Error Messages

Not Applicable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use a IAC Gadget with PegaA parameter of display and a PegaA_harness parameter value that is an end user portal harness.

Example:

<div id="PegaContent" style="overflow:auto;"
     PegaGadget="showCompPortal"
     PegaResize="stretch"
     PegaA="display"
     PegaA_harnessName="User"
     PegaA_pzPrimaryPage="pyPortal"
     PegaDefer="false">
</div>

2. Open the portal thorugh IAC.
3. Click on the Listview to open a workitem.

Root Cause

When displaying a full end user portal with IAC the portal has to be initialized properly via Data-Portal.ShowDesktop. The proper way to accomplish this step is to use a gadget that calls Data-Portal.ShowDesktop.

<div id="PegaContent" style="overflow:auto"
    PegaGadget="showCompPortal"
    PegaResize="stretch"
    PegaA="OpenWorkByURL"
    PegaA_query="pyActivity=Data-Portal.ShowDesktop"
    PegaDefer="false"
</div>

This will initialize and load the users default portal. 

if the portal is dynamic this can be accomplished by calling a custom activity that sets pxThread.pxPortal and then calling Data-Portal.ShowDesktop:

<div id="PegaContent" style="overflow:auto"
    PegaGadget="showCompPortal"
    PegaResize="stretch"
    PegaA="OpenWorkByURL"
    PegaA_query="pyActivity=Data-Portal.ShowDynamicPortal"
    PegaDefer="false"
</div>

Resolution

The IAC gadget has been changed to call Data-Portal.ShowDesktop to properly initialize and display and end user portal.
