Deep links not working for Awards

RyanPE

I'm exploring using deep links in a variety of OTBI reports for PPM, and I've had a lot of success using them with Projects. However, when I attempt to use one for Awards, it isn't working properly.

I'm using the following documentation for reference:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/project-management/25a/fapca/deep-links-for-project-management.html

This is the specific construction of the link:

I would expect this link to take me to the Overview for the award, but it's instead taking me to the Manage Awards page, which I'm assuming is the page it redirects to when you don't have the necessary security to view the award details or if the link is malformed. However, I can click on the award from this page, and it takes me to the Overview, so I think I can assume it's not a problem with security. Any idea what the issue could be?

My other issue is that I'm unable to use the links without including the actual item key in the grid. For example, when using a deep link for a project, I use the Project ID as a parameter, but if I don't make the ID visible on the results grid, it appends two decimals places (".00") to the end of the ID in the URL, resulting in the link taking me to a blank page. I've tried using a calculated formula to convert it to a Double after truncating to 0 decimal places, but it still doesn't work. I'd like to be able to hide the ID as it has no use for the user and just takes up space.

Had same issue, relates to security to actually edit the Award.

Had exact same deep link, would not work for me as I did not have edit access on Awards.

Worked for another user (same analysis and deep link) who did have access to edit awards.

i have not found a "View" action for that deep link.

for project ID issue, instead of hiding, have you tried to "Exclude" from the layout by dragging to excluded fields?

I think I did a workaround, I'll look back but I also think i did something like CAST(Project_ID as CHAR)

I didn't think that "View" existed, which is strange. Could it be the link itself? Like I said, I can edit the award if I click on it from the Manage Awards screen; it's not as if I don't have the privilege.

It's frustrating to not be able to debug what the problem is and have to guess if it's a bug or something I'm doing wrong.

Hi,

Have you also tried to manually construct the deeplink URL, does that work?

https://HOSTNAME/fscmUI/faces/deeplink?objType=Awardoverview&objKey=paraAwardId=AWARDID;searchInd=O&action=EDIT

(replace HOSTNAME with your instance and AWARDID with an award ID that you know)

If that doesn't work I may suggest opening SR
