Hi pkv,
  For launching a new external window use the following API
WDPortalNavigation.
navigateAbsolute("ROLES://portal_content/org.test.dev.folder.test_development/Kumar/Roles/TestManagerRole/Overview/MXssMenuPg",
                 WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_EXTERNAL,
                 WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,
                 null);
Open the required ivew and double check if the path is portal_content/org.test.dev.folder.test_development/Kumar/Roles/TestManagerRole/Overview/MXssMenuPg
If the path is correct then the action will launch the iview.
