External web component integration
Hi,
We have a requirement in our project to embed an external web application into the Pega portal. We have several links on a page[ section/harness] clicking which will open different pages of the external application in the same Harness. I have gone through the PDN articles regarding embedding external web component but it doesn't give the correct way of configuring the same. I am using Pega PRPC v 8.3.3. What I would like to understand is where I can provide the link (URL) to the web application and how that can be integrated to our Pega application.
Also want to to understand how this works at a high level as I am not sure I fully understand the working of the same internally. Appreciate any help in this regards.

Hi,
I consider that you want to embed external webpages inside Pega Portal.
To embed the webpage into another, we can use Iframe HTML tags.
<iframe src="WEBPAGE_URL" width="100%" height="300" style="border:none;">
</iframe>
You can paste those code in Non-Autogenerated HTML section and embed in the required harness.
I hope it helps you! Good Luck!

Thanks but it does not use the OOTB embed Web component that Pega has provided in 8.3.3. I understand that a custom solution is feasible but we would like to go using OOTB components.

We looked into this - but instructions are not at all clear. Where should I put my link ( external link) - which section? Can you please confirm what steps to perform ?

I'm researching a similar requirement, and the given OOTB control instructions are indeed not clear.
we can accomplish it using a custom section with iFrame tags, but I'd like to explore the OOTB option first.
did you end up implementing using the OOTB control ? and if so, could you shed some light on the steps to do so ?

@Sari.alatif - No the documentation was supposed to be clear in 8.6 but I don't think that is the case yet. Not been able to set it up.
