Work Object opens in home tab instead of new tab

SA-12493

Summary



A work object from CPMInteractionPortal opens in Home tab whereas, it should open in a new tab.
 

Error Messages



Not Applicable

Steps to Reproduce



1. Open CPM 7 Interaction Portal.
2. Navigate to Manager Tools.
3.Select a link which is configured to open a work order using OpenWorkByURL method.


Root Cause



The WorkArea Gadget configured in the Portal is a Tabless Dynamic Container. The Tabs which are visible in the top are not actual Tab Headers, instead it is Recent Gadget configured to be displayed horizontally. So on clicking a link, a new document is opened but a new entry in recents is not added.
This is because OpenWorkByURL Action does not support Recents.

 

Resolution



This issue is resolved through the following local-change: 

Use pega.desktop.createNewWork function instead of openWorkByURL.
syntax: pega.desktop.createNewWork("AAAA","","BBBB")'  where AAAA is class name and BBBB is flow name.
