Context-specific documentation is not available in express mode
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
Help topics that are opened from express mode display content that is specific to Designer Studio.
If your system is dedicated to applications that are developed in express mode exclusively, and you do not need Designer Studio help topics, you can set the Online Help URL field on the System Settings landing page to: https://pdn.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_p7e/procomhelpmain.htm. Alternatively, you can view the contextual help system for Pega 7 Express in a separate browser tab.
Design-time limitations in express mode
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
Some limitations apply when you develop an enterprise application in express mode. At design time, some features are disabled or have limited options when you configure them in Designer Studio and switch to express mode. The use of these features does not restrict the run-time behavior of your application; however, you cannot change the configuration of these features unless you switch from express mode to Designer Studio.
For more information about each limitation and the recommended action to take, see the following information:

Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
A primary key constraint violation exception might occur in the following situation: you use JBoss EAP 6.4 and SQL Server 2012 with a JDBC 4 driver, and you use two or more file listeners or JMS MDB listeners with concurrent threads that create work objects that use multiple files. If a primary key constraint violation exception occurs in this situation, update the data source configuration file to set the jta parameter to true. For example, set <datasource jta="true" jndi-name-"java:/jdbc/PegaRULES>.
