pcf control using webapi offline

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dasch 9

I am getting the following error when using the webAPI in a pcf control when offline: UciError: API can be accessed only when offline is enabled.

 

I am making a call to retrieveMultipleRecords as follows:
this._context.webAPI.retrieveMultipleRecords

 

Is there something that I need to enable to get webAPI to work in a pcf control when offline?

    How--on earth--would you expect a retrievemultiple from the server to work when you aren't online?

    Because--offline profiles.

    In any case, it does work. Had an issue with the profile loading which was causing the error.
