Direct URL for a Contributor Application

[merdmann1]

Does anybody know what the syntax is of a URL specific to a Contributor Application? We are trying to avoid having users to go to the My applications home page for TM1 Applications before going to the Workflow page, but can't find in the documentation the syntax to create the URL. When we just use the URL from clicking on it, its very long with a lot excessive characters and would like something 'cleaner'. IN TM1 web, you can create a custom URL link for every report object, so figure you should be able to do something similar for Contributor Applications.

For instance, if Applications is accessed at this URL:
http://Servername:19300/pmpsvc//applications.jsp

And we have a Contributor Application called "TestApplication", what would be the direct URL? i.e., http://Servername:19300/pmpsvc/TestApplication

Hi merdmann,

I was just looking into what the link for this was myself because I was curious. It looks like when you deploy an application it generates a name in the backend for that specific application.(My application was called "Test" and it generated {3780b5ab-8814-4c81-8844-d194bea4ef20})

Then when you log into the application, it passes that name into "workflow.jsp" and then pulls the correct files to view your application. Although it doesn't look clean, copying the URL from the top of the page when logged into the application worked on for me from multiple machines on the network. The URL contains the backend generated name and passes it through workflow.jsp.

http://localhost:9510/pmpsvc/pmpjs/work ... =1&aid=%7B 3780b5ab-8814-4c81-8844-d194bea4ef20 %7D

Hey Strikk,

Thanks for the response.

Yes, agree, it works for me as well. However, hoping there is a way to replace the backend identifier with something cleaner like the application name so I don't need to send that long URL to users. For TM1 Web it allows you to build custom URLs for objects referencing the object name, not a backend ID, so hoping possible to do the same with a Contributor workflow application.

Regards,

Mark

Hiding long URLs of (email) links?
This is the most basic feature of a hyperlink, although I agree, that an object name would be crisper.
