Published Release Notes

Geolocation tracking requires browser permission

When the geolocation tracking feature is enabled, a Map it link appears next to each requestor entry in the audit trail. When you click a link for the first time, the browser displays a notification asking whether you want to permit tracking. Make your yes/no selection in the prompt. Do not click "X" to close it, as doing so may render the session unresponsive. Refresh the browser if necessary and make your selection.

Geolocation tracking Map it links do not appear

If geolocation tracking is enabled, the first time you create a case in the first browser session, the Map it links do not appear next to the initial audit trail entries. When you submit the first flow action, the links appear next to all subsequent entries.

Cannot copy final section rules in UI Kit ruleset

You cannot copy section rules in the UI Kit ruleset (UI-Kit-71) that start with pz or px (final rules in the base PRPC rulesets).

Instead, to customize these rules, use the Copy/Merge Ruleset tool, available at Designer Studio >System > Tools > Refactor Rulesets, to copy all rules from the UI Kit into your application ruleset. You can then check the section rules in and out.

User interface distortions in the Decision Manager portal

By default, the New Application wizard in Pega 7.1.6 configures new applications to include UI-Kit-7 in the list of application rulesets. This ruleset causes user interface distortions in the Decision Manager portal. Both applications created in previous maintenance level updates and applications created in Pega 7.1.6 that do not include the UI-Kit-7 dependency are not impacted by this known issue.

Workaround:

1. Open the application record.
2. In Application Rulesets, remove UI-Kit-7.
3. Save the application record.

User interface distortions in the Predictive Analytics Director portal

By default, the New Application wizard configures new applications to include UI-Kit-7 in the list of application rulesets. This ruleset causes user interface distortions in the Predictive Analytics Director portal. Applications created in maintenance level updates previous to Pega 7.1.6, and applications that do not include the UI-Kit-7 dependency, are not impacted by this known issue.

Workaround:

1. Open the application record.
2. In Application Rulesets, remove UI-Kit-7.
3. Save the application record.

Microsof Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) may display a script error when clicking a Help button

A script error may be displayed when clicking a Help button when script error notification is turned on in the browser. As a work around, uncheck the Display a notification about every script error option in the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.

System starts slowly after upgrade or update on IBM DB2 for z/OS

Additional tables are added to upgraded and updated systems. If your system starts up very slowly after an upgrade or update, the database statistics on these new tables might not have generated correctly. To correct this issue and improve performance, your database administrator needs to manually rebuild the statistics for all tables in the rules schema.

Clustering equal to none might cause errors

Some Pega 7 Platform features might not work when theidentification/cluster/protocolsetting in the prconfig.xml file is set to none. Some features that might not work are remote tracing and management actions on the node from the Requestor Management and Agent Management landing pages. Setting the clustering protocol to none is not recommended and will not be supported in a future Pega 7 Platform release.

Disregard this startup error for Oracle Weblogic deployments

If you install, upgrade, or update your Oracle Weblogic application server to Pega 7.2.2, disregard the error stack that begins with text similar to the following:

ERROR - WebLogic Server 12.1.3.0.0 Wed May 21 18:53:34 PDT 2014 1604337 Oracle WebLogic Server Module Dependencies 12.1 Tue Mar 11 15:35:15 MDT 2014 WebLogic Jersey Server Integration 3.0 Fri Feb 21 10:55:11 UTC 2014 must use JDK 1.8+ with WebSocket
2016-11-07 06:13:01,690 [ WIN-L3EEURCNCP1] [ STANDARD] (pr.DefaultAsyncSupportResolver) ERROR - Real error: Unable to configure jsr356 at that stage. ServerContainer is null

This message appears because the Pega 7.2.2 real-time notification feature initially tries to use WebSocket and then falls back to long polling. The Pega 7 Platform does not support WebSocket for Oracle Weblogic servers, and instead uses long polling for real-time notifications.

Disregard this Java script console message

Pega 7.2.2 introduced real-time notifications by using Comet technologies such as WebSocket and long polling. WebSocket provides the best results, but both WebSocket and non-blocking long polling must be supported by your application server. If your application server does not support WebSocket, you might see a JavaScript error that begins with text that is similar to the following text:

WebSocket connection to 'ws://vnbamdevapp01:8080/prweb/PRPushServlet/... Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 501_getWebSocket @ pzpega_ui_messaging_1802554968!!.js:1195 pzpega_ui_messaging_1802554968!!.js:3265 Websocket closed, reason: Connection was closed abnormally (that is, with no close frame being sent). - wasClean: falselog @ pzpega_ui_messaging_1802554968!!.js:3265 pzpega_ui_messaging_1802554968!!.js:3265 Websocket failed on first connection attempt. Downgrading to long-polling and resending

You can disregard this message.

However, to take advantage of the improvements to real-time notifications, enable support for WebSocket:

• For IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core, see your deployment guide for instructions on configuring the application server.
• For Red Hat JBoss, see your deployment guide for instructions on enabling WebSocket support.
• For Apache Tomcat application servers, consider upgrading to Apache Tomcat 7.0.53 or later which supports WebSocket.
