Change URL of Portal favorites

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is there any way to change the URL of user favorites stored in KM?

I have a few BI users who have saved many BEX Portal favorites using Web Analyzer. Unfortunately due to a change in the portal role assignment he can no longer access his favorites and it shows page cannot be found. The reason being we were earlier rolling our Portal roles and Reports using Portal Groups. Users would be assigned to Portal groups which in turn would be linked to the individual Portal Roles. Recently we started assigning Portal Roles directly to user ids.

Surprisingly and I dont know why the favorites link create by the users include the portal group id as well in the url. We have to manually modify those favorites link so that the portal groups can be removed.

When I navigate to root->user home-> <user> -> favorites I have view all the favorites created by the user, I can modify and see properties but there is no way I can change the "Content Link" URL path under the "Access Links" tab. There is also a Miscellaneous tab which has a bookmark_id = D7NQ1PKD34N4RMYJ8MYUJCSTY and template_name = ZANALYSIS_PATTERN.

I tried searching the bookmark_id on the ABAP stack in table SMEN_BUFFC but no luck.

Thanks

Hi ,

You can add permission to those links for the users who are not able to access.

Hi Kundu,

I dont understand what you mean by "adding permissions" please elaborate. Are you talking about adding "Full Control" to the Favorite links? Please note the user is able to see their favorites in the KM Portal Favorite iView but they cannot get to the page using the link stored in those favorites since the link has the name of portal group embedded in it becuase they were assigned to those portal groups before. Now they are just assigned to the portal roles directly.

Hello,

Can you try changing the link with PCD inspector( Please try first in non-live systems) I have done many changes on objects using PCD inspector for urls and it worked.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I tried PCD inspector but I couldn't find the possibility to change the favorites since they are stored in the KM content. Can you advise how to do that?

Thanks and regards,

Volker
