Bookmarking in IBM BPM v7.5
I had a "prickly" PMR recently that pertained to the use of bookmarks in IBM BPM v7.5. It's not something that's really documented anywhere (or necessarily supported) but it is something that smart users will do and so it makes sense to i. understand how things work and ii. where possible, design solutions in such a way that users can work smart.
My Tasks (i.e. Saved Searches)
https://bpm.mycompany.com/portal/jsp/getSavedSearch.do?startsWith=0&search=5
0 = what number (individual row) to start from
5 = search id (SEARCH_ID in LSW_SAVED_SEARCH) - will work even if you don't have access to the search
Bookmarks generated from these links will not reference components in specific Snapshots and will work as the end users might expect when new snapshots are deployed.
My Scoreboards
https://bpm.mycompany.com/portal/jsp/viewScoreboard.do?id=2015.21545
2015 = some kind of indicator that you're talking about a dashboard
21545 = FAVORITE_ID in LSW_FAVORITE
As far as I can tell ITEM_TYPE in LSW_FAVORITE needs to be 13 for these links...
Bookmarks generated from these links will reference components in specific Snapshots and will not work as the end users might expect when new snapshots are deployed. Even when the old snapshot is de-activated the links will still function (this was the subject of my "prickly" PMR) and point to the older snapshot.
My Projects
https://bpm.mycompany.com/portal/jsp/viewProjectPage.do?pageUrl=/jsp/runServiceLayout.jsp?processRef=/1.94dd71bd-da47-40e6-b6ef-0514386cbfec&favId=21516
1.94dd71bd-da47-40e6-b6ef-0514386cbfec = ITEM_ID in LSW_FAVORITE and PO_ID in LSW_PO_VERSIONS (with "1." in front)
21516 = FAVORITE_ID in LSW_FAVORITE
As far as I can tell ITEM_TYPE in LSW_FAVORITE needs to be 1 for these links...
Bookmarks generated from these links will reference components in specific Snapshots and will not work as the end users might expect when new snapshots are deployed. When the old snapshot is de-activated the links will no longer function. When the old snapshot is not de-activated the links will continue to function but will still point to the older snapshot.

Bookmarks generated from these links will not reference components in specific Snapshots and may (they will reference the Default Snapshot) work as the end users might expect when new snapshots are deployed.
