External Link - relative url

Former Member

We recently upgraded from CM Patch 4 to Patch 28. We have some KM External Link the point to iViews and we used the syntax /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/etc ....

This worked fine in Patch 4, but now is expecting the http://server/ name to be included? Has anybody else encountered this?

Does anybody know of an alias I can use, e.g. - http://servername/irj/etc ...?

Please be more specific...:

- how are you using the external link?

- how exactly does it fail to work for you?

HiJulian,

Sorry I didn't explain the problem well enough the first time.

An example is that I have an iView to an ESS transaction, but we wanted to be able to view it among other KM content. We did this by geting the URL of the iView, creating an external link in the KM folder pointing to the iView on the same server. To make it easier to move content bewtwen Dev,QA,and Prod, we used the relative URL's starting with /irj/etc...

In Patch4, this worked fine and it picked up the http://servername just fine.

Now in Patch28, the resulting URL looks like http:///irj with the servername missing.

Thanks,

That seems indeed to be a bug. I'd recommend to open an OSS message.

Best regards, Julian

Hi Mike,

I just testes this on Patch 28, it works well, at least with newly created external links. Did you test to create a new external link the way you did before?

I agree this is a bug, but low on our priority list whith only a handfull of documents, so we are going to manually change them when we patch our Production environment.

Thanks for looking!

Mike
