UTIL_GetMentoringUrl

If an asset, for example a Business Skills course, has mentoring enabled, this web service returns a launch URL that you can use to access the mentoring service using the given asset as the session context. This is different than a mentoring asset that can be installed and launched like any other asset via the Asset Integration Service. For more information about Launch URLs, see Web Services and Launch URLs.

Note: If you are using OLSA with Privacy Support enabled, when invoking this web service, you must specify the login name of a user created using the UM_CreateUser web service, not the login name of a user created in SkillPort. This is because a hashed login name is required by this web service, and only OLSA (not SkillPort) creates this type of login name.

Inputs

• customerId - This refers to the sname provided by SkillSoft. String identifies the customer of OLSA environment.
• userName - The name of the user.
• assetId - Unique identifier for asset within the database. Use the assettype and the nativeid for purposes of identifying and launching the asset. for assets that have mentoring enabled.

Outputs

• A URL that will launch the mentoring screen using the specified asset and user at its session context.
