Content Reference (CREF) with link to external site

Navigate to PeopleTools >
Portal > Structure and Content. Chose the folder you would like your
link to be in or you can add a new folder just for this new link if
you'd like.

Now scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Add Content Reference".

Name: Add what ever name you would like here. Users will not see this link.
Label: This will end up being the link the users will click on.
Long Description: Long desc for your link - this will show just below your actual link.
Usage Type: Target
No Template Check Box: Make sure you CHECK this one so the portal template wont wrap around your page.

URL Information

URL Type: Non-PeopleSoft URL
Portal URL: The website you are trying to open (example: http://www.CompShack.com) :)

Now in the Content Reference Attributes of the Content Ref Administration page add the following to get your page to open in a new window:

Name: NAVNEWWIN
Label: You can leave this one blank
Attribute value: true
Translate Check Box: Make sure this is UNCHECKED

Hi - I tried using the external link to access query outside query manager.

So in the URL type i used Peoplesoft Generic URL and in the Portal URL I gave q/?ICAction=ICQryNameURL=PUBLIC.ABC_UNAPPR_EXPENSE.

SO when i try to run this report it kicks me out of the online portal and errors out saying that please make sure Webserver and Appserver are up. Null

Please guide what am i doing wrong
