Look for the line targUrl = "http://localhost:7001/apex/f?p=100:1:::::P1_COMMENT_ID:" + argValue; Replace localhost with the correct ip of your machine. If you leave the value as localhost, then commentary dashboard will work when invoked using a browser from within the image. It will not work from a browser thats outside the image. Using the ip will ensure that it works from an outside browser as well, provided your image is accessible from the network. NOTE:- You need to edit the ip to the right value every time you reboot the image and your image gets a new ip. 4) Start WLS and opmn. Clear your browser cache. 5) In your webcat, go to the location /shared/4. Actionable Intelligence/Actions/Functional Examples/Commentary and Annotations. Following Actions need to be edited with the correct APEX listener settings a) Edit the Add a Comment action. Click on Options. Go to Action Results tab. In the Dialog text, edit the APEX listener and address to point to your image server ip. (Leave the port to 7001) b) Edit the Edit Comment action. Update the URL to point to your image server ip. NOTE:- You need to edit the ip to the right value every time you reboot the image and your image gets a new ip.
