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.
Close button on a pop-up application update removed from App Studio
Valid from Pega Version 8.5
When you open an existing application that you created in previous releases without support for the Pega Express methodology, App Studio now displays a pop-up window to support Microjourneys™ without a Close button, to improve the usability of App Studio.
Upgrade impact
The UI automation script might require a change if the script mentions clicking on the Close button.
What steps are required to update the application to be compatible with this change?
If you have a UI automation script that uses the Close button, update the UI automation script to delete reference to clicking on the Close button.
