Opening URL for PDF files

[Annette Kitzmil]

Hello,

I relativley new and need some direction on how I would get a pdf document being retrieved from a different system via a url to open the specific form related to the record.  Below is code I attached to a UI action button.  However, I see there are various ways to do this and I am just not sure what the best option is for opening the PDF form.  Does the code look right and/or, is there a better option to accomplish this?

var gsRecord;
var url = 'https://fn5digdev.mtb.com/navigator';
var desktop = 'BDA&';
var repository = 'Retail&';
var documentCME_ID = current.u_filenet_document_id;
var templateName = 'dcRetail&';
var version = 'release&';
var embedded = true;

function openURL() {
{

gsRecord = ('url' + 'desktop' + 'respository' + 'documentCME_ID' + 'templateName' + 'version' + 'embedded');

action.setRedirectURL(url);

}

}

Hi @Harsh Vardhan  - So I am pretty close with the script below with the exception of the removal of the {} that are around the document ID.  The commented out url is an example that I can now generate, but it is failing because I need to find away to remove the brackets that are part of the string for the document ID.  Do you know how I can accomplish this?

function onClick(g_form) {

var documentCME_ID = g_form.getValue('filenet_document_id');

//g_form.addInfoMessage(documentCME_ID);

var url = 'https://fn5digdev.mtb.com/navigator/bookmark.jsp?desktop=BDA&repositoryId=Retail&docid=%7b' + documentCME_ID + '%7dtemplate_name=dcRetail&version=released&embedded=true';

g_form.addInfoMessage(url);

top.window.open(url, '_blank');

}

//https://fn5digdev.mtb.com/navigator/bookmark.jsp?desktop=BDA&repositoryId=Retail&docid=%7{bCAE92191-...

Hi @Annette Kitzmil : You can try with regex to remove certain char from string.

Updated Script: 

function onClick(g_form) {

var documentCME_ID = g_form.getValue('filenet_document_id');
var regex = /\{|\}/g;
var newText = documentCME_ID.replace(regex, '');

var url = 'https://fn5digdev.mtb.com/navigator/bookmark.jsp?desktop=BDA&repositoryId=Retail&docid=%7b' +newText+ '%7dtemplate_name=dcRetail&version=released&embedded=true';

g_form.addInfoMessage(url);

top.window.open(url, '_blank');

}

 Hope it will help you.

Thanks,

Harsh

Hi @Harsh Vardhan  - I found that and tried what you attached for the regex for removal of the curly brackets and the curly brackets were not removed.  However, I may no longer need them removed, so I believe I am all set and appreciate all of the help.
