Administrator Unique Names Mapping Service

Administration portlets and themes create URL links to other administration portlets and pages. If these links were hardcoded, they would no longer be usable if we changed the unique names of these pages. A service for obtaining those unique names is provided in the portal Administrator Unique Names Mapping Service. This service contains properties with key-value pairs that map internal keys to the actual unique names assigned to the referenced pages.

In the WAS console, the portal Administrator Unique Names Mapping Service is listed as WP AdminUniqueNamesMappingService.

If we change the unique name of a portal administration page using the Manage Unique Names portlet, also update that name in the properties. This is required so the theme and administration portlets still function. The available mappings are defined as follows:

     # Internal key           unique name
