Error description

  • Addresses an issue where the Developer Portal UI does not
    display the configured path alias
    For example:
    If I have a product with host alias defined as wibble
    (x-pathalias: wibble) with an API with host alias defined as
    wobble (x-pathalias:wobble)
    If I access the developer portal the links for the Product and
    API using those aliases will respectively be:
    https://portal.ibm.com/myorg/sandbox/product/wobble and
    https://portal.ibm.com/myorg/sandbox/product/wobble/api/wibble
    and if the user is aware of the link they can access.
    Accessing the Portal UI from the API Products view the link
    given is https://portal.ibm.com/myorg/sandbox/product/17 and via
    the product the api link is
    https://portal.ibm.com/myorg/sandbox/product/17/api/15
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • X-pathalias values in products and APIs were not honored on the
    Product and API list views meaning it used the normal node/x
    style URLs instead.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The portal code has been fixed to now honor x-pathalias values
    throughout the portal UI if set and use them for all navigation,
    falling back on node/x values if a pathalias is not provided.
    The issue is addressed in 2018.4.1.16, 10.0.2, and will be
    included in a future 10.0.1.x fixpack.
