unable to open a related artifact link to unc path via Webui
I am creating work item links of type "Related Artifacts" to point to
unc path with syntax like file:///<hostname>/<share>/filename.extention. Such links open fine when opened from the Eclipse based RTC Client. However, the same link does not open from the WebUI. Is it a bug? |

This is as designed behavior.
The "Add Related Artifact" wizard is implemented with respect of java lang URI API http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URI.html that implements the URI spec - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt The fact that a given client - Eclipse, WebUI, other - is able to open such link - support such links syntax - is out of RTC Product scope. As an example - the Eclipse Client is able to handle such file:/// syntax. This behavior is confirmed by the fact that some browsers partially support such syntax - some others do not. Some clients browser may have a add-on that knows how to handle such URI. jazz.net work item: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/210671 Spencer Murata selected this answer as the correct answer

Eric,
I understand this implements the URI spec. Any thoughts though on how we should link to a file like this? I've also tried \\hostname\directory\filename, but this gives an error saving. |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
