Need correct Target Id for report logical links

Question

Dear Experts,
I have the following requirement where I need to have 5 Trade Funds related reports to be displayed when I click on the 'xyz' workcenter of my business role.
The standard Group Id (Work Center Link Groups) for the reports is FM-ALL-RE.
The logical links for the 5 reports included in the above Group Id are:
FM-MC13-1
FM-MC13-2
FM-MC13-3
FM-MC13-4
FM-MC14-1
So I did the following:
1. Created a custom workcenter e.g. xyz.
2. In workcenter definition, the Logical Link ID is abc (custom).
3. In logical link definition, abc is assigned to Target ID TSLSDASHWC.
4. Group Id FM-ALL-RE is assigned to workcenter xyz.
5. Workcenter assignment to Navigation Bar Profile and Business Role is done as usual.
But I am not getting the links for the 5 reports when I login using the business role and click on Workcenter xyz.
I have analyzed and found that the issue is happening because of step 3, where it seems the wrong Target Id is assigned.
Can anyone please guide as to which should be the correct Target Id which can solve this issue.
I tried to go through various standard SAP business roles but none of them had any link to my above 5 reports.

Hi Animesh,
I have got the feeling that you are correct concerning the SWITCH_ID field.
You have multiple possibilities to check if it is the reason. One would be to:
Set a breakpoint in method CL_CRM_UI_NAVBAR_SRV->TRAVERSE_WC_DEFINITION() for the following code
* remove entries with inactive switch id
  IF iv_ignore_switches EQ abap_false.
    LOOP AT lt_wc_infos ASSIGNING <wc_infos> WHERE switch_id_wc_a   IS NOT INITIAL OR
                                                   switch_id_wclg_a IS NOT INITIAL.
      lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
      IF cl_webcuif_switch=>is_switch_active( iv_switch_id = <wc_infos>-switch_id_wc_a ) EQ abap_false OR
         cl_webcuif_switch=>is_switch_active( iv_switch_id = <wc_infos>-switch_id_wclg_a ) EQ abap_false.
        DELETE lt_wc_infos INDEX lv_tabix.
        CONTINUE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
  ENDIF.
Then either just jump over the LOOP whenever it is hit or check the contents of LT_WC_INFOS
Now check in WebClient if your links show up
The solution to your problem is afterwards to activate the switch to ensure correct display and (more important) data content.
