Syntax documentationview_document_from_url Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use this method to display a document in the Document Viewer. You identify the document by its Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The URL can be generated (by the BDS), but can also have one of the forms HTTP://, FTP://, or FILE://. You must already have initiated the Document Viewer (init_viewer method).

Note Note

You should use the Business Document Service (BDS) to manage your documents. Its programming interface contains a method that returns the URL of a document. You can use the URL directly in the document_url parameter of this method.

End of the note.
