The Player supports two methods of configuration for the Web Profile helpurl configuration, local or hosted PeopleBooks. To properly record context IDs in a PeopleSoft application, you must s et the HelpURL field inside your active Web profile configuration to point to the pst8_gateway.html file, and append the context parameter string that makes up the URL.

 

Whether you choose to use a local version of PeopleBooks or a version hosted by Oracle, you must configure the HelpURL field to point to the published PlayerPackage and use the appropriate query string of parameters based upon your choice.

 

Local PeopleBooks configuration:
http://<server>:<port>/<directory>/pst8/hemi/pst8_gateway.html?ContextID=%CONTEXT_ID%&LangCD=%LANG_CD%

 

Hosted PeopleBooks/Universal Linking configuration:
http://<server>:<port>/<directory>/pst8/hemi/pst8_gateway.html?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=<first ul value>&ctx=<second ul value>

 

Note: For additional information about hosted PeopleBooks, see the PeopleBooks Online Library at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17566_01/epm91pbr0/eng/psbooks/psft_homepage.htm.

 

Use the Configuration Utility (inappconfig.cmd) to configure a link in the Player gateway page for PeopleBooks; for example, http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup.
