Hello Everybody,
I attached a PDF file in an EPC and then published the model.
In ARIS Business Publisher I can see the PDF icon but when I click on the icon an empty webpage is displayed.
I then created a link to the EPC model in ARIS Business Architect (Navigation Pane of ABA). again I can see the link in ABP but the link does not work and display only an empty webpage.
Grateful if anyboby has some tips for me.
Thanks beforehand
Cheers

Hello Shameem!
What profile do you use for publishing?
Hello Mariya,
I created a 'test' profile containing all of the following:
Name:
Publisher Export Profile
Description:
Created by SHAETO on 23.09.2009
Use print scale:
Yes
Initial scaling:
100
Scalings:
25
50
75
125
150
200
225
Black and white:
No
Transparent:
No
Model sorting:
Sort ascending
Object sorting:
Sort ascending
Attribute sorting:
Sort by method
Link attributes:
System attribute 'Link 1': Yes
System attribute 'Link 2': Yes
System attribute 'Link 3': Yes
System attribute 'Link 4': Yes
User attribute 'Link 1': Yes
E-mail address: Yes
Home page: Yes
Picture: Yes
User attribute 'Link 2': Yes
User attribute 'Link 3': Yes
User attribute 'Link 4': Yes
User attribute 'Link 5': Yes
User attribute 'Link 6': Yes
SAP user attribute 'Link 1': Yes
SAP user attribute 'Link 2': Yes
SAP user attribute 'Link 3': Yes
SAP user attribute 'Link 4': Yes
SAP user attribute 'Link 5': Yes
Reference (link): Yes
System attribute 'DMS link 1': Yes
System attribute 'DMS link 2': Yes
System attribute 'DMS link 3': Yes
System attribute 'DMS link 4': Yes
Copy documents:
Yes
Temporary file names:
Yes
Then I used the "System attribute 'Link 1" to insert the path where the PDF is kept.
Moreover I discovered something. As I am also our MS SharePoint Admin, I created a library in SharePoint where I kept all the PDF. Strange enough when I call for the PDF from ABP, the right document is displayed. Meaning there must be something wrong with the repository where I kept the PDF before. But what I see strange is that the folder in which I kept the PDF at start, is a shared one with full access to 'Everybody'.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your
Hello Shameem.
Since you are publishing with "yes" in the "copy document" parameter, the system will transfer your PDF file to the same area as the Business Publisher Data. You probably have no access rights to that area. Now you have 2 options:
1 - Establish the correct rights for the Business Publisher Data area or
2- Set the parameter in the profile to "no" and the system will access the PDF from the original lopcation.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
