Troubleshooting
Problem
When you copy and paste the share URL for a folder, the appropriate folder is selected. However, the perspective might be the default "home" perspective, instead of the custom perspective from your sample.
Symptom
For example, the original URL might be:
http://servername:9300/bi/?perspective=MyWelcome&folder=.public_folders%2FCUSTOM&location=team
Whereas the shared URL might result in:
http://servername:9300/bi/?perspective=MyWelcome&folder=.public_folders%2FCUSTOM&location=team
Whereas the shared URL might result in:
Resolving The Problem
In Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 FP3, a showFolder javascript API can be called from the .Content service to open the folder panel and show the specified folder path. For example,
__glassAppController.glassContext.getSvcSync('.Content').showFolder('.public_folders/FolderA');
opens and show FolderA in Team Content.
The API can be tested through the console. The content service can be retrieved using:
__glassAppController.glassContext.getSvcSync('.Content')
And the API is showFolder(path), where path is the same format as the current share urls, so .my_folders or .public_folders as root with folder names separated by a slash (/).
This API works whenever the content navigator panels are available.
Note: This issue does not appear in 11.2.0, as content is separated from home and includes its own perspective.
