Issue adding navigation Link into portal navigation

Kingsley Rajamani

We just migrated WCP from 11.1.1.7.0 to 11.1.1.9.0.    After migration, I am not able add a link with relative URL.  Please see the image.  Any thoughts?

Hi Kingsley,

The issue you are seeing has been introduced as a security fix in version 11.1.1.9.x

I suggest you take a look at :

Bug. 27382851   : Custom Portal doesn't pick up changes from valid-link-url.xml

However, there are customers that report that this issue is not fully fixed so, please feel free to open a Service Request.

Kind Regards,

Ana

Hi Both,

In 12.2.1.2, at least I cannot reproduce this behavior. (I do not have in hands now a 11.1.1.9 release).

This validation has been removed in 12c?.

If your jsp is under /webcenter application you can refer it without problems.

Kind regards.

Hi Daniel,

The issue from Bug 27382851 is particular to 11dot9 and has been introduced/noted from version 11.1.1.9.170718 onwards , but there is no mention of WCP 12c. It is interesting that the behavior does not appear in 12c

There is also a patch for 27382851 for WCP 11.1.1.9.170718 and 11.1.1.9.171222

Thank you,

Ana
