Hello,
I have been playing around with links to documents a bit and I am confused. I want to be able to attach a document to an object in a model and then export it all together to the business publisher so the document can be opened from the browser.
When I edit the link1 attribute, I can browse to the document and attach it to an object. This gives a pathname value like: D:\Directory\Filename.doc. So with drive letter and backslashes.
When I update the export and look at the export-7.1.0.xxxxx.log I see error messages like:
IT_1362b416f35_SEVERE 2012-03-19T14:59:30,357 Unable to open linked data D:\Directory\Filename.doc for parent 1152921521786791254 - Illegal character in opaque part at index 2: D:\Directory\Filename.doc
It seems the backslash is the problem, which supprises me, since that is what is filled in by the client itself.
When I change it manually to file:///D:/Documents/Filename.doc, the errormessage dissapears. But when I try to open this link from the export in the browser I get an empty file.
I read the ARIS BP documentation, but I am affraid it is still not very clear to me.
Can somebody confirm to me that all links to documents should be manually entered and of the form like file:///D:/Directory/Filename.doc?
Anyone any idea why the documents show up empty?
Any pointers to additional documentation are very welcome too!
Thanks!
Henk
Hi,
I can confirm I experienced the same issue in ARIS7.2.0.546073. And yes it happens only with the document in the had disk stored locally (like D:, C: etc). However for network drive it works fine (if the network drive is mapped). For the web pages or link written manually it works fine.
Thanks
