Workflow and Portal Short URLs

Hi all,
I have created a custom link for a workflow that uses a portal short URL.  if I run the URL by itself, then it works fine.  When I add it to the URL link in the workflow, it doesn't show up in the workflow e-mail.  Something is confusing the program and changing code so the URL doesn't get added properly.  I know that it works if I use say a direct link to an iView (using the URL if you were to click the Preview button when viewing the iView in the Portal Content Directory).
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?  I like the anonymity of the short URLs.
Hope this makes sense,
Kevin

I can't get the short URL to work within a workflow.  There is something with the combination of letters and numbers and other characters that when the link gets created, it fails. 
Short URL just comes from the Portal.

  • DNS Name to portal (short) URL

    Hi folks,
    we are going to integrate some webapplications via url-iview in our portal (2004s). The applications have there own dns-name within our domain-dns-server.
    After the integration, my plan is that the dns will be resolved into a portal (short)URL. In IIS i can take the hostheader for this, but how is it possible in the portal?
    best regards
    Frank

    Hi,
    ok I finally got it
    You will encounter the following problem:
    If you configure your alias ABC to resolve to the IP Address of your portal there is no application associated with it (/xxx) so you will always call the index.html (J2EE Startpage of your J2EE)
    What you can do here is modify the index.html to redirect to a specific destination using meta http-equiv="refresh"
    e.g.
    meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/irj/portal/
    Since it is just HTML you cannot disinguish and you will always be redirected to this destination when accessing the startpage or just http://portalhost
    Now you have several ways to solve this:
    1. I think that you can define Virtual Hosts in the HTTP Provider Service (Visual Admin / HTTP Provider Service) and Application Aliases (I've never done that but it should work). This means that you define a virtual host (e.g ABC) and map it to any application e.g /myAPP1 on your J2EE
    see the following doc:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e5/ac55423948b330e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    2. You can change the Directory Index of your Engine (HTTP Provider / Properties TAB / Infer Names Property) and add something like index.jsp to the list
    Default Value is:
    {index.html,index.htm,default.html,default.htm}
    Then you rename your index.html to something like startpage.html and put the index.jsp in the directory instead. In your JSP you will then be able to parse the Request (e.g. parse the Request URL, Headers etc. and send an appropriate redirect that fits your needs.) In all other cases you just send a redirect to startpage.html so you will still be able to see the Startpage if necessary
    You have to put this jsp in the following path:
    /usr/sap/<SID>/JC<InstanceNo>/j2ee/cluster/serverN/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root
    Note that if you are just typing
    http://ABC and ABC will be resolved to your portal IP you will have to bind your portal to port 80 in order to make this work (I would not do that because you will get into trouble when upgrading or patching) or you will have to provide the port e.g. http://ABC:50000
    If you do not want to provide the port than you will have to put a Proxy (e.g. IIS on the portal host that listens on port 80 and does whatever you like (e.g. parses HTTP Header and sends redirect or whatever)
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

    Enable/Disable Short URLs: When the short URL feature is enabled, all navigation URLs sent to the server are in short form. These URLs can be seen when, for example, adding a page to browser favorites.
    In order to use the Short URL's you need to
    1. Set the "Use Short URLs" property to "TRUE". This is done from System Administration -> Navigation -> Short URL's
    2. View the iViews atleast once from the portal, so that a short URL is generated before you can use the Short URL.

  • SRA Gateway and short URL's

    Is it possible to configure SRA Gateway so it redirect external requests with "short" urls to internal portal?
    https://gateway.abc.lt/banklogin.do -> https://gateway.abc.lt/http://psrv1.abc.lan:8080/banklogin.do
    Can it be achieved using additional Rewriter RuleSet or I have to configure a web proxy?
    Reason is, customers has been using these URL's for a while. We migrating from a configuration where loadbalancers used to hit portal server directly and there a bunch of URL with /serverlet.do form.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hey sorry to jump in on this, but you mentioned the Re=Write module for IIS. I was a little confused. Do you download this extension to you local desktop? or to your remote hosting server?. I have IIS on my machine, but at the moment have it disabled due to running WAMP as well. I know how to configure WAMP to run on a different port, but if this extension goes on my remote server, I wouldnt have to do that. Thanks for any advice!

  • "short" urls and multiple domain files

    In http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=655367&tstart=0,
    Apnewbie said:
    "If you have separate sites with separate Domain files and published separately to .Mac, they will be listed on your iDisk in alphabetical order and your short .Mac url will point to the one at the top of the list on the iDisk."
    I'm thinking about splitting my domain file, as my sites are growing large and it is time consuming for iWeb to recreate all the pages when I've only changed one site. I'd like to keep a particular "site" (consisting of one page with links to my other "real" sites) at the top of the list so it is always what appears when folks go to my short url. Are than any non-alphanumeric characters that I can use at the begin that won't cause problems for browsers?
    Does this mean that if my preferred "top site" is in domain file A and I publish domain file B after I've published domain A, the "top site" will still be the site at the short url?
    Also, can somebody please remind me again how to use a link in the forums here but have text other than the full url show up? I think I've done it before, but I've forgotten.

    I spoke too soon on this and a correction is needed. When you publish to .Mac using individual Domain files, your short url will point to the most recently published index.html file, which will then take you to your most recently published site. I tested this just prior to that last statement in that post and my browser cache tripped me up here.

    I don't think that's necessary; you can keep a copy of the index.html file which points to your preferred site and place it back on your iDisk after publishing any site to force your short url to point to the site of your choice.
    Does this mean that if my preferred "top site" is in
    domain file A and I publish domain file B
    after I've published domain A, the "top site"
    will still be the site at the short url?
    Again, the short url will point to the most recently published index.html file in .Mac. Sorry for the confusion.

    Hi,
    You'll need to determine the values and populate the URL in a PL/SQL activity earlier in the process.

    Search for keyword SONIC in this forum and blogs section. You will get the solution
