Submitting the action request content in encrypted form

Updated on July 1, 2021

An alternate to registering the data transform is to encrypt the submitted action request content. The developer can write code in a non-auto section or html fragment and include it in the harness

To ensure the action request content is submitted in encrypted form, complete the following procedure:

  1. Use the rule utility function pega_rules_utilities.pzEncryptURLActionString to encrypt the action. This function requires parameters in the following format: pega_rules_utilities.pzEncryptURLActionString(tools, "Thread",pyActivity=activityName¶m1=value1¶m2=value2")
    For example: pega_rules_utilities.pzEncryptURLActionString(tools, "Thread", pyActivity=pzRunActionWrapper&pzDataTransform=setStockPriceDT")
  2. Enter a code snippet.
    For example: Examples of a specific and a generic code snippet are shown below:
    • generic code snippet: pega_rules_utilities.pzEncryptURLActionString(tools, "Thread", "pyActivity=activityName¶m1=value1¶m2=value2")
    • specific code snippet: pega_rules_utilities.pzEncryptURLActionString(tools, "Thread", "pyActivity=pzRunActionWrapper&pzDataTransform=setStockPriceDT")
  3. Click Save.
For example:

Example from @baseclass.SpellCheckerMoreDialog:

var oSafeUrl= SafeURL_createFromURL("<%tools.appendstring(pega_rules_utilities.pzEncryptURLActionString(tools, "Thread", "pyActivity=Data-SpellChecker.Spellcheck"));%>");
var strSpellCheckXML = httpRequestAsynch(oSafeUrl.toURL(), strPost, 50, 100);
