Enabling the Progressive Web Application screens
Smart IT 20.08 introduces revamped screens for work orders and incidents that are delivered by using the Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology. The PWA technology converts the Remedy Mid Tier view to a modern view that is customizable and extensible.
You can access the PWA screens for work orders and incidents from the Smart IT Universal Client (UC). PWA screens are not supported on mobile devices.
By default, the Smart IT screens are displayed for work orders and incidents. If your organization has opted for this feature, you can enable the PWA screens for work orders and incidents.
For more information, see
Progressive web application development
(Remedy AR System documentation).
Before you begin
Make sure that you have:
- Upgraded to the 20.08 version of Remedy AR System and Smart IT.
Set the following parameters:
Parameter name Location Value arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurlsComponent Type: arsystem.bmc.arsys.midtier
Component Name: arsystem.bmc.arsys.midtier-DockerMTClusterUserCentralized configuration
(when the mid tier is configured with Centralized configuration)- http://SmartITServer:portNumber
- <Smart IT base URL>
Example: https://test-smartit.dsmlab.bmc.com/
Config.properties file located in <MidtierInstallDirectory>\WEB-INF\classes folder (when the mid tier is configured without Centralized configuration) mid_tier.base.urlComponent Type: com.bmc.arsys.smartit
Component Name: *Centralized configuration - http://midTierServer:portNumber

Important
- If you enable the
arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurls,mid_tier.base.url, andEnable-Progressive-Viewsparameters by using Centralized configuration, a restart of mid tier is not needed. The updates are reflected in a few minutes.
If you make change any parameters in the config.properties file, you must restart the mid tier. - If the https access for mid tier requires the port number, include it in the
mid_tier.base.urlparameter. Otherwise, you need not provide the port number. - To allow a cross-launch, the domains of mid tier and Smart IT must match. The domains should either be host names or be fully qualified.

Comments
Hi, Can you double check if this should be com.bmc.arysys.server.shared or com.bmc.arsys.smartit?
Thank you for the query, Stuart.
As you can see in the screenshot, the component type is com.bmc.arsys.server.shared.
Thanks,
Dhanya
The component name should be corrected to com.bmc.arsys.server.shared and not com.bmc.arysys.server.shared
Thank you for the feedback, Kuldeep.
I have corrected the typo.

Dhanya
Hello Stuart,
I am sorry that I missed this typo. I have corrected it now.

Midtier URL and SmartIT URL should be same domain
Thank you for the feedback, Aryak.
This information is present in the mid_tier.base.url parameter description:
If the https access for mid tier requires the port number, include it in the mid_tier.base.url parameter. Otherwise, you need not provide the port number. Also, to allow a cross-launch, the domains of mid tier and Smart IT must match. The domains should either be host names or be fully qualified.
Hope this is okay.
Thanks,
Dhanya
