Symptoms

On a Portal Interaction HUB 9.1 at PT 8.54.15 & Unified Navigation links against remote Finance 9.2 and  HCM 9.2

Users are getting the following Error "Site name is not valid. Check your url syntax and try again. " when a user clicks on New window and then select's a link from Favorites - Recently Used links (MRU). The URL on the window with the error is as below
"http://myserver.example.com:8100/psp/mysite_3_4/EMPLOYEE/ERP/c/ENTER_VOUCHER_INFORMATION.VCHR_SRCH_WRK.GBL?FolderPath=PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT.EPCO_ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE.EPAP_VOUCHERS.EPAP_VCHR_ENTRY.EP_VCHR_SRCH_WRK&IsFolder=false&IgnoreParamTempl=FolderPath,IsFolder&cmd=uninav&cmd=uninav&uninavpath=Root{PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT}.myFinance{PTUN_11452063500044300,PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT}.Accounts Payable{EPCO_ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE}.Vouchers{EPAP_VOUCHERS}.Add/Update{EPAP_VCHR_ENTRY}.Voucher Search{EP_VCHR_SRCH_WRK}&Rnode=PSFT_EP"


Not all links are bad, some do work fine. the only difference seen in URL is "http://myserver.example.com:8100/psp/mysite_3_4/". The working URLS have only one underscore '/mysite_3/'. the Bad URL have 2 Underscores as above 'mysite_3_4/'
