas within our Portal and have created a very simple "cockpit" which uses pushbuttons in a form. I've copied the required URL to the pushbutton parameters (system action > hyperlink) but get a Portal Runtime Error when I click on the button after deploying the model.

I have checked the logs but I'm afraid I don't understand what they are telling me.

Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation,

Richard.

Hi,

working fine here, you just have to put the complete iview URL, and to have the autorisations on it.

In the hyperlink you also have to put your URL between " and " :

such as :

"http://yoursite.com:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/...."

Hi Fabien,

I have included the URL within quotation marks.

However, I do believe the error is authorisation related as you mention. Is there a basic minimum level of permissions I should be setting? For example, I have set the everyone role to Read (under the Administrator dropdown) and 'End User' is ticked.

Also, do I need to replace instances of "/" with "!2f" in the URL address to the iView?

e.g.

portal_content!2fcom.bae.dev.Sandbox!2fcookr!2fcom.bae.Landsystems.BAE_LS etc.

vs

portal_content/com.bae.dev.Sandbox/cookr/com.bae.Landsystems.BAE_LS etc.

Thanks,

Richard.

No replace needed.

Have you tried with a sample iview, e.g. a new URL iview, just to make a simple example working with these new elements ?

I think I may be setting the incorrect URL.

What is the best way to get the full URL of my iView, from the beginning of the full adrress ie. HTTP://.. ?

Working here with "http://yoursite.com:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/...."

have you tried with a simple sample iview ?

Hi Fabien,

I tried with a simpler iView. This helped me work out my issue. The URL I was using was correct. I had set permissions incorrectly however. A silly error! Thanks for the assistance.
