Scenario

Based on the business case, users may work with multiple customers simultaneously. Because the CRM application contains customer and account information, you must remember that users may open various customer windows to ensure data integrity.

According to the solution and architecture project documents, the solution requires that the applications log in automatically when called or when the project launches. Because the CRM is set to run when the project launches, but the ACME system is set to run only when called to do so, the applications require different configurations and automation adjustments to account for this.

Your assignment

In this part of the solution, complete the following tasks:

  • Set the UseKeys property of the CRMChild control.
  • Configure the CRM.os and ACMESystem.os to use the ASO settings based on the project documents in the following tables.
  • Add a global container, _GC_ACME, to the ACMESearchPrj and add the ASOManager component to it.
  • Adjust the CRM_E_frmLogin_Created and the ACME_P_SignIn automations to account for the ASO functionality.
CRM.os Configuration  
Property Value
AutoFill True
Login Control CRMbtnSignIn
Password Control CRMtxtPassword
UserName Control CRMtxtUserName
Application Key CRM
ACMESystem.os Configuration  
Property Value
AutoFill True
Login Control (Leave Blank)
Password Control ACMEtxtPassword
UserName Control ACMEtxtUserName
Application Key ACME

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
