Deprecated end user portals
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
The following portals are no longer be supported:
- SysAdmDD
- WorkUserDD
- WorkManagerDD
As a best practice, customize standard, supported portals rather than update your existing portals to include new features.
Limited access for end user portals
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
The following portals are only accessible from supported versions of Internet Explorer in “quirks” mode:
- WorkUser
- WorkManager
Nesting dynamic containers not supported
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
Do not include a section containing a dynamic container inside of another dynamic container. This configuration may cause performance issues resulting in unexpected behavior at runtime, and is not supported.
Naming pattern changed for file data sets
Valid from Pega Version 8.6.3
File data sets are used to import from and export data to a file repository. In case of data export, prior to version 8.6.3, the first file exported had the same file name that was provided by the user in the data set, and any subsequent file exported to the repository had a unique identifier appended to it. Starting in Pega Platform version 8.6.3, each file has a unique identifier, automatically generated based on the data flow node, thread ID, and timestamp.
Upgrade impact
If your process to consume output files expects files with a specific name, it may not be able to process the resulting files correctly.
What steps are required to update the application to be compatible with this change?
If you have configured the process before updating to Pega Platform version 8.6.3, but the exported files are no longer recognized by downstream processing logic after the upgrade, ensure that the downstream tool is configured to recognize the files by a pattern rather than the full name. For example, when referring to files exported to the repository, use the * character to indicate a pattern instead of using the full file name. For example, use Export*.csv to refer to the files.
