I installed platform 8.8. Created a new application built on CosmosReact 01.01. Created a new case type. Which portal do i launch to create a new case in Constellation UI? By default, i only see ‘Web portal’.

Set DSS

ConstellationDocumentService: https://prod.constellation.pega.io/c11n-doc
ConstellationSvcURL to https://prod.constellation.pega.io/c11n-appstatic
ConstellationPegaStaticURL to https://prod-cdn.constellation.pega.io

Use HTTPS

===

Updated (on 2/29/24): In Pega Infinity '23 and later version, the Constellation DSS values and other configurations could have changed. Please check the latest Pega documents. FYI - when I was doing a CLSA mission ('23) in Pega Academy, the MDC application was built on Constellation and had different DSS values.

===

Updated (on 8/13/24): Recently, I set up a Constellation application on Pega 24.1.1 and had to set the DSS below.

  • Set the Pega-UIEngine • ConstellationPegaStaticURL DSS to the following value. When I tried without this DSS, the Constellation WebPortal launched as blank screen.
https://release.constellation.pega.io

@Will Cho Did you set-up 8.8 in your local? How can we get the HTTPS for local installations. I have updated all the 3 DSS with the exact same values but I don’t see any UI is rendering.

Hi @Will Cho, i am using the VM instance for 8.8.0 Linux Lite VM from LinuxLite-Pega880.ova , have updated all the DSS as per your suggestion (Fig 1), however when launching the config view or trying to run a case from the App Studio i get the below error (Fig 2)

Error in UI Authoring

Call to fetch authoring records failed: AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403

Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Hello,

In order to use Constellation you must:

  • use HTTPS
  • ensure there is no underscore at the end of the application alias in the URL

This VM has a certificate for localhost only I guess

If you want to access it from your host machine you will have to create a self-signed certificate and replace the existing one on the VM

Attached is a certificate that will work for you as it covers the entire range: 192.168.0.XXX as well as 192.168.1.XXX

Copy the p12 file in /home/architect

Modifiy the /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml file accordingly

Install RootCA.crt on your own browser as a Root Certificate

Search for “cert” in your Chrome settings and click install in the windows pop up
