Regarding Web Location link

Question

Hi,
when checking content in from IPM, there is a Web Location link displayed in the content information page of UCM.
In my case, the Web Location link is https://localhost:16001/imaging/faces/Pages/UrlTools.jspx?ToolName=AWVWR&DocumentId=2.IPM_000005
and there is no native link displayed in the content info page.
Any one has an idea on how the Web Location Url is computed for IPM files and how to control the display of URL(instead of https if i need http)? How to enable the Native Link for IPM files also?

Answer 1

The link calls the Image Viewer, which enables context-full annotations to unmodifiable images. This is the preferred way how images should be displayed. I think the viewer contains an option to display no annotations, if needed.
With no SSL Imaging runs at the port 16000. I'd expect that SSL/no SSL selection is made sometimes during the installation and should be configurable at later times.
I'm not sure if anything like a web-viewable format is created for images. If so, or if you need the native file, you should be able to obtain them if you know dDocName (ContentID) or dID. For web-viewable, check how URL is constructed for non-imaging files - it'll be something like http://localhost:16200/.... and for native files you might have to use the GET_FILE service.
However, to access you images I'd strongly recommend to use Imaging's URI (http://localhost:16000/... or https://localhost:16001/...)
