I have a Crystal Report that redirects to another application URL and includes get variables in the link. For some reason those variables disappear when the page loads in the second application, and I'm not sure why.
When I view the source of the Crystal Report output, here is an example link:
<a href="javascript:parent.bobj.event.publish('hyperlinkClicked','CrystalReportViewer1__UI','target=_self&url=%2fintranet%2fAPI_PriceInc_Ltr%2fStart.aspx%3fslmno%3d1007%26cusno%3d2455%26venno%3d22364%26cutoff%3d08%2f01%2f2013%26increase%3d.01%26shipaddr%3d0%26effective%3d08%2f05%2f2013%26slmname%3dXXX#39;)" target="_self" class="fcb0e6b53e-82c1-4e73-b9a7-b7cebfc74add-5">GLASS BLOWING SHOP</a>
When I plug this into an html decoder to make sure it's correct, I get this result:
javascript:parent.bobj.event.publish('hyperlinkClicked','CrystalReportViewer1__UI','target=_self&url=/intranet/API_PriceInc_Ltr/Start.aspx?slmno=ZZZ&cusno=7597&venno=50065&cutoff=08/01/2013&increase=.01&shipaddr=773&effective=08/05/2013&slmname=XXXX')
The above string works perfectly when I plug it into the web page URL bar manually(adding the server IP, of course.) However, when I click on the link from the Crystal Report, I get this instead:
http://SERVER-IP/intranet/API_PriceInc_Ltr/Start.aspx?slmno
For some reason everything after the name of the first variable gets cut off. Any suggestions as to why?
Turns out this is a known bug that was documented ~3 years ago on the SAP webpage. Their support said it was resolved with an update, the poster came back stating that the issue was still present, and then there was never another response.
Here is the initial thread documenting the issue: http://scn.sap.com/message/9553393
Here is my thread bringing the issue back up (hopefully to resolution): http://scn.sap.com/thread/3416821
