End of support for form-based rule forms in Pega 7.1.9
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
Rule forms that are configured to render as forms are no longer supported in Designer Studio or end-user applications. Form-based configurations are found on custom rule types that were created in earlier versions of Pega 7 and are characterized by pop-up windows that are rendered externally from Designer Studio.
Reconfigure Pega 7 applications that use such rule forms by using standard harnesses and sections.
- Open the class form.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Select
Harnessfrom the menu. - Create a new harness and new sections that implement the logic of the custom rule, using standard user interface layouts and controls.
Migrating custom rule forms to harnesses and sections offers the following benefits:
- User interfaces become HTML5 WC3 compatible and responsive to different screen sizes.
- User interfaces become cross-browser compatible, rendered consistently in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and recent versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
- Rendering performance on modern browsers is dramatically improved.
- User interface pop-up behavior is eliminated; all windows are rendered inside Designer Studio and end-user applications.
Failed Robotic Assignments work queue type changed to Standard
Valid from Pega Version 8.5
The default Failed Robotic Assignments work queue type is now Standard. In previous releases, the default type was Robotic. For usage information, see Configuring a work queue for robotic automation.
Upgrade impact
After upgrading to Pega Platform 8.5 and later, you cannot save case types in which you configure the Queue for robot smart shape to route new assignments to the Failed Robotic Assignments work queue. Existing assignments that you routed to the Failed Robotic Assignments work queue are not affected.
How do I update my application to be compatible with this change?
As a best practice, do not use the Failed Robotic Assignments work queue in your custom implementations. Instead, configure the Queue for robot smart shape to route new assignments to a Robotic work queue. When possible, update existing case types to use the robotic work queues that you created in your application.
