Creation of new tab to display new work object in portal using snapstart URL
I am trying to achieve a functionality using snapstrart URL.
My requirement is 'To launch a portal using snapstart URL and to create a workobject and to display it in new tab in a user portal'.
I have tried with RedirectandRun activity and no luck with it. Could anyone suggest me with some idea to achieve this requirement?

Hi Praveen,
Thanks for you prompt reply. I have referred that mentioned link and that helps me to open a harness in a new tab. But I just want to know how to launch a portal and create a new tab to display my created workobject using snapstart URL.

Hello Sangeetha,
Configure the portal harness to display the created workobjects, now launch the portal harness by using the SNAPSTART url and verify the behavior.

Hi Praveen,
We were able to create a workobject but we are unable to launch a new tab. We have tried customising activity to pass params explicitly to create a new thread. We are able to view the dynamic continer Id generated in tracer but it has not created any threads. So can I ask you, Is there any API/explicit code available to create a new thread?

Hi,
We were able to achieve the requirement of "Creating of new tab to display new work object in portal using snapstart URL".
Step 1:
We used the below snapstart URL to invoke a custom activity "LaunchPortal"
http://serverX/prweb/[email protected]&Password=cGVnYQ==&pyActivity=SampleClass-Work.New
Application URL: http://serverX/prweb/PRServlet?
Operator ID: UserIdentifier= Proprietary information hidden
Password: Password=cGVnYQ== (default, no need to modify)
Activity to be invoked: pyActivity=SampleClass-Work.New (We created a new activity "LaunchPoral" in Data-Portal and used it here)
Step 2:
In the LaunchPortal activity, we called ShowDesktop activity in Step 1 and in Step 2 we set "SnapFlag" Property in pyDisplayHarness page to true.
Step 3:
We then created a new section "LaunchCase" in Data-Portal Class, and unchecked the Auto-Generated HTM check box in HTML tab and entered the below code in HTML Source,

<script>
var testFlag = "<%=tools.findPage("pyDisplayHarness").getProperty(".SnapFlag").getStringValue()%>";
if(testFlag=="true"){
pega.desktop.createNewWork("ClassName",1, "FlowName");
<%tools.findPage("pyDisplayHarness").getProperty(".SnapFlag").setValue("false");%>;
}
</script>
Step 4:
We added the "LaunchCase" section in the default tab of the portal and finally we checked the "Defer load content" checkbox in the default tab configuration.
