Creating the web server URL named path
Metrics Management supports generating Metrics Management portal and active web publishing links from the Windows Client and the Web Client. Links generated from the Web Client contain the URL of the Web Client application on which Metrics Management resides. In the Windows Client, before generating a link, create a named path which defines the web server URL that hosts the link. Otherwise, links generated from the Windows Client begin with http://localhost/MetricsManagement/. The URL specified in the named path must end with a forward slash. Create a named path using the following syntax:
http://ServerName/MetricsManagementWebClient/
where
*ServerName/MetricsManagementWebClient specifies the address of the Metrics Management Web Client application, for example:
MetricsManagementServer/MetricsManagement/
Alternatively, create a named path using the URL to the intranet or internet site which hosts Metrics Management.
How to create a named path to the web server URL
1 In the Windows Client, choose Setup➛Configure➛Options.
2 In Named Paths or URLs, choose Add.
3 In Add Named Path or URL, perform the following tasks:
1 In Name type Default Web Server URL.
