Email attachment Open Authoring control fails to load
SA-10153
Summary
Opening an email attachment in a work object in Internet Explorer triggers the error message.
The application containing the work with the email attachment was migrated from a PRPC 6.x system to a Pega 7.1.6 system.
Error Messages
Open Authoring control failed to load
Steps to Reproduce
Using Internet Explorer, open an email attachment from a work object in your application.
Root Cause
Deprecated code
In PRPC 6.x releases, the Pega-provided method HTML-Show in the class Data-Corr-Email (present in Pega-EndUserUI) contains the tag <span id>, which is triggered when the OpenAuthoring control fails.
<span id="OpenAuthorFail" style="color:red">Error - Open Authoring Control has failed to load.</span>
This code was deprecated with the release of the Pega 7 Platform. The updated Pega-provided code does not have the <span id> tag.
Resolution
Perform the following local-change:
Remove the existing <span id> code and use the method HTML-Show in the class Data-Corr-Email in the ruleset Pega-EndUserUI:07-10-11.
