Harness Launch Removes pyWorkPage
After migrating from 7.3 to 8.1, in work class section on click of a button a Harness is being launched when the case is open. The Harness is being launched using a different page of the same work class. However in doing so it is being observed that it removes pyWorkPage.
This issue is only happening in Pega 8. It is working fine in 7.
How to resolve this? When i change the page context of Harness to pyWorkPage, the issue is not observed but we cannot do this in actual?

Accepted Solution
According to the SR the resolution is:
Perform the following local-change: pyRetainPage has been set to "true"
Hope that helps!

Found the trigger point of the problem. doUIAction Activity (Pega 8) at step 10 is removing additional pages which includes pyWorkPage. This is not happening in Pega 7 though even that also has the similar step. Though there is slight change in the code of step "Remove Additional Pages" in doUIAction (08-01-01,07-33-10). However even if I copy the code from version 7, the issue persists. Only when that particular step (10) is commented, the issue gets resolved.
Should we raise an SR for this?
This behavior seems to occur only when using a portal (e.g. 'Launch web interface' from Dev Studio). If you open your case directly in Dev Studio the behavior is not observed.
On my project we have a workaround for this.
As mentioned by OP the problem occurs in data transform @baseclass.doUIAction at a step with comment: Remove additional pages for No-Frame Case.
In Pega 8.1 this occurs at step 10; in Pega 8.2 it occurs at step 11.
In Pega 8.2 the When condition for this step looks like this:
(@pzIsPortalSDM()==true || param.isDCSPA == true ) && param.isMDC != "true"
The workaround is for each developer to do a private checkout on this rule and remove the first logical condition from this When condition so that it looks like this:
param.isDCSPA == true && param.isMDC != "true"
Save it and refresh your portal screen and you will be able to open the clipboard tool and see pyWorkPage.
I have used this workaround in both 8.2 and in 8.1.
Occasionally the workaround will break a test case: you will have to remove the private checkout to enable the test case to pass.
Hello,
We're having the same issue on Pega 8.2.1 but with the newAssignPage page, on Production (so the private checkout "solution" is not an option).
Did you have any news on how to solve this ?
I created SR-D26136 in parallel, I'll update you if I have any useful news
