Published Release Notes

Extension attributes are not supported in PMML models

Models in the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) format version 4.3 that contain extension attributes with the x- prefix are not valid. These extension attributes are deprecated; you must use extension elements instead. In addition, if the output type of any output field in the model is set to FLOAT, change it to DOUBLE.

For more information, see PMML 4.3 - General Structure in the Data Mining Group documentation.

The Upload responses action is not supported for adaptive models with customized context

A default instance of the Adaptive Model rule contains five model identifiers (.pyIssue, .pyGroup, .pyName, .pyDirection, .pyChannel) that are used to partition adaptive models. If you add other identifiers in your Adaptive Model rule instance, you cannot upload responses to this instance with the Upload Responses wizard and the following error is displayed: The Flow Action post-processing activity pzUploadCSVFile failed: Cannot parse csv file.You can still train such adaptive models with data flows.

For more information, see Training adaptive models in bulk with data flows, Model context, and Uploading customer responses.

Use fast processing option does not work

The Use fast processing option on Connect REST and Service REST rule forms does not work unless you obtain the HFix-43000 hotfix from Global Customer Service.

Use the following data model guidelines when using fast processing:

• The JSON property names and the clipboard property names must match.
• The JSON tree structure and the clipboard tree structure must be similar.
• The scalar arrays in JSON must be mapped to the clipboard as page lists.
• Multi-dimensional arrays must be mapped into page lists of page lists with the same embedded property names.

​In addition, page groups, value groups, and Java objects are not supported by fast processing.

Upgrading Adaptive Decision Manager data mart tables might fail

Issue: Upgrade from 7.3 to 7.3.1 fails if the data contained in the pxInsName column of the PR_DATA_DM_ADMMART_PRED_FACT table is longer than 128 characters.

Reason: During the Pega Platform™ upgrade from 7.3 to 7.3.1, data in the Adaptive Decision Manager (ADM) data mart tables is migrated from the PR_DATA_DM_ADMMART_PRED_FACT table to the PR_DATA_DM_ADMMART_MDL_FACT table. In Pega 7.3.1, ADM uses only the PR_DATA_DM_ADMMART_MDL_FACT table where the pxInsName property can store values that are 128 characters long. In Pega Platform 7.3, the pxInsName property in the PR_DATA_DM_ADMMART_PRED_FACT table can store values that are 255 characters long. If the pxInsName property contains values that are longer that 128 characters, the upgrade fails.

Resolution: Issue an ALTER TABLE statement to change the pxInsName column size to 255 characters and resume the upgrade. For example:

ALTER TABLE rules.pr_data_dm_admmart_pred ALTER COLUMN pxInsName TYPE varchar(255);

For more information, see Adaptive Decision Manager data model.

For Microsoft SQL Server deployments, change settings to create data types in Integration Designer

For on-premises deployments that use Microsoft SQL Server, set the Pega-Reporting/reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery dynamic system setting to true. If you do not configure this setting, you might not be able to create a new data type in Integration Designer that uses Pega as the system of record. Configure the setting as follows:

• Owning ruleset: Pega-Reporting
• Setting purpose: reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery
• Value: true

For more information about configuring dynamic system settings, see Creating a dynamic system setting.

Data entered in a new harness is lost after a sync operation

If you create a case in an offline-enabled application and enter data in a new harness, this data is lost after you click Submit and the sync operation takes place. For more information, see Offline capability and Enabling offline support for cases.
