Problem Note 35244: Only a description for the link is published in SAS® Customer Intelligence Studio when specifying a brief type of "link" in the export definition
 |  |  |  |  |
When publishing the communication, only the description text for the link is exported, not the link URL itself.
With the hot fix, the default behavior is to export the Link portion of a UDF link field. This can be changed by setting a Java VM argument used by the MA Core server.
The argument is SAS.CI.EXPORT.LINKFORMAT. The value is used as a Java MessageFormat where {0} represents the text or label, and {1} represents the actual link URL.
The following example will export label:link:
To export as an HTML link you can use:
Quotes must be placed around the entire value because it contains a space. The embedded quotes must be escaped with a backslash.
The adminstration console for whatever Application Server a customer has is used to set the Java VM arguments, including this one.
