Steps to Reproduce

Upgrade Project Management Framework (PMF) to Pega Agile Studio 7.3.1.
Integrate Pega Development Environment with Agile Studio.
Use the Agile Workbench to create, update, or view User Stories, Bugs, and Feedback.

Root Cause

A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules.

This is a known issue for Agile workbench and Agile Studio Integration. For integration, a valid AgileStudio ID is required in the Operator Preference.
In the User portal, an option to set the Operator Preference does not exist. Hence, the Operator Preference must be set by logging in to Designer Studio by that Operator ID.

Resolution

Perform the following local-change:

Follow the below steps to create an activity to set the operator preference for those users who cannot access Designer Studio.

1. Create an activity (for example: @baseclass.SetOperatorPreference) in the application ruleset.

2. Add three steps as in the above image.
3. In Step1,

Use Obj-Open method.
Set OpenClass value to Data-Admin-Operator-ID.
Set .pyUserIdentifier PropertyName to Param.OperatorID

4. In Step2, use Property-Set method.

Set .pyPreferences.pyToolsPrefs.pyPMFUserID to param.AgileStudioID

5. In Step3, use Obj-Save method and enable WriteNow.

In the Parameters tab of the activity, set the following values:

Name: OperatorID
Data type: String
Required: Yes
In/Out: In

Name: AgileStudioID
Data type: String
Required: Yes
In/Out: In

In the Pages & Classes tab of the activity,

Set Page name to OpID
Set Class to to Data-Admin-Operator-ID

6. Save the activity.
7. Run the activity for all the non-developer users who need to set the Agile Studio preference ID.

In the Run window,

For OperatorID, provide the Pega operator ID
For AgileStudioID, provide AgileStudio operator ID
