Known issues in Pega Customer Service 8.5

Pega Customer Service 8.5 has the following known issues.

IDTitle and DescriptionSuggested Resolution
BUG-654317When installing the Pega CRM JAR file on zOS server, an issue with a column in the database table causes an error and the installation fails to complete.

Run an alter statement manually in the zOS database. The alter statement will be similar to the following:

ALTER TABLE FCP00DBO:pca_work_service
ADD CONSTRAINT NT pca_work_service_pkey
PRIMARY KEY ("PZINSKEY")
@
This issue occurs starting in patch 8.5.3. For installations and updates, if using a Microsoft SQL Server database, a server setting might cause the import to fail when the import is 99% complete. This is due to an orphan instance that is not used in any functionality and does not cause any functional issues.If this happens, repeat the import and select the File on server option. The Import wizard will install the remaining instances.

If you change the option in the drop-down list, the other two reports are affected
