JR49645: COPY LINK FUNCTIONALITY IN PROCESS PORTAL LEAVES OUT HOSTNAME

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Copy link functionality in Process Portal leaves out hostname
  but
  contains the path and relevant query.
  
  Example:
  /ProcessPortal/dashboards/TWP/BPM_WORK?tw.local.view=taskcomplet
  ion&tw.l
  ocal.taskid=10398
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• Yes. You can copy the host and port from the Process Portal URL
  and append it to the path of the copied link.
  

Problem summary

• The copy link function in Process Portal omits the host name and
   port from the URL. You cannot use the copy link function in
  Process Portal because the link is missing the host name,
  although it contains the path and relevant query, for example
  /ProcessPortal/dashboards/TWP/BPM_WORK?tw.local.view=taskcomplet
  ion&tw.local.taskid=10398
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 is available that fixes the copy link
   function by adding the host name and port to the beginning of
  the URL.
