Approval emails sent from Service Point catalog requests have invalid link address for 'View Request' button

  • 1.  Approval emails sent from Service Point catalog requests have invalid link address for 'View Request' button

    Good day,

    We are experiencing an issue where request Approval emails sent to the approver have an invalid URL in the 'View Request' button link.

    We have set debugging on to try and isolate the cause of the problem. This is the email, with debugging statements, that the approver receives:

    Dear Approver,
    A request for Internet Access Request (76320) for Jones, Alice (alice.jones) requires your approval

    Kindly click on the "view request" link below to view and action

    Thank you.

    Customer Services
    BEGIN ADDITIONAL TEXT FOR DEBUG AND DIAGNOSTIC:
    Value of request_name - Internet Access Request
    Value of request_id - 76320
    Value of req_by_user_id - Jones, Alice (alice.jones)
    Value of request_approve_details - http://w16cadevcat:9002/casm.html#/bui/myTickets/76320?reqType=ct
    END ADDITIONAL TEXT FOR DEBUG AND DIAGNOSTIC


    [http://w16cadevcat:-1/usm/wpf?Node=icguinode.requestprofile&Args=76320]View Request76320

    The URL - http://w16cadevcat:9002/casm.html#/bui/myTickets/76320?reqType=ct  - in the debug statement takes you to the correct request in Service Point.
    This statement - [http://w16cadevcat:-1/usm/wpf?Node=icguinode.requestprofile&Args=76320]View Request76320  - which is what is in the 'View Request' button link  has square brackets around it and ':-1' after the server name, instead of the Catalog port number.
    The View Request does not work because of this incorrect syntax.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue in approval emails being sent from Service Point?
    Thank you,
    Patrick
