Flow rules not supported in IE8

Tomcat log files moved to work directory
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.2
For Tomcat application server users, the default path for PRPC logs has been changed to the "work" directory for Catalina. For example:
<tomcat>\work\Catalina\localhost\prweb
This directory can be cleaned up during administration. To avoid loss of files, you can redirect logging to a different directory after installation:
- Navigate to the <tomcat-home>\webapps\prweb\WEB-INF\classes directory.
- Open the prlogging.xml file.
- Locate the "appender" definitions section that contains the "@{web.tmpdir}" string
- Update the FileNamePattern values to point to the new directory.
For more details, refer to the “Change the default path to PRPC logs” section in the Tomcat installation guide for your database.
Supported JDBC drivers
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
Pega 7.1.1 supports Java 6 and Java 7 SDKs only. Ensure that the JDBC driver you are using supports those versions of Java. See your database installation or upgrade documentation for additional information.
| Database | Java 6 | Java 7 |
|---|---|---|
| Oracle | ojdbc6.jar | ojdbc7.jar |
| MSQL | sqljdbc4.jar | sqljdbc4.jar |
| DB2 LUW | db2jcc4.jar | db2jcc4.jar |
| DB2 z/OS* | db2jcc4.jar or jdb2jcc.jar** | db2jcc4.jar |
| PostgreSQL | postgresql-9.1-903.jdbc4.jar*** | postgresql-9.1-903.jdbc4.jar |
* JDBC drivers are only available from the DB2 for z/OS product. Additionally, you need db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar in the same directory as db2jcc4.jar.
** The db2jcc.jar has been deprecated and may not be supported in future releases.
*** This .jar file is required for PostgreSQL version 9.1.x.

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Turn off saved connections in WebLogic
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
PRPC caches connections in thread-local storage. When using a WebLogic application server, set database/savedconnections to FALSE to avoid incorrectly saved, container-managed transactions. You can make this update through JNDI settings or by adding an entry to the prconfig.xml, for example:
<env name="database/savedconnections" value="false" />
Remove JVM settings from prior installations
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
JVM memory settings defined in the setupDatabase.properties file to support a prior installation need to be removed.
Memory settings are now handled by the installation program. Duplicating these settings may cause installation or upgrade failures.
