Is it possible to pass system parameters such as #USER_ID# and #DB_SID# through from a custom navigator item in IFS9? I know this is possible in custom RMB menus as I’ve done it several times. 

 

 

 I’m trying to pass some user information through to an external website that I’ve developed and can’t figure out how to accomplish this. In the image above, I have my settings, however in the IEE the url below is what I get, devoid of any parameters.

Hi @tfturco,

I have tried this in one of our reference environments, but it looks like context substitution variables such as USER_ID are passed to the URL as is, which means the value of the variable will not be extracted and substituted before opening the web page. So it appears this is a limitation.

Hope this helps!
