Portal Push

Portlets can be automatically updated by using the Portal Push functionality. If an updated is done in one portlet, a push event can trigger updates to connected portlets. A portal push rest connector must be configured to access this functionality.

Studio - Workflow

  1. Create a table element with two columns (use the exact column names):

    • PortletInternalName

    • Action

  2. In the PortletInternalName column enter the internal names of the portlets that are to be refreshed

  3. In the Action column enter REFRESH

  4. Create a Machine step to trigger the push event, using the PortalPush connector.

Create PortalPush Rest Connector

1. Log on to Flow Studio, go to Environment - Connectors and click Add

2. Set up:

  • Name = The name of the connector

  • Type = Rest Service

  • Base address = XX (in example: http://localhost/Trunk.NovaCura.Portal.Web/api)

  • Encoding for url parameters = Unicode (UTF-8)

  • Cache metadata = No

  • Save

3. Click on REST connector project - EDIT 4. Set up:

  • Connector name = XX (in example: DefaultConnectorName)

  • Connector description = the description of the connector

            {"PortletInternalName":"pprv1","Action":"REFRESH"}
        ]
    }

You can change one of the new created model name from NEWMODEL to for example PUSHMODEL
