    2. Order Release Results
    3. Shipment Results

<OTM_WEB_SERVER_WITHP> signifies webserver hostname with protocol. Current PageURL is in the format <Protocol>://<WEB_SERVER>/dv/<OTM_WEB_SERVER_WITHP> replace with <Protocol>://<WEB_SERVER> of the current page or in case of malformed URL -> In the OTM URL with format <Protocol>://<WEB_SERVER>/GC3/..  use the <PROTOCOL>://<WEB_SERVER>
