Constellation debugging tools on a production environment.
Hi,
With Pega Constellation, there are some tools to aid in debugging, like PCore.getDataPageUtils(); to get a list of cached Data Pages and PCore.getDebugger().toggleXRay(true); to inspect components of the Constellation UI.
This is useful for most environments, but is there a way to make these tools unavailable for the production environment?

I hope this helps to disable the Developer tools in the Production instance. This will prevent users from executing those commands in Production.
- Log in to your Google Workspace account at admin.google.com.
- Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Settings > Users & Browsers.
- Find the OUs you want to apply this to and select.
- Search for Developer Tools.
- Click and Select the "Never allow the use of built-in developer tools" option from the dropdown and SAVE.
Open Microsoft Edge. Click the [Settings and more] icon ① in the top-right corner, then click [Settings]②. Click [Default browser]③. Under Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)④, you can select the setting you need.

Nice idea but we use Constellation for citizens to access information using an internet-facing portal. So we have no control over their desktop environments.
But in general good idea, thanks for sharing.

This could be a potential solution for web applications if you don't want the Production users to use the commands in the Developer console.
Thanks,

Hi Ramesh. That is correct. I don't want production users (especially ones that are not part of my organization) to find the debugging tools available.
So that is the question... can we somehow disable this?

@MariovdHUnfortunately, it is not possible to disable Xray debug. I will consider submitting a feedback item for the product team.

@JeanK Goodmorning. Just to make sure: do I need to submit a feedback item or are you considering submitting that yourself?
Kindest regards,
Mario.
