Published Release Notes

Context-specific documentation is not available in express mode

Help topics that are opened from express mode display content that is specific to Designer Studio.

If your system is dedicated to applications that are developed in express mode exclusively, and you do not need Designer Studio help topics, you can set the Online Help URL field on the System Settings landing page to: https://pdn.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_p7e/procomhelpmain.htm. Alternatively, you can view the contextual help system for Pega 7 Express in a separate browser tab.

Design-time limitations in express mode

Some limitations apply when you develop an enterprise application in express mode. At design time, some features are disabled or have limited options when you configure them in Designer Studio and switch to express mode. The use of these features does not restrict the run-time behavior of your application; however, you cannot change the configuration of these features unless you switch from express mode to Designer Studio.

For more information about each limitation and the recommended action to take, see the following information:

• Pega 7.2.2 Design-time limitations in express mode
• Pega 7.2.1 Design-time limitations in express mode
• Pega 7.2 Design-time limitations in express mode
• Pega 7.1.9 Design-time limitations in express mode

Problem with truncating Decision Data Store data set

The Truncate operation for the Decision Data Store data set may cause timeout exceptions. This problem is caused by the Apache Cassandra database that waits until compaction tasks finish before it can truncate the data set.

Recommendation:

Repeat the Truncate operation until it is successful.

Primary key constraint error when using JBoss

A primary key constraint violation exception might occur in the following situation: you use JBoss EAP 6.4 and SQL Server 2012 with a JDBC 4 driver, and you use two or more file listeners or JMS MDB listeners with concurrent threads that create work objects that use multiple files. If a primary key constraint violation exception occurs in this situation, update the data source configuration file to set the jta parameter to true. For example, set <datasource jta="true" jndi-name-"java:/jdbc/PegaRULES>.

Data synchronization does not resume after mobile app restart

If an offline-enabled mobile app that you build with Pega Infinity Mobile Client™ is stopped during an initial data synchronization session, the data synchronization does not resume when the mobile app is restarted. Users must not stop the mobile app before initial data synchronization finishes.

For more information about data synchronization, see Offline capability and Guidelines for creating an offline-enabled application.
