Hello ckumari12,

The mirror page is generated for a (delivery / message) couple, so it is not unique for each recipient. It means, if you send 3 deliveries to a contact, this contact will get 3 mirror pages, one by delivery message he has been targeted for.


The mirror page is usually generated and kept for a duration defined in the delivery property (validity period). It takes resources on the web server (MTA or dedicated web server) so please take care, if you want to raise the default value, check the server resources.

If you need to do it programmatically (Javascript code), please use the GetMirrorURL method of nms:delivery, and do loops on the dedicated deliveries/messages to list them and act accordingly, for instance to write them in a file, doing a report or whatever you need.
MirrorPage is based on several fragments of messages, but it is easy to manage with the GetMirrorURL method, don't do it using the nms:MirrorPageInfo and nms:MirrorPageSearch, in my opinion.

If you know how to achieve forms (AC XML standard forms), you can manage to display a list of these URLs quite easily, by adding a tab to a delivery, or by doing a specific navtree node for displaying them. In that case, use this extract of nms:delivery xml form below, to implement your own form list convenient for your business case; the idea is to use the soapCall to GetMirrorURL and retrieve easily the information you are looking for:

        <input discardReadOnly="true" img="xtk:html.png" label="Afficher la page miroir de ce message..."
               prebuildSubForm="false" type="subFormLink" xpath=".">
          <form img="xtk:html.png" label="Contenu de la page miroir du message sélectionné">
            <enter>
              <soapCall name="GetMirrorURL" service="nms:delivery">
                <param exprIn="@id" type="int"/>
                <param exprIn="[/ignored/@selectedMessage]" type="string"/>
                <param type="string" xpathOut="/ignored/@mirrorPageUrl"/>
              </soapCall>
            </enter>
            <input type="browser" urlMode="true" xpath="/ignored/@mirrorPageUrl"/>
          </form>
        </input>
        <container type="visibleGroup" visibleIf="EV([mailParameters/@needMirrorPage], 'yes')">
          <static type="warning">Le chargement de la page miroir peut prendre un certain temps.</static>
        </container>

Thanks Jean for your response.

It seems I was not very clear in my question. I want to download mirror link of a delivery sent to multiple recipient. I have used GetMirrorURL method in my delivery.

For example.. I have sent an email to 10 recipients in an email delivery. So, I want to download these 10 unique mirror links sent to these 10 recipients. and later ,send SMS to these recipients with mirror link embedded into the SMS text.

Hi ckumaril,

Please read again my post of 16th Aug, I gave all indications to do it by Javascript (workflow or webApp) or SOAP call if you prefer to do it with an AC form, depending on your needs; and again on 17th Aug, about the Javascript code principle you have to write if you do by script.

On 16th Aug you wrote that you used GetMirrorURL method in your delivery, but I think you mislead a bit: in the delivery JS code that you gave today 28th Aug, it is the customization/personalisation block MirrorPageUrl (used to generate MirrorPage content on the fly), not the JS method that I was talking about.

Again, may you share your Javascript code of your workflow, if you have so ?

Regards
J-Serge


Jean-Serge,

Are you able to explain the GetMirrorURL method in depth?
