Direct link to a RO that is published, but not associated with an SO

Eric_Krasner

Is this possible?  I have been able to link to the RO when associated to an SO, but not sure if it is possible to do so without the association.  And if it is possible, how would I determine the correct link?

Its possible just not supported as could easily change in a future release.

In current versions the URLs are fashioned in the below format: PORTALURL/SC/ServiceCatalog/RequestOffering/RequestOffering-ID,ServiceOffering-ID

Example, I have a request offering called "test 1" not attached to a service offering. I can obtain the needed ID running the below SQL 

SELECT  [Id] ,[Title]
  FROM [ServiceManagement].[dbo].[RequestOffering]

  SELECT  [Id] ,[Title]
  FROM [ServiceManagement].[dbo].[ServiceOffering]

Picking a Service Offering GUID (even though its not attached), the below page will load:
http://sm.contoso.com/ServiceCatalog/RequestOffering/13374D2B-6363-B4E8-5E0A-4F312186BACC,f0ec528a-3478-9962-2504-8de407195679

A RO MUST be attached to a Published SO for it to be part of the Service Catalog.
