Published Release Notes

DCO and PMF integration is unavailable

DCO and PMF integration functionality is not available in this release. Related project management controls have been removed from the following:

• System Settings landing page (Designer Studio > System > Settings > Project Management)
• Application Profile landing page (Designer Studio > Application > Profile > Specifications)
• Add/Edit Specification dialog

Restricted SMA access

System Management Application (SMA) remote connections are not supported on JBoss EAP 6.x. This means SMA users may only monitor locally connected systems. Ensure that the "Local JVM Connection..." option is selected when configuring PRPC nodes:

Stages and Steps may not appear as expected

There are some unique configurations of the newly enhanced pxDisplayStages gadget that can lead to case type "Stages and Steps" appearing more than once or not at all.  In the event that your application experiences one of these scenarios, the recommended work around is to relocate the gadget:

• Add pxDisplayStages to the pyCaseContainer section (or equivalent)
• Remove pxDisplayStages from the pyCaseActionArea section (or equivalent).

Text Input control number type does not validate

When a Text Input control type is set to "Number" in the Presentation tab:

• Validation does not trigger and the field is blanked out when a user submits the form.
• If a value other than a number is entered, the browser sends an empty value, and the value is not validated.
• In the Clipboard, the field value displays as empty.
• If the field is required, the validation displays.

This issue occurs when using both the Chrome and Safari web browsers, and is a result of browser behavior for the HTML5 type=“number”. To fix this issue when using these browsers, do not use the "Number" type in Presentation tab of a Text Input control. Instead, the type should be set to "Text".

Unclear error message when saving shared class instance in tenant layer

If you attempt to save a shared class instance from the tenant layer, Pega 7 displays this message:

This record has x errors. Save Failed: There was a problem saving an instance of class: Error Code: <none> SQL State: <none> Message: <none>

You cannot save a shared instance from the tenant layer if that instance cannot be overridden.

No support for Android versions earlier than 4.4 on mobile devices

Pega^® Platform dynamic layouts by default now use Flexbox-based rendering. As a result, mobile devices running on Android versions earlier than 4.4 are not supported in Pega Platform. Such devices cannot render correctly with Flexbox because the Pega Mobile Client includes the default stock browser on the Android operating system.

Multiple notifications are delivered for the same Pulse post

When a user posts a Pulse comment, the users who subscribe to the activity feed might receive more than one notification if the posted comment triggers several notification rules.

For example, when a user posts a comment on a case that he or she follows, any response to the comment can result in the following notifications:

• Notification when a new comment is posted on the followed case (triggers the pyAddPulsePost notification definition)
• Notification when a comment is a response to the user’s original post (triggers the pyAddPulsePost notification definition)
• Notification when the user is mentioned in the comment (triggers the pyAddUserMentionedPost notification definition)

Surveys are not compatible with prior versions of the UI Kit

Now that survey functionality is available in the Pega-Survey ruleset, some rules are no longer compatible with prior versions of the UI Kit. To ensure that your surveys are rendered correctly, update your Application form to include version 09.01 of the UI Kit.

If you cannot change the version of the UI Kit, you can override the Work-.pyCaseActionArea section in your application and update it to use the same configuration as the section in version 09.01 of the UI Kit.

Surveys do not display navigation links

The navigation links, or bread crumbs, in a survey are not displayed when you configure a survey to run as a screen flow. To resolve this issue, override the Work-.pyCaseActionArea section in your application, and then update that section to include the Work-.ProcessSteps_ScreenFlow section.

Surveys do not display questions with custom templates

Because many rules have been refactored or renamed in the Pega-Survey ruleset, questions that use custom templates are not displayed in surveys. To resolve this issue, create a new version of the applicable sections from the Embed-PegaQ-Results-Question class in your application, and then update the sections to include your custom content and logic.
