Inserting server URL macros into your channel URLs

You use URL macros by inserting them into some portion of the channel URL (Location field on the New Channel or Channel Properties page) when you define or modify a channel. M-Business Client HTTP request headers supply M-Business Server with the specific values with which to replace the URL macro in the channel when M-Business Sync Server receives an M-Business Client synchronization request.

Note

You must ensure that content exists for all the specific URLs that will result when users synchronize and URL macros in the channel URL are replaced by specific values.

Note

If you are able to generate content dynamically, it is more efficient to have a single process with a single URL which generates pages custom pages based on information in the M-Business Client HTTP request headers. See Using M-Business Client HTTP request headers to customize content and Using cookies to support personal channels.

Note

URLs entered in any M-Business Anywhere component must contain only forward slashes (/). The backslash character (\) in place of a forward slash will cause an error. When you are setting up directories in a Windows file system, where backslashes separate levels, be sure to change these characters to forward slashes if you copy parts of the file system path into a URL.
