ca service catalog 'undefined' alert window when "cancel" button is pressed

Products

• CA Service Catalog

Issue/Introduction

When we press the "Cancel" button on the Request detail, the spinning wheel appears for a moment and then an alert window with "undefined" text appears. 

how to get rid of the "undefined" alert window and how to create a cancel confirmation message?

Environment

Release : 17.3

Component : Catalog - Messages

Resolution

 

 

The Root Cause is that the new strings are missing from the custom locale files.

 

1) Compare and merge contents from USM_HOME\view\webapps\usm\locale\icusen\request\request_edit.xml  to USM_HOME\filestore\custom\locale\icusen\request\request_edit.xml

(same has to be done in other locales, "icusen" is a folder for English locale)

 

2) If we want to update the confirmation message, we can do so by modifying the "<request_updated>" tag content in request_edit.xml file.

 

3) Uncomment the line we have commented during the webex to remove the alert, in USM_HOME\view\webapps\usm\explorer\scripts\widgets\request-edit.js -> showUpdateAlert(), to get back the confirmation alert.

 

Note: 1) Do compare all the custom files with the product files and merge the content into custom files to avoid any unwanted behaviour whenever a patch/rollup is installed. 

          2) No restart of catalog service is required but browser cache should be cleared to get the new changes into effect for any JS file modification.
