E-PC: ViewContentURL Not Working For UNC Network Shared Paths
(Doc ID 2234745.1)
Last updated on NOVEMBER 23, 2019
Applies to:
PeopleSoft Enterprise PT PeopleTools - Version 8.55 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
ViewContentURL no longer works with UNC network shared paths in 8.55. Per PeopleBooks, it's supposed to be work, and an example is even provided in PeopleBooks:
ViewContentURL("\\\\PT-NFS01\\PSUSERWS\\TEMP\\TVN\\81X-PATCHES.TXT");
However, calling code like the sample code in PeopleBooks leads to the UNC path not being opened, and instead ViewContentURL thinks it's a component.
For example, calling code:
ViewContentURL("\\\\hostname\\SHARED_FOLDER\\test.txt", True);
The URL the browser tries to open ends up being:
http://server/psc/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/%5c%5c%5c%5chostname%5c%5cSHARED_FOLDER%5c%5ctest.txt
And that is an invalid URL.
