URL for UWL in email

[ramki_maley]

I need to provide a link in an email notification that would take the recipient directly to the UWL in portal. How do I determine what is the URL for UWL in any system? I am on EP7/SP13.

My apologies if this is not the right forum or if this question has been answered before. My search did not return any posts that could help me.

Hi ,

Check below thread

you can change hostname and port number in the url and you can use it

Another option:

Open the Page that contains your UWL iView and enter a value in the Quick Link property e.g. Worklist.

Call the page from your email notification with the URL http://hostname:port/irj/portal/Worklist

John,

I am not a portal person and could not figure out where to make the change you specified. Can you explain how to find/navigate to the page where I can update the Quick Link property?

Thanks,

Ramki,

Firstly, I would recommend you get some help from a portal person in your organisation if possible.

You will need the Content Administration role in the portal to be able to make the change.

The easiest way to find the page is to go to Content Administration > Portal Content then open the folder structure and find the Role that contains your UWL. You should be able to expand the role menu and find the relevant page. Open the properties editor for the page and enter a value in the Quick Link property and save it.

John,

Thanks. I am actually trying to help the Portal person! As the Workflow consultant I am responsible for making sure the UWL and email notifications work as required.

No worries Ramki, I didn't realise you had a portal person working on it with you.

We have been using Quick Links in email notifications for quite a while and never had a problem.

From memory, the only tricky part was making sure that the workflow logic built the correct URL for each system that it originated from (e.g. Dev, QA, Prod). I think our workflow person just built it so that it checks the System ID of the backend system, and then puts in the host name of the corresponding portal instance.

Hi Ramki,

You can directly call the UWL I View PCD path from your application.

For example you need to link UWL I View from an HTML page you can use Javascript as given below.

"javascript:EPCM.doNavigate(PCD_LOCATION)"

For UWL I View it will be :

"javascript:EPCM.doNavigate(pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.coll.iviews/com.sap.netweaver.coll.uwl.uwl_iview)"
