Cannot create new data tables after update
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
Data tables have been replaced by a new local data storage format. You can upgrade old-style data tables to use the new local data storage format, but the new format is not compatible with earlier versions of Pega 7 in which data tables could be created.
You can still edit legacy data tables by using the old data table functionality. However, to create new data tables, you must use the Data Explorer and Data Designer.
The System Management Application is supported only on Microsoft Internet Explorer
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is required for the System Management Application (SMA). No other browser is supported.
Create and modify tenants only from the Tenant Management landing pages or SOAP operations
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
When creating or modifying tenants, do not use any of the following methods:
- Creating a new tenant definition from the Data-Admin-Tenant list
- Using the Save As feature to create a tenant from an existing tenant
- Creating a tenant from the rule form from the menu
Although these methods might appear to work, the resulting tenants have no associated metadata and are not valid. Always use landing pages or SOAP operations to create or modify tenants.
Work attachment indexing fails with IBM SDK Java 6
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
Indexing of work attachments fails when you use IBM SDK Java 6 with Pega 7.1.7 through Pega 7.2. The workaround is to switch to IBM SDK Java 7 or Oracle JDK Java 1.6. You can also disable attachment indexing from the Search landing page; however, if you do this, you are not be able to search the content of attachments.
Rule revalidation after updating properties without restarting nodes
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
When you update certain property attributes, such as a property's maximum length, rule types that reference the property might not reflect the change. You do not always have to restart nodes to revalidate the referencing rules when they cannot be resaved, for example, when they are in a locked ruleset. For Pega Platform™ 8.1 and later, for non-stream rules, such as activities, data transforms, and so on, use the reassemble API in Admin Studio or truncate the assembled classes table.
For stream rules, such as sections, harnesses, paragraphs, and so on, reassemble the rules and restart the nodes. For more information, see More about properties.
For previous versions of Pega Platform, use the System Management Application (SMA) to revalidate stream and non-stream rules.
