Hi all,

in PEGA 8.5.4 Cloud Platform, Client asked to collect data on a temp context starting from Portal dashboard and, after all required data are collected, to create a new work object. Since temporary cases feature is deprecated, I moved to a custom solution composed by:

1) A new harness launched by user's portal on click of a navigation menu item.

2) The harness is based on an editable data page where all data are temporary stored.

3) On click of a "Create case" button, a custom js function is launched (see attachments for js code): this function validates all required data and, if validation succeeds, invokes a custom activity to create a new work object and then opens the first assignment.

4) Add custom js style sheet to pega_ui_harness_deferred static bundle.

I used similar configurations to launch activities from js also in other situations with lower PEGA versions and it worked properly. In 8.5.4 it works fine in dev environment, but when I move to a pre-production environment the script doesn't work (unless i use an admin user from Dev Studio). In the browser console I find the message: "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()". I tried to encrypt URL and also supposed the problem could be "Require authentication to run" flag into activity (since I used some non-SSO logged test users), but the problem still exists.

Referring to some documentation I found on PDN, the problem is in the pyBlockUnregisteredRequests when rule that, staring from 8.5.4 version, checks if current environment level is lower than 4 (in lower versions it was evaluating to "Never"). Effectively, performing a test with pyBlockUnregisteredRequests evaluating to never the function works as expected.

Does anyone know another way to let it work without modifying pyBlockUnregisteredRequests when?

Thank you for your support,

Danilo
