    The Alert Engine doesn't build a lot of complex URLs; most are either static paths stored as LDAP properties or have no more than a few query arguments and just use placeholders for the argument values. If you have a lengthy and complex URL to build, such as one of the 1.5K-character links to Result History, use whatever means works well for you. For those, the engine does nothing; it sends a request to WebSite, which does the dirty work.

    Is the CUB (Cobalt Url Builder) used, or should it be used to build Cobalt urls?

    Alert Engine code is in the TFSWT server and is not part of any Cobalt Module. I did not find the Cobalt URL Builder in the project but am not sure if there are any specific reasons for not pulling in the infrastructure jars.
