'Documentation link fails

Question

The 'Documentation' link on my MII 12.0.4 home page fails to resolve properly.  The link points to 'http://wbhelp.sap.com/manufacturing/xmii_120/{$Language}/43/E80B59AD40719AE10000000A1553F6/content.htm' but my MII account (coming from an LDAP data source) isn't providing the Language variable.  When someone from our Basis group (with administrative rights and also coming from LDAP) uses the link, Language is available as 'en' and the link works properly.
What is the source of the Language variable?  Why is it resolving properly with administrative rights but not developer rights?
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

The {$Language} in the url comes from the DynamicHomePageLibrary.xsl that builds the home page itself for the logged in user.  Whatever your particular custom home page theme is would likely inclue this xsl file such as:  <xsl:include href="/XMII/CM/xMIIDS/Themes/DynamicHomePageLibrary.xsl"/>
Your Language attribute is part of your profile which is the source of content used by the building process:  /XMII/Illuminator?Service=SystemInfo&Mode=CurrentProfile&Content-Type=text/xml
and then gets pulled into the help url with: 
<xsl:variable name="Language">
    <xsl:value-of select="/Profile/@Language"/>
</xsl:variable>
You will see at the top of the xml results for the above URL:  <Profile .....Language="en"...... along with other typical ones like IllumLoginName and IllumLoginRoles.
Do you not see this attribute or is it blank?
In fact, /XMII/PropertyAccessServlet?Mode=List which shows all of the name/value pairs in the session should more or less line up with the attributes in your home page profile xml.
