Based on the log, I am going to assume that you are not on Pega Infinity and are on a 7.x version of the platform.

Given this, the log is telling you the problem.  When rules were not offline enabled until 8.1.  You need to use boolean expressions in place of the When rules.

If you are on 8.x, then you have a packaging issue and further investigation will be required.  I am fairly certain thought that you are trying to execute When rules on a 7.x version and this is not supported.

Hope this helps!

Great response!

Perhaps you have pointed out the issue we are having..

However, I will provide you with the following details:

  • Native iOS app -> More -> System info ->
    • Pega Mobile Client 7.4.1.3.3
    • Pega Platform 8.1.2

Based on that information, When rules should be offline enabled.

If the When rules are not referenced DIRECTLY in the UI, then they need to be white listed.  This is something else that would explain why the rule is not found in the cache.

The error message is a little strange given that it states the When rule is not supported on the client but then also states that the When rule was not found in the cache, indicating that it was not packaged.  Have you interrogated the mobile client cache using Xcode yet?  Have you check the client story to see if the When rules are found?  These would be my next steps if you find that the When rules are directly called in the UI or are, in fact, being whitelisted.

You might also try whitelisting them even if they are called in the UI.  While you should not have to, in previous versions, I recall examples of having to do this because what we assumed was UI was not.

Hope this helps!

Update (1):

Whitelisting results in an UI with random icons. Looks indeed more like a cache issue.

Update (2):

Adding the when-rules to pyCustomAppCache results in the same issue stated above.

 

 

Update (3):

Last update for this comment.

I switched from the manager portal (pyCaseManager7) to the case worker portal (pyCaseWorker) in de access group.

Ofcourse, the dashboard is not available in this portal OOTB.

However, the worklist is available and it works fine, no blank screen..  (why?)

As stated in https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v81/procomhelpmain.htm#offline/concepts/off-offline-capability-con.htm it's always best to start your offline-enabled application by reusing Case Worker portal, and then adjusting it to your needs. The Case Manager portal, on the other hand, uses several features that are not yet supported in offline-enabled applications - thus you get the errors.

Great answer!

  • Do you have an overview which features of the dashboard are supported ATM?
  • Would you suggest rebuilding the dashboard or breaking down the OOTB version?

I concur with Radek.  After I responded last night, I realized you were trying to render a dashboard.  Typically, this would not be done with a hybrid app as hybrid apps are created specifically for work that needs to be completed remotely with the possibility of no connectivity.  Dashboards are usually designed with reports and reports typically need access to the database.  This is not possible when you are offline.

Two things to keep in mind when designing:

1.  Does my design require any interaction with the server other than sync?  If the answer is yes, you must re-design.  All data must be packaged, therefore, report definitions will run at time of packaging and that is all.  They cannot run when disconnected because they require the database and this is on server.

2.  An offline application must be designed to run offline even if parts of it will run online as well.  For example, if your case is offline enabled but can also be run online, you must realize that the code that runs will always include any custom javascript you have written, even if you are running connected at the time.

Always begin with your offline design.  Trying to adapt an online design is fraught with danger as there will be parts of the design that do not consider offline and these parts will not always be obvious.

In addition, after reviewing your previous response, note that when you white listed some when rules, the display changed.  This is indicating that there were some white listing issues, but the real issue here is that the design you are using, that of the Case Manager, is not built with offline in mind, so you are better off thinking about what functionality is actually required offline and then determine where that functionality is a challenge because you are not connected.

Hope this helps!
