Hello expert,
We are currently in a pinch with our BI solution : old favorites aren't working anymore after a project went live. This project involved creating new roles and some mess was made to merge two roles. I will spare you the details as they are probably irrelevant but we now have an issue with portal favorites created before this merging : they don't work anymore. If we inspect them closely, we can see that the favorite PCD is :
portal_content/--
our-url
---/PJ.FD_SAP_BIW_XXX_Integration/fd_sap_biw_xxx_role_folder/fd_sap_biw_xxx_role_group/fd_sap_biw_orion_group/fd_sap_biw_xxx_end_user/ro_sap_biw_group_crmbi_0/ro_sap_biw_xxx_publish_orion/alu.mssbw.global.OR_PORTAL_CORPORATE_REPORTS/00000005/00000230
And the real PCD is :
portal_content/--
our-url
---/PJ.FD_SAP_BIW_XXX_Integration/fd_sap_biw_xxx_role_folder/fd_sap_biw_xxx_role_group/fd_sap_biw_orion_group/fd_sap_biw_xxx_end_user/ro_sap_biw_group_crmbi_0/ro_sap_biw_xxx_publish_orion/fd_ms/alu.mssbw.global.OR_PORTAL_CORPORATE_REPORTS/00000005/00000230
The small difference is the new folder "fd_ms" which was added to allow the merging...
So here is the short version : as we can't rollback those changes, we either have to recreate the favorites (new one works fine) or modify manually the URL of those favorites...
-> How to modify what favorites point to manually ? Is there a (dirty) way to do it ? I don't know how favorites work, are they stored somewhere on the fileserver ? Or in a table ?
Thanks for any help you may provide !
