Empty properties are not included in snapshot

Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2

History records are smaller and more efficient, because empty properties are no longer included in the snapshot. However, as a result, the history snapshot for sections might present a distorted view of the section.

prpcUtils script fails when the connection property file location is specified

Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2

If you run the prpcUtils command-line script and pass the --connPropFile argument to specify the location of the connection properties file, the script fails with the following error:

Problem: failed to create task or type ac:/antcontrib.org:for

This error does not appear if you do not pass the --connPropFile argument, or if you use the prpcServiceUtils scripts.

As a workaround, edit the prpcUtilsWrapper.xml file:

  1. Open <distribution>\scripts\utils\prpcUtilsWrapper.xml.
  2. Locate the following line:

    <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" uri="ac:/antcontrib.org">

  3. Replace that line with the following line.

    <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" uri="ac:/antcontrib.org">

  4. Save and close the file.

Data schema requires update after multitenant upgrade

Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2

After an out-of-place, multitenant upgrade to Pega 7.2.2 from Pega 7.2 or later, the PR_DATA_TAG_RELEVANTRECORD table that is in the existing data schema is not present in the new rules schema. The table must be present in the rules schema for the upgrade to the rules schema to work. Copy the PR_DATA_TAG_RELEVANTRECORD table from the existing data schema to the new rules schema, and then upgrade the new rules schema. The PR_DATA_TAG_RELEVANTRECORD table is not required to be in the rules schema. After the rules schema upgrade is finished, drop the copy of the table that is in the new rules schema before you upgrade the data schema.

Push notifications and Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6

Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2

Pega® Platform push notifications can use WebSockets and long polling. However, for WebLogic Server 10.3.6, the push notifications feature does not work. To disable the feature, contact Pegasystems Global Customer Support.

Load balancing: HTTPD does not support WebSockets by default

Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2

If you use a load balancer with HTTPD (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Daemon), HTTPD does not support fully functional WebSockets and sticky sessions. By default, HTTPD does not support sticky sessions, because if it did, after a session was started, the same server would serve all requests for that session.

WSDL generation error prevents invocation of SOAP services

Valid from Pega Version 8.4.2

Status

A Known Issue was introduced in the 8.4.2 Pega Platform patch release, which impacts both upgrades and new installations of that version.

Description

Due to changes introduced in the SOAP functionality for the case-mismatch error in SR-D98509/INC-119725, the WSDL is being generated for SOAP services with an incorrectly-capitalized element, which prevents the service from being invoked.  The element should be “name” instead of “Name”.

Workaround

Clients must perform the following workaround after they define a new SOAP connector in Pega Platform:

  1. To download the WSDL from Pega Platform:
    1. After using the SOAP Wizard (Dev Studio > Configure > Integration > Services > Service Wizard) the WSDL URL is shown at the bottom right of the Dev Studio screen.
    2. Click the URL to display the XML.
    3. Save the WSDL file to your local system.
  2. In the text editor of your choice, modify "Name" to "name" in every <element “name” = … > tag in the WDSL.
  3. Save your changes to the local file.
  4. To reload the WSDL into Pega Platform:
    1. In Dev Studio, open the Configure menu.
    2. Select Integration > Connectors > Create SOAP Integration.
    3. In the New SOAP integration wizard, select Upload WSDL from File.
    4. Complete the upload using the wizard prompts.

This is a design-time issue, not a run-time issue; therefore, clients only have to perform this workaround process once. Existing SOAP services should not be impacted; however, if clients modify an existing SOAP service definition by re-running the wizard, clients must reapply the workaround for Pega Platform to recognize the SOAP definition changes.  

Resolution

This issue will be addressed in the Pega Platform Patch Release 8.4.3.  Clients who upgrade to that version or later should not see this issue.
