Setting up a webservice url for consumption in browser

Hi,
I am new at webservices and all this fancy stuff...
I managed to set up a webservice wrapper in NW Developer
Studio for my stateless session bean endpoint creating an order in our 3rd party erp system.
So far so good, I ceated a client proxy and a client jsp for testing purposes, and that works as well.
But I cant manage to find out how to call it directly
from a web browser, so that it posts the order and
returns with the result string. I tried the following:
http://host:50000/OrderRequestForEBasis/Config1?wsdl
&endpoint=Config1Port_Document
&operation=public abstract test.types.p2.OrderRequestResponse test.OrderRequestForEBasisViDocument
.orderRequest(test.types.p2.OrderRequest)
throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
test.RemoveException,
test.Exception
&formStatus=SUBMIT
&formAddElement=
&formRemoveElement=
&iparameters_orderRequest=
<<parameter 1 holding an XML string>>
&iparameters_system=
<<parameter 2 holding additional info>>
But that instructs the WAS to respond with the
webservice test web page.
Thanks for any hints
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
What you did is correct. You need to create client proxy and some front end application to call your web service. You cannot directly call any web services without doing all these things.
Url you have given is WSDL of your web service. Based on this description you need to create proxy for that. You cannot directly communicate with that.

Set-up with different urls for login server and mid-tier

The desired external host names are the following:
Portal -> http://www.myportal.com
Login Server -> http://www.login.com
The real (internal) host names are the following:
midtier -> midtier.xyz.com
infrastructure-> infra.xyz.com
How should the Oracle HTTP Server, Login/SSO server, portal be configured with this type of set-up?
In particular, what should be in the httpd.conf, dads.conf, mod_osso.conf files and which values should be passed to the ssocfg and ptlasst scripts? Does the DAS url need to have the internal or external host name?

How should the scenario described above be integrated into the instructions below? $HOSTNAME may refer to the internal or external midtier or infrastructure machine name. Which should be used?
Assume HTTPS for the login server --> https://www.login.com.

Subject: How to configure SSL with Portal 9.0.2
Type: HOWTO
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Creation Date: 25-OCT-2002
Last Revision Date: 16-JAN-2003
PURPOSE ------- This note explains how to set up SSL with Portal. There are several ways to configure SSL with Portal. This note uses SSL only between the browser and WebCache. The communication between the Webcache/Apache or PPE/Webcache is done in HTTP. This installation is a lot less CPU extensive than a full SSL configuration. Please note the configuration outlined here is not currently certified for Portal 9.0.2; however, it is fully supported by Oracle Support and Development. This means that this configuration was not tested by the Portal QA Department within Oracle. The difference in the QA test was that all components of the configuration were in SSL mode. SCOPE & APPLICATION ------------------- This note is intended for Portal administrators. This note is based on Unix. The Windows NT configuration is very similar. HISTORY ------- Version 1.0: SSL with a Unix shell script Version 1.1: Comment about the Webcache HTTP port How to configure SSL with Portal 9.0.2 -------------------------------------- Step 1 - Prerequisite --------------------- A. Get a SSL certificate ------------------------ IAS v2 is given with dummy certificates. You can use them. If you wish to use real SSL certificates, follow a note to configure SSL with Webcache like : - Note 161863.1 - Configuring WebCache with SSL - NT/2000 - Note 165305.1 - Configuring WebCache with SSL - Unix B. Password of the database schemas of portal --------------------------------------------- You need to have the passwords of the following database users: Database user Your passwords ---------------------------------------------- portal orasso orasso_ps orasso_pa These passwords are normally randomized during the installation of IAS V2. To find them, please follow one of these notes: - Note 206514.1 : IAS 9.0.2 : How to get the portal passwords to run the PTLASST script (Windows) - Note 199633.1 : Script to determine orasso password in 9iAS 9.0.2 on Unix - Note 205984.1 : Script to determine orasso password in 9iAS 9.0.2 on Windows C. Ports -------- During this installation, you will need to know a lot of ports of IAS V2. Please collect this information, before to begin. You can see the port list by going to the homepage of the midtier and of the infrastructure web page and clicking on the tab Port. You can also read the file portlist.ini that resides in both ORACLE_HOME in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/install. Here is the list, you need: Name of the port My port numbers Your port numbers --------------------------------------------------------------------- Midtier Web Cache HTTP port 7783 Midtier Web Cache HTTPS port 4459 Midtier Web Cache Admin port 4000 Midtier Web Cache Invalidation port 4001 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Infrastructure Oracle HTTP Server port 7784 Infrastructure Oracle HTTPS Server port 4460 Infrastructure Internet Directory(non-SSL) 4039 --------------------------------------------------------------------- D. Backups ---------- You should take a backup of your IAS installation in case that you want to revert all the changes done here and/or if you make a mistake during the configuration. The only good way to do a backup of IAS 9.0.2 is to have a full backup of the both ORACLE_HOMES of the Infrastructure and of the MidTier. Step 2 - Configure Portal to run in SSL --------------------------------------- 1) Edit the Webcache configuration Go to the administration port > http://hostname:web_admin_port/ > Typically http://hostname:4000/ Login: administrator/administrator Go to General Configuration / Site to Server Mapping -> Change the rule WebCache SSL - HTTP SSL -> Below the title Select "Application Web Servers" -> Check the checkbox with HTTP -> Uncheck the one with HTTPS -> Submit On the top of Webcache admin screen, press on <Apply the changes> Then restart WebCache. 2) Edit the dads.conf (in $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplql/conf) Add a new line in the DAD: <Location /pls/portal> PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList REQUEST_PROTOCOL=HTTPS,SERVER_PORT=4459 Where 4459 is the HTTPS port of the MIDTIER. 3) Modify the web.xml of the portal application ($MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/applications/portal/portal/WEB-INF) Add several parameters to the page servlet (PPE). [...] <servlet> <servlet-name>page</servlet-name> [...] <init-param> <param-name>useWebCache</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>useScheme</param-name> <param-value>http</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>usePort</param-name> <param-value>7783</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> [...] Where 7783 is the HTTP port of Webcache. Step 3 - Run the PTLASST ------------------------ Because of bug 2659809, we will remove an entry in OID before to run the PTLASST script. This entry will be recreated by PTLASST. Because of bug 2654938, we will reconfigure Webcache after PTLASST. Run this script, and modify the environment variables with the values found above. This scripts does 3 things: 1) It configures SSO/DAS to run in the infrastructure HTTPS port 2) It configures Portal in HTTPS mode, and associates Portal with SSO in HTTPS. 3) Restart OC4J and HTTP processes of the MIDTIER and INFRASTRUCTURE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - portal_ssl.sh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - export INFRA_ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/infra902 export MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/ias902 export INFRA_SID=iasdb export MIDTIER_SID=ias902 export PORTAL_SID=$INFRA_SID export PORTAL_TNS=iasdb export MIDTIER_HTTP_PORT=7783 export MIDTIER_HTTPS_PORT=4459 export WEBCACHE_INV_PORT=4001 export WEBCACHE_ADM_PORT=4000 export INFRA_HTTP_PORT=7784 export INFRA_HTTPS_PORT=4460 export OID_PORT=4039 export EM_PORT=1810 export PORTAL_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORASSO_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORASSO_PA_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORASSO_PS_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export HOSTNAME=machine.domain.com export IAS_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORAENV_ASK=NO export ORACLE_SID=$INFRA_SID . oraenv unset ORAENV_ASK echo '******** PART 1 - SSO IN SSL **********' export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=$INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin:$PATH export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH # This step will change the URL used to login by default for # all partner application cd $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin ./ssocfg.sh HTTPS $HOSTNAME $INFRA_HTTPS_PORT # This step add a new partner application to SSO. # It associates the new URL used by OIDDAS with SSO. cd $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib/ossoreg.jar -host $HOSTNAME -port 1521 -sid $INFRA_SID -site_name ssl_$HOSTNAME -success_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/osso_login_success -cancel_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/ -logout_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/osso_logout_success -home_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/ -start_date 08012002 -admin_id oracle -ip_check false -config_mod_osso true -oracle_home_path $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME -u root -sso_server_version v1.2 echo '---------------------' echo 'Change the URL of DAS' echo '---------------------' rm das.ldif echo 'dn:cn=OperationURLs,cn=DAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext' > das.ldif echo 'changetype:modify' >> das.ldif echo 'replace:orcldasurlbase' >> das.ldif echo orcldasurlbase:https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/ >> das.ldif ldapmodify -h $HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "$IAS_PASSWORD" -f das.ldif echo '******** PART 2 - PORTAL IN SSL **********' echo '-----------------------' echo 'Delete an entry in LDAP' echo '-----------------------' ldapdelete -h $HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "$IAS_PASSWORD" "orclApplicationCommonName=PORTAL,cn=Portal,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext"

Webcache has no way to limit the use of a port to a specific machine or IP address. This is not a real issue because the goal of SSL is not to avoid that people access your server but that people intercept the data sent between the browser and the webserver. But in case that you/your customer is very sensible about security and want a webserver with SSL only (what is very rare), you may want to add a firewall in front of Webcache to block the HTTP port.

Help URL for ESS web dynpro applications

Hi gurus,
I am trying to assign help URL for a standard ESS iView( Record working time).
When i go to the iView properties i have property showhelp. I have the same property for the page record working time.
When i set this property to yes at the page level the help option shows up and whn i set this at the iView level the help option does not show up ( in the right hand corner of the page or iView)
My main question... how do i set up the help url for this help. becuase even for page when i click on help it says "no help found"
I want to give a URL for this help link.
   Any thoughts on why this option is not popping up when i set the show help option for iView and how to enable the help URL for iView as well.
   Appreciate any help on the same.
regards
Sam

The Help option should show up in the iview tray if you set it at the iView level. Im not sure why that part isnt working for you.
For the iView help, you can set the property URL to Help Topic property on the iview or page.
If your version doesnt have this property, you can use the PCD inspector (available under system administration>Support>Portal Content Directory-->PCD Inspector). Browse to the iview, click on prop editor, click the Switch to PCM property. Edit the com.sap.portal.iview.HelpUrl and enter your help url.
Hope this helps-
Marty

Setting the webservice url at run time for a execute button in adobe form

Hi,
I am using Data connection from the wsdl file to interact with the backend, the button generated from the data connection is of type execute which has the url of the webservice in the object property "Webservice URL" and name of the FM in the interface name. My problem is at present the form is working fine but when the same form transported to QA and PRD them the url of the webservice gets change. hence the same button wont function.
The solution is either we do the changes manually in all the system or pass the url at run time. Please proide me the solution if there is a way to set this url in the execute button at runtime.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja

Why don't you pass in the URL via an XML input file and bind a hidden text field in your form to that element in your XML? Then use javascript to modify the docReady event of the submit button to something like this:
var url = textFieldWithURL.rawValue;
this.event__click.submit.target = url;

Set URL for button in a PageButtons tag on a savedialog

I'm working on an application and need to be able to set the values for the button URL where the buttons are generated from a PageButtons tag in a savedialog page. They are being set to return to the page where the save button was clicked which is a JSP, but the application restrict access to the JSP to be performed through a Servlet Handler so I a get a permission error. I need to be able to set the button url to be show.analayze Does any know how I can change the URL for the buttons?

For the person in the future, you have to 'fake create' the Automated Row Fetch process.
The get_blob_file_src gets all the information from that Process and the column name of the Item Type that is on the same page.
I forgot where I read about that trick.
Basically, you create the Automated Row Fetch process, then 'disable' it.
Same thing with the required Item Type. Create it as a "File Type", just to tell APEX that it comes from a Database Column,.... then change it to a 'hidden' type.
You don't have to "fake' it if the application already contains the file upload item and ARF. The assumption is that the application will contain these components in order to maintain the BLOBs and you'll just reference the functional ones.

Cannot Set URL For Report Server SSL Binding In SSRS 2008R2

Hi,
I have an SSL certificate that has a number of subject alternate names and I need the SSL binding for the report server and the report manager to be against one of these names, not the certificate name.
However, while it is possible to set the host header for a non-SSL identity and therefore control the URL reserved, it does not seem possible to set this for an SSL identity - the edit dialogue box simply generates the URL when you choose the certificate
from the dropdown box.
How do I set the URL for a report server SSL binding?
Cheers
Dan

Hi Charlie,
You are correct, i am configuring SSL connections on a native mode report server and i want to configure a custom URL for it.
However, my issue is not that I cannot see the certficate - it is that I cannot set a custom URL for SSL connections. Apologies, I should have written up an example of what I am seeing:-
I have installed a certificate for a.company.com. It shows up fine in the certificate list/dropdown for configuring the web service URL SSL certificate.
I can set a host header for non-SSL traffic for a.company.com and the binding succeeds. I can also set an SSL identity in the same Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window for a.company.com and this also binds correctly.
However, the certficate is like a wildcard in that it supports 4 more URLs in its subject alternate name property. I would like to set an SSL identity for b.company.com which is one of those entries.
As an aside, the certificate is also installed in IIS and succeeds in binding to b.company.com. I mention this as it shows that the certificate appears to be installed correctly and is working in its wildcard-like capacity.
I can also successfully set a host header for b.company.com for the report server for non-SSL traffic. It is b.company.com that I would like to host the report server and manager under.
The issue I have is that if I try to add an SSL identity for the report server web service for b.company.com using the Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window, there is no editable box for URL and so it does not allow me to set the URL/host
header - it therefore always binds to a.company.com.
I have scoured the boards for answers and there have been a couple of mentions, but neither has worked for me.
This one talks about adding the required
https://b.company.com/reportserver to the rsreportserver.config file and the OP describes the issue pretty much exactly as I am experiencing plus the responder talks about this guidance as coming from MS support - however when I followed the steps the result
is the same as without the configuration:-
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/threads/ssrs-2008-host-headers-and-ssl.28571/
Another suggestion (for which I have lost the link) was to amend the URL config in that file directly and add the required entry. Both posters claim it has worked for them so I am sure that using a wildcard certificate with SSRS does work! I think in my
case I am missing some extra steps as it is fine to amend the config file directly, but I don't think this actually kicks off the SSL/URL binding process which is what the dialogue window does.
Hope this helps in explaining further. I am sure this is resolvable as I cannot believe the only option for SSRS is to bind to a single domain name and ignore the other wildcard/alternate options.
Cheers

Substitution strings not working in URLs for web service references (bug?)

We have an environment where the url for our BPEL server is read from a variable. I've created an application item and a corresponding application-level computation. I'm using the ampersand-followed-by-dot (&BPEL_SERVER.) syntax as well as the hashmark syntax (#BPEL_SERVER#) and am unable to get this working.
Is there a way for me to debug web service reference calls other than whether a call was successful? Is this a bug?
edit:
Here is the error message I get when I try to use a substitution:
ORA-20001: The webservice was unreachable because either the URL you supplied was invalid, your environment requires a valid proxy server address for HTTP requests, or a wallet needs to be configured for HTTPS requests.

No problem - let me try to lay this out a little differently, perhaps I'm just missing something.
problem:
* we have separate development, test, and production servers for our database and bpel servers.
* The hostnames for these servers are stored in a table of key/value pairs
* This means that (by policy) the hostnames in URLs calling BPEL web services should be the value corresponding to BPEL_SERVER so that the appropriate bpel server is used to call the web service
attempted solution:
1) I created an application item named BPEL_SERVER
2) I have a before-header computation that sets BPEL_SERVER to 'http://bpeldev' using a static value assignment
3) I have a web service reference whose URL is either &BPEL_SERVER./orabpel/default/callNotification/1.0 or #BPEL_SERVER#/orabpel/default/callNotification/1.0
4) The web service reference is called in an after-submit process.
5) An invalid URL exception is thrown for this process.when submitting on the page containing this process
observations:
* for (3) - I can set the URL to http://bpeldev/orabpel/default/callNotification/1.0 and everything occurs successfully
* for (3) - If I use http://bpeldev/&BPEL_SERVER. then when I execute (4), I see a request for the exact string http://bpeldev/&BPEL_SERVER. in bpeldev's access logs
* for (3) - If I use http://bpeldev/#BPEL_SERVER# then when I execute (4), I see a request for the exact string http://bpeldev/#BPEL_SERVER# in bpeldev's access logs
* for (2) I've also used a function call RETURN get_const_value('BPEL_SERVER'); - same results for (5)
* the item value has ben verified before (5)
* for (1) and (2) I've tried defining substitution strings in the application definition instead - same results for (5)

Trying to call a Webservice - "Settings for the J2EE Server do not exist."

Hi, we're on SAP ECC 6.0 and I'm trying to get access to a webservice:
BAPI converted to Webservice ok
Webservice activated ok
http active ok
WSADMIN - click on the WSDL button - browser launches, user id requested, userid given, WSDL displays perfect! Even tested from the outside.
WSADMIN - click on the Web service homepage - Settings for WDSL generation (RPC or Document style, same result) - Error - "Settings for the J2EE Server do not exist."
Internet browesr - I go to the URL for the WSDL - works again perfect!
Internet browesr - I go to the URL - error ! <faultstring xml:lang="en">SOAP processing failure, error id = 112 </faultstring>
Are the two errors the same?
Do I have to have a J2EE server to enable Webservices?
Is this a complex system change?
Is there a workaround?
Thanks for any tips on getting Webservice to function
Philip

hi,
when the WAS ABAP has a webserver running and the WSDL service up and running (WSDLs are created dynamically) you get the WSDL served from WAS ABAP.
"Webservice homepage" is an application written in Java and running on WAS Java., So, if you want to use that application you have to have a WAS JAVA up and running, you have to have the application 'Webservice homepage' up and running and of course on WAS ABAP you have to have the URL of the WAS JAVA specified to enable the WSADMIN function to link you to the Java app.
Most probably you do not even have a WAS Java running and/or the application 'webservice homepage" not set up. Either way, in my opinion the application "webservice homepage" is crap anyway (because it is not really independent. if SAP implements something strangely on the server side they of course implement it the same way on the client/testing side, so you never find out that in real world scenarios e.g. no client understands the feature X the way SAP implemented it). use any non-SAP-tool to test your SAP webservices, e.g. XML Spy, or SOAPUI.
my 2 cents,
anton

How create dynamic URL for every row shown in the report?

Hi,
Iam new to this Application. I created one interactive report to find the number of bugs logged for every product and its sub component for past one year. The report will look like below structure in the application.
Product Subcomponent Total
P1 S1 10
P2 S2 4
P2 S21 15
Now i want to pick the value of Prouct and sub component for every row dynamiaclly and want to generate the URL with the conditions and make it as hyperlink for the Total Column.
Iam able to make hyperlink for the Total column using the edit options for the total attribute, but it is opening the same page for all the rows in the total column. I want to generate dynamic URL by picking the value prodcut and sub componenet dynamically from the report for every row and want to make it as hayperlink for every row individually.
Please tell me how to do this?
Please revert back if you are not clear. Appericiate for your quick help.

Hello <unknown user>,
So you already set the Column Link attributes for your Total column. Should all links go to the same page, but with different parameters (ProductID, SubcompID)? Or to another page? And how can you determine that page?
Assuming you'll go to a sort of detail page or form:
Target = [Page in this app]
Page = <your target page no>
Item1 = <ProductID field in target page>
Value = #PRODUCTID#
Item2 = <SubcompID field in target page>
Value = #SUNCOMPID#
(you can use the ' flashlight' for getting the correct values)

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Ved

How do i find the url for my iMac

How di I find the URL for my iMac?

Can you explain in more detail what you mean? A URL is the address of a website - such as Apple.com or Harvard.edu. A computer will only have a URL if it has been set up as a web server and has name servers pointing to it (so that people looking for yourcomputer.com will be sent to the right place).
Conversely, every computer has an IP address, which is numerical. If you're connected directly to your internet, you will have a public IP address (it might look like 245.46.120.30, for example). Most people connect to the internet through a router, though, which gives them a private IP address only visible within their own network (something like 192.168.1.4).

Using a variable to insert into a URL for redirecting clients

I got a good one, can anyone help on this?
Using RoboHelp Version 8.02.208.
My company uses MicroStrategy to deploy several web-based data analysis products.
Each of these data products (there are 5) are deployed on different servers.
I have set up a single source WebHelp project and use build tags for product specific help output.
(I also have to modify the Start Page, TOC and Default Topic settings prior to generating each product help)
Everything on this works fine and is not a problem.
We have just implemented an Excel add-in for one of the products.
That add-in uses a locally installed CHM file for its help.
In order to provide customized help that can be updated without forcing the clients to reinstall the CHM help file locally, the source for the CHM file has one dummy topic. In that topic, I have used HTML code to redirect the client to the WebHelp for the product and have integrated the Excel add-in help to that product’s customized help. The result is that the CHM file is opened locally in the HTML help viewer. Inside the HTML help viewer window, I open the WebHelp.
The redirect HARD CODES the URL with the product specific server name and Start Page help topic.
That works fine and is not a problem for ONE PRODUCT.
We are in the process of adding this Excel add-in to other products.
Now here is where I cannot get this to work with my implementation.
The URL for each product is different and to make matters worse, the Start Page is different for each product as well.
So, I am working on options for implementation of multiple products and here is my question:
(1) The following is an example of the redirect in the single topic of the CHM file:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://server.com/ProductName/WebHelp/StartPage.htm#mergedProjects/ExcelPlugIn/ Overview.htm" />
(2) The red portion of the URL above will need to be modified to support each individual product with a custom server, product name and start page HTM file name.
Is there a way to:
(1) Add a variable in this HTML code
(2) Once the product is identified, update the variable with the product specific URL content
(3) Integrate the variable into the target URL of the HTML code that does the redirect
I think this is either not possible or more work than needed. My other option is to provide standalone Excel add-in help on a server and just have the Excel plug-in go to that (right now it is integrated into the product specific help and the client has access to the plug-in help AND the application help all at the same place).
Thanks to all in advance for any help/suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback - here is more informtion on the challenges of this implementation:
I can only distribute one CHM file to cover all 5 web-based products that can be accessed through the Excel plug-in.
Regardless of which of our 5 products is used to install the plug-in on the client's local hard drive, the same installer is used.
That one CHM file is installed locally on the client's hard drive.
(The out of the box CHM file for the plug-in only has general plug-in help content the locl install causes problems for updating the content).
We needed to be able to easily update the help without inconveniencing the clients.
So, I am not creating 5 different CHM files for each installer, since there is only one installer regardless of how many of the 5 products they have.
The plug-in has a server setting and web service setting for each product and the client must choose which they are accessing when they fire up the plug-in.
They may be accessing the plug-in for any of our 5 web-based products they have subscriptions for.
Which means, the one CHM file must be able to:
(1) determine the product they are accessing
(2) direct to one of the 5 servers with the online help.
Each of the 5 online helps are deployed on separate servers with different URL links (and the helps have all different URL links as well).
These online webhelp outputs have some identical content but also some customized content for the specific product they are actually accessing.
My original approach was pretty much the same as William's above. Have a variable in the CHM help, determine the server they are accessing from the plug-in and insert the customized portion of the URL to access the appropriate webhelp.
Keep the ideas/suggestions coming.
I also have a development person looking into how to update a variable on the CHM side to populate the URL.
