Behavior changes when reporting on descendant classes
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
Report Definitions that use the Report on descendant class instances option with the Include all descendant classes option apply only to the Applies to Class. Join classes are not included as they were in previous Pega® Platform versions. The following example shows what happens for each possible scenario for Report on descendant class instances when the report is defined on ClassA with a class join with Work-.
- If Report on descendant class instances is disabled, the report runs against ClassA and the join happens with Work-. The behavior is the same in Pega 7.3.1 as it is in previous Pega Platform versions.
- If Report on descendant class instances is enabled, and Include single implementation class is selected, the report runs against ClassA and the join happens with the MySampleClass implementation class. The behavior is the same in Pega 7.3.1 as it is in previous Pega Platform versions.
- If Report on descendant class instances is enabled, and Include all descendant classes is selected, the report runs against ClassA and its descendants and the join happens with Work-. In previous Pega Platform versions, the join happened with the MySampleClass implementation class.
Upgrading Adaptive Decision Manager data mart tables might fail
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
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);
