Error description
Hardcoded links where the WCM path is in a request parameter are not migrated
Local fix
Problem summary
Users Affected: All Java edition LWWCM users Problem Description: Hardcoded links where the WCM path is in a request parameter are not migrated
Problem conclusion
Migration recognizes anchor tags, extracts the path and tests the path against the list of migrated items to determine if the link points to WCM data, and whether the path has been altered. This logic ignores all request parameters, so if a link uses the request parameter WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT to indicate the WCM path then this link is not recognized. If the path is changed by migration the link will be broken. A regular expression capability was introduced to migration to support a wider variety of link styles. When the regular expression matches on a link, a capturing group captures the WCM path that needs to be updated. The regular expression is configured in migration.properties: link.identifier.regex=(["'])(?:http://www\\.mydomain\\.com/wps/p ortal)?/[^"']*?[\\&\\?]WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=(?:/wps/wcm/connect)?( [^"']+?)(?:\\&[^"']+?)?\\1 This regular expression will match links of the form: http://www.mydomain.com/wps/portal?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/wcm/path It will ignore other request parameters. Most scenarios will require only that the target domain is substituted in the link.identifier.regex property. If the regex is altered in any significant fashion, the WCM path must be captured by capturing group 2. If this property is not set then the extended functionality is not enabled, and all request parameters in links are ignored. Usage: After configuring migratio.properties, the transform-data step and all subsequent migration steps will need to be restarted.
