Unable to navigate back to Home from report
Hi,
I am facing the below issue after upgraded from version 8.4.0 to 8.5.1.
Statement: In the left navigation, application has couple of icons (Home, Reports…..etc) and each icon has some functionality. Home icon has "pega.desktop.activateDocument" OOTB function in the actions to come back to home if user navigated to different icons in the portal.
Issue: After upgrade, pega triggering SECU0019 security alert on click of Home icon and user is not able to come back to Home from reports. He will stuck in the reports and it is trigger error 403.
Cause: “pega.desktop.activateDocument” function causing the security alert and from 8.5.1 version onwards actions need to be registered (From the production only 30 actions are registered but not all event though using OOTB function). It will occur only in production level-5 and it won’t occurred in the below production level-5

The below are options to solve the above issue:
Need to use latest version (which is available in the COSMOS:02-01-01) of MainNavigation rule but all rules are final rules & navigation icons are loaded dynamically as per OOTB and is there any way to add or update navigation icons as per application implementation.
(OR)
Need to register “pega.desktop.activateDocument” function actions.
Could you please suggest any inputs on the above options OR can suggest if any other alternative's.

@YerasuReddy After the upgrade you need to bump Theme-Cosmos version as well to match the platform version. After changing the version to 2.0.0, you may change the icons using "Channel & Interfaces" screen. To do that for Home (for example) you need to:
- open "Channels & Interfaces" screen either in Dev Studio or App Studio
- choose appropriate channel; the default one is called "User Portal"
- in the "Content" tab, click on "Custom pages" menu item on the left
- choose "Home" harness (or any other, that you want to change the icon of)
- click on the button showing the current icon
- don't forget to save the changes

Hi @zarlm,
We have few actions on the Home icon and Is it possible to add actions by following above steps ?
Tried from Designer studio, just we can add icons but not actions in the incons.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Hey @YerasuReddy, you may achieve that with few steps:
First, you need to override MainNavigation rule from Theme-Cosmos 2.0 ruleset in your application and add custom _Home_ item. The icon may be defined using Image source.
In the Action tab, besides the custom actions you want to add, you need to configure two actions:
- Launch harness Home of class Data-Portal as a New document,
- Run the script "pega.u.d.skipToContent" with a parameter "main"
Finally you need to remove Home menu item from the Navigation menu in the channel as it's not needed anymore.
The only drawback of this approach is that you can't have the dynamic items and custom items interleaved. The custom ones may be placed above or below the set of dynamically generated.
Hope this helps.

Hi Michal,
Let me provide more info on the actual problem.
Current implementation:
We are overridden MainNavigation rule from COSMOS:01-01-01 (that time pega version is 8.3.0) and added custom icons with actions. Calling “pega.desktop.activateDocument” function and data page flushing actions in the Home icon actions tab.
Issue: After upgraded to Pega 8.5.1 from Pega 8.4.0 (we don’t have any issue in Pega 8.4.0 version), “pega.desktop.activateDocument” function triggering SECU0019 security alert once user click on the Home icon if user is navigated to different icon and user is not able to navigate back to Home dashabord.
GCS Team Suggestion:
Use MainNavigation rule from COSMOS:02-01-01 version and icons are loaded dynamically.
My question asked to GCS Team:
We are having some actions on the Home icon if we use MainNavigation rule from COSMOS:02-01-01 then how to add the action because icons are loaded dynamically.
I got response from you -> Customize MainNavigation rule from COSMOS:02-01-01 in the application and add Home icon with application actions and “pega.u.d.skipToContent” function & load harness.

Here main problem with function (even though using OOTB Function) which is causing security warning because actions are not registered. Now again need to use “pega.u.d.skipToContent” function as per your suggestion. If this function causes same security warning then again we are came to back initial stage.
Please check the above scenerion and suggest the same.
(Or)
Is there any way to register “pega.desktop.activateDocument” function actions to resolve security warning ?

Hi @YerasuReddy,
That explains everything. I have good news for you: you don't need to do anything besides removing the overrides. The auto-generated dynamic navigation should fulfill all the needs. It already constructs the navigation the correct way, which means: pega.desktop.activateDocument is not needed, pega.u.d.skipToContent is already embedded, the correct actions are already configured.
So, please remove MainNavigation override (and the application logo too) and configure the landing pages through Channels & Interfaces. You may change the icons for menu items along with the application logo and name (Configuration tab).

We need customize to MainNavigation rule because need to add data page flushing actions on click of Home icon and by using dynamic loading of icons not possible add actions.
As per your previous suggestion, need to save as MainNavigation rule and add data page flushing actions, "pega.u.d.skipToContent" function in the Home icon.
Just need to replace "pega.desktop.activateDocument" function by "pega.u.d.skipToContent" to solve the problem.
I will provide an update by Monday on the suggested approach.
Thanks,
Venkat Yerasu.

Hi Michal,
To do the the above suggested solution need environment with production level-5 and we will get environment today or tomorrow.

Hi zarlm,
Tried suggested approach and find the below details.
- Added 2 actions in the Home icon
- Launch harness Home of class Data-Portal as a New document or Replace current.
- Run the script "pega.u.d.skipToContent" with a parameter "main"
Behaviour after the above change.
- Navigated to reports or Team maintenance icons by using left navigation.
- Clicked on the Home icon to navigate back to dashboard but it is displayed blank screen as below. It is not navigate back to previous thread which was created initially and instead of that new thread is created with Tab name given in the Actions.
Please check and suggest.
Thanks,
Venkat Yerasu.
