PK65640: URLs cannot be edited in Portal Designer after publishing in the workbench and Portal Server

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.9

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When Rational Application Developer exports the Portal configura
  tion, it fails to include the com.ibm.portal.internalurl.refobje
  ctid parameter which prevents the user from editing the page tha
  t the URL points to later on (i.e. can't be done through the Por
  tal Admin pages).
  Output :
          ?content-node action='update' active='true' content-pare
  ntref='OID_label.e01a746991' ordinal='300' preserve-old-layout='
  true' type='internal-url' uniquename='urlLink.8eacb56991'?
              ?supported-markup markup='html' update='set'?page.01
  1a746991?/supported-markup?
              ?localedata locale='en'?
                  ?title?Link to Page1?/title?
        ?/localedata?
      ?/content-node?
  There should also be an element of the form:
  ?parameter name='com.ibm.portal.internalurl.refobjectid' type='s
  tring' update='set'??![CDATA[6_UE4S1I93086I402JQDEPO62GH6]]??/pa
  rameter?

Local fix

Problem summary

• The URL was not editable after publishing both in Rational
  Application Developer as well as in Portal Server.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem of url editing has been fixed by enabling it
  even for published portal projects.
  
  The problem for url editing on portal server has been fixed
  by generating an extra parameter refobjectid for every url
  that is created in Rational Application Developer which
  portal server uses to recognize which page it points to.
  
  Fixed in Rational Application Developer V7.0.0.9
