color=#0000ff size=2>Start by turning on the UWL Support option - it's one of
the parameters in the UWL iview configuration in the Portal content directory.
This will show a bunch of information below each item so you can confirm
technical details of the item. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>externalObjectId may not be the best choice - you can also
create your own custom attributes and refer to them in the same manner..... i.e.
use the <ItemType> and <Attributes> tag to set up custom attributes,
and then refer to them in your dynamic parameter as
${item.myattributeid}</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Hi,</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Courier New"
size=2> I'm launching a BSP iView using a dynamic
parameter:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><Property name="DynamicParameter"
value="ID=${item.externalObjectID}" /></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>When I launch these items in the UWL the
${item.externalObjectID} is incorrectly returned in the URL as null. Where
can I go to troubleshoot this? I can see that the object of the task is
instanciated and shows up in _WI_OBJECT_ID in the container.</FONT></P>
