"Use null if empty" checkbox honored for GetSelectValues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When Report Definition rule uses parameters as a value for filter criteria, a moderate performance warning was generated: ''Some of your filters are using a parameter with the "Use null if empty" option NOT selected. Please ensure that you do pass the parameter. Otherwise, the filter will be dropped entirely and execution of the report will result in very poor performance. If you do not want this behavior, select the "Use null if empty" option.'' When the "Use null if empty" checkbox was selected as suggested, the "Select values" button gave an empty list of possible values. This was traced to refactoring work done on Select Values which changed it to be backed by a Report Definition and Grid instead of a List View: the option was intended to be only temporarily disabled, but was missed. To correct this, the activity pzGetSelectValues has been updated to honor the checkbox and appropriately disable the "Use null if empty" option on the selected filter on the temporary copy of the report definition before it is executed.

Null check added for ObjClass filter value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When a report definition was run with "Starts with" as a filter condition and "Use null if empty" was not checked, the message "An error occurred during resolving the report definition - null java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException" was logged. This did not appear if the filter condition was "is equal" and "Use null if empty" was checked. To resolve this, the system will check for a null or empty value on pxObjClass filter values before processing it for class descendants.

Check added for empty RelevantRecords parameter to improve performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When there were no relevant properties in given class context, i.e the Param.RelevantRecords value was empty at step#3 of the pxLoadPegaExpressFields activity, the pzGetFieldsDetailsForClass RD tried to fetch all the properties available for that particular class and its hierarchy, causing system performance issues. To resolve this, a jump condition has been added at step#4 of the pxLoadPegaExpressFields activity to avoid further processing when there are no relevant properties in given class, and the "Use null if empty" option for filter condition A in pzGetFieldsDetailsForClass is now checked to avoid fetching all results when the RelevantRecords parameter value is empty.
