Issue
Explore Data screen does not load when it is set as the default screen in the UI KIT.
Symptoms and Impact
The Explore Data page remains non-functional when the portal loads. This prevents users from accessing data exploration features.
Steps to reproduce
Follow the steps listed below in a blended UI application, where the base application is UI KIT and it is blended to use Constellation.
- Add Explore Data as the default harness when the portal is launched
- Open the portal
- Inside the dynamic container, use a harness, pzDataExplorer
- Observe that there is no option to define the pre activity
- At runtime, launch the portal
Explore Data harness does not load and blank screen displays.
Root Cause
This issue occurs due to product design limitation.
The Dynamic Container framework supports only Data Transforms for initialization and does not automatically invoke activities like pzSetupExplorerViewPage required by the Explore Data screen, resulting in incomplete setup and non-functional UI.
Solution
The pzDataExplorer(Explore Data) harness can be configured as the default landing page within the Dynamic Container; however, the required initialization activity pzSetupExplorerViewPage cannot be automatically invoked in this context, as the Dynamic Container only supports Data Transforms for initialization, not activities.
Therefore, there is currently no supported mechanism to have the Explore Data page launch as a fully functional default screen when the portal loads. There is no workaround or alternative configuration that would fully replicate the desired behavior within the current product capabilities.
