Relative Link to Portal

Dear SCN,

our client has a demand where a hyperlink to SAP Portal is published into the BusinessObjects.

However, with "hardcoded" server name and port (http://server:port/irj...) in this URL, it will not work when we transport it to other environments.

Therefore, we need to build a kind of "relative URL" to Portal, where the server will be picked up by environment.

Please, has anyone ever faced such a requirement?

In Portal it's known that we can build relative paths for URL's (in the same server), with a call that's something like "/irj/servlet/prt/portal/.." (suppressing server and port).

Can something similar be used in BO to refer to the desired Portal environment?


Or else, is there any way we can, for example, set up "variants" in the BO which can be used to build the URL?

Thank you very much.

Fabio

SAP's response for this question:

"As hyperlinks are static objects which act as just links, it is not possible to change the URLs centrally. You have to manually change the URL of each hyperlink.
If you wish to change all the URLs dynamically in one go, you can write your SDK code using BOE SDK to do so. Please find below the link to BOE SDK.

Hi Fabio,

Thank you Anuj,

if I'm not mistaken, this thread is regarding OpenDocument only (BO local access), right?

My problem lies in the external access to Portal.

But thanks for your prompt response.
