Navigation URLs 

A URL that navigates to a specific navigation node is made up of the base portal URL, plus a NavigationTargetparameter, whose value is a navigation target.

For example, the following URL

 

http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?
    NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole

 

navigates to the navigation node represented by the navigation target ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole.

The navigation target is made up of the following parts:

...

       1.      Prefix: A string that represents the navigation connector that defines the requested navigation node.

For the roles connector, the prefix is ROLES.

       2.      Separator: The character string  ://

       3.      Internal URL or Path: A string that can be interpreted by the specified navigation connector.

In the example, the path is portal_content/myFolder/myRole.

For more information, see Triggering Navigation.

OBN Target

To perform an OBN navigation, set the value of the NavigationTarget parameter to an OBN target. An OBN target specifies a business object, and can also specify the business object’s alias and an operation.

For example, the following URL

 

http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?
    NavigationTarget=OBN://BOTechnicalName=myBO/Operation=myOperation

 

performs an OBN navigation for the business object myBO and operation myOperation.

The OBN target is made up of the following parts:

...

       1.      Prefix: OBN

       2.      Separator: The character string  ://

       3.      Busines Object: BOTechnicalName=<Name of Business Object>

       4.      Business Object Alias: BOSystemAlias=<Business Object Alias>

This parameter is required for system business objects only.

       5.      Operation: Operation=<Name of Operation>

This parameter is optional.

Separate business object, alias and operation parameters with a slash (/).
