Short form or Alias for the long PCD location

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

We have created some iViews, pages and roles in EP.

Roles have long pcd ID. like:

pcd:portal_content/com.<company name>.<root folder>/<sub folder ID>/<Role name with prefix>

I am using this full text to point to the correct UM role in UWL configuration. This is very long. Can I assign any alias or short name like, portal_requestor so that I can use only "portal_requestor" to point to actual UM role?

Please help me.

Thanks,

Bhavik

Although short urls are a working solution for your query I personally prefer the use of Portal Quick Links.

They are my prefered as they are very very short.

See the following link for more details: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/97/b0ef8b24a64ae884f0ab246e54cae5/frameset.htm

Thanks for the response.

But, i tries providing quick link in the role name field. But it doesn't recognize this quick link. It gives error saying, invalid UM role.

Short URLs and Quick links are the options using which we can access any iViews or pages through browser with short url.

But, my issue is, how can I specify role name with such short form in Portal at design time.

If you go to System administration -> system configuration -> Universal worklist & Workflow -> Universal worklist - Administration, You will get a table for Universal worklist Systems.

Try to edit any one system over here. You will get one field called User roles. This is the field where I want to specify different roles for which this UWL system should be used. But, those roles names with prefix are too long. I need some alias or short form for role to specify over here.

Hopefully, now requirements should be clear.

Thanks,

Bhavik

Hi,

The following help page...

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/92/a88931f2dd4631b9e8d530697d89c9/frameset.htm

...only talkes about roles for thant field and as you confirm it only accept UM roles.

So I guess you have to work with that...

Hi Bhavik,

You can try using the short urls at this location.

Hope this helps.
