Word merge support with Microsoft Silverlight plug-in
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.3
PRPC features that integrate with the Word merge capability are now cross-browser. ActiveX controls (which are only compatible with IE) have been replaced with Microsoft Silverlight. This plug-in must be downloaded separately from Microsoft, as it is not shipped with PRPC.
Some common PRPC features affected by this change include the Application Document Wizard, App Profile, Specifications Landing Page, Specification form, and Case Type Landing Page.
Prior to using these features, Users of PRPC 7.1.3 need to set up their client system(s) as follows:
1. Install Silverlight plug-in
Follow the PRPC prompt to install Silverlight when you attempt to use the Word merge feature:
Or download package directly: www.microsoft.com/silverlight/
2. Install PRPC prerequisites
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browsers automatically detect the need for PRPC prerequisites and will prompt for install:
Non-IE browsers will load a pop-up window when the user attempts to use the Word merge feature. Use the link to manually download PRPC prerequisites:
Extract the .zip file, execute setup.exe and follow the install wizard:
Administrators setting up multiple clients at once may refer to the pzSLpreReqs.cab available in the PRPC 7.1.3 resource kit.
3. Restart browser
Log out of PRPC, close all open sessions and restart your browser.
The PRPC feature integrated with Word merge is now ready for use; Silverlight prompts are no longer displayed.
4. Troubleshooting
Silverlight installation requires access to your file system and a registry setting update to “trust” the associated Verisign certificate. Contact your administrator if you encounter any security or permission errors during this process.
See the PRPC Developer Help for more information on browser setup requirements.
