I have a composite application that was created with R 8.0. After I upgrade my client to R 8.5. The default page navigator (on the left side) is no longer visitable. Anyone know what is the problem and how to get it back. Thanks in advance.

Problem solved - the left site pane was closed.

There are two properties that control the default navigator:
Property
Description
com.ibm.rcp.useNavigator
Whether to display the out of the box navigator on all pages (including hidden pages). Hidden pages are not displayed in the navigator. If true, all pages of the application are opened in the same tab. If set to ‘false’ on a hidden page, the out of the box navigator will not be displayed (the hidden page is still opened in the same tab as the other application pages).
com.ibm.rcp.navigationModel
When the com.ibm.rcp.useNavigator=true, and this property is set to ‘custom’, the built in navigator is not displayed. It basically overwrites com.ibm.rcp.Navigator. In this case it is up to the application to provide the navigation mechanism; all application pages that are opened are displayed under the same tab.
I think you want to set the userNavigator to true to display the navigator and make sure the navigationModel is blank.
