It should have nothing to do with the ARS server. This Run Process Command is
executed in the client (browser or an IE type component in the User Tool) and
not on the server.
It sounds like a DNS alias or Domain Search type of issue on the client machine
To debug I would just open IE and try both the short and FQDN format of the URL
file://<SERVER.FQDN>/Network/ChangeTemplates
file://<SERVER>/Network/ChangeTemplates

Tauf,
No, FQDN is in my ar.cfg; maybe it is my environment. It would be interesting
to know if others need to fully qualify or not.
Thank you,

That may be because you are missing the Domain-Name variable in your ar.cfg?

Thank you everyone that responded. We were all very close; what we missed was
to fully qualify the server. The Active Link Run process is as follows:
PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL file://<SERVER.FQDN>/Network/ChangeTemplates
BTW - this run works for both WUT & Mid-Tier.

Need to include the complete and well-formed URL including the http in order
for it to work. Partial URL's may work in the client but not through the
mid-tier (pg 275 -7.6 Workflow Objects Guide but should be the same on 8.1)
PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL http://myserver/network/changetemplates/mypage.html

Have you tried PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL new \\<SERVER>\Network\ChangeTemplates
?

Windows 2008 r2
Oracle 11g
ARS 8.1
ITSM 8.1
We have a need to open Windows Explorer from a CHG ticket so that the user has
access to all of the change documents, i.e.Scope, PMP, BCA templates.
Back in the WUT days, I would have added a button and created an Active Link
with a Run process to:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe \\<SERVER>\Network\ChangeTemplates
Works great from the WUT. Not so with the Mid-Tier. I'v tried using
$PROCESS$ C:\Windows\explorer.exe \\<SERVER>\Network\ChangeTemplates and
PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL C:\Windows\explorer.exe
\\<SERVER>\Network\ChangeTemplates
Any other ideas?
Thank you,
