How to capture HAR Files in Retail Pro Prism for use in support cases

Sometimes an error occurs within Retail Pro Prism but more information about the web traffic is needed to diagnose the issue.

HAR files can be used by Support and Development teams to help trace an error that is occurring in Retail Pro Prism.

A HAR file shows errors and the contents of the messages being sent and received from the server. 

When possible, please submit a HAR file with your Webtac.

 

How to capture a HAR file

 

1: Open the Developer tools for RP Prism via the menu as shown below, or by pressing F12.
