Check added for child join class when using ABAC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a join was applied on a report definition and the same join class had a child class to which ABAC was applied (for some property eg., isABC), an "invalidreference" exception (isABC) was generated. This was traced to the system taking into account the child class of the join class while running the report, and has been resolved by adding a check to handle this scenario.

Removed incorrect role from accessible filter logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using JAWS, tabbing out from Close(X) and setting focus on the "filter by" section resulted in JAWS reading out "use arrows to move". This was not an available action, and has been resolved by removing role="listitem" from the RRFilters_logic.

Updated variable handling for filter logic to avoid reuse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When adding the property "ItemStatus" as a filter for a report, the validation message: "This property does not exist or has no column mapping" appeared. This was traced to an empty caption for a class join property used in the filter due to RRFilters_Logic reusing the strFieldName variable, and has been resolved by updating the variable handling to use a unique name, strPropName.

Updated replica management for search clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a cluster with two Universal nodes in the cluster, a daily restart process where the second node was not started until the first was fully up resulted in Search initialization failing for the first node while becoming active on the second node. This was traced to the methods used in increasing and decreasing replicas. This has been resolved by revising the handling of ElasticSearch node lifecycle and replicas through a new option "Dindex.searchNodeCount " which includes a specification for the number of expected search nodes. If this option is not present, the old method will be used.

Charts sourced from Report Definition show correct color post-update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the color coding was not working on charts sourced from a report definition. This was due to the correct seriesType not being determined when function aliases were used in charts, and has been resolved by adding a condition in configuration.java to determine correct the SeriesType.

Added reporting on descendant classes for framework
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Reporting on descendant classes was not working as expected. In a report definition with "Reporting on descendant classes enabled," the framework class and implementation class each refers to two different tables that use the same names but belong to two different schemas. Investigation showed the generated SQL query was not adding the necessary UNION clause, and the records from the descendant classes were missing when running the report on framework class. This was a missed use case and has been corrected.

Drilldown report takes original report prompt parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a report had prompt filters configured and the summary report definition was executed by giving prompt filters, drilling down to one of the records in the summary report display and then looking at the reports displayed and summarized on a column showed a mismatched count. This was found to be a very specific edge case that involved calling the "Summarize" action from a report column within a drilldown report when using a custom filter section and "prompt for filter changes" on the main report. Filters from the custom filter section were being propagated to the drilldown report when summarizing, but the drilled-down-and-summarized report itself had not been refreshed on the client side to reflect this. To resolve this, the actions have been copied from pyDefaultCustomFilterApplyCancel and applied to the Summarize selection in pzGridMenuNavRule.

Quorum capability check added for external Elastic Search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The error "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not supported for client/server mode at search.indexmanager.internal.ESIndexAdminHTTP.isQuorumAvailable" was appearing when attempting to use external Elastic Search to index a dedicated index, and the queue processor was running but showed multiple broken items. This has been resolved by adding a capability check with ES_INITIALIZE_EMBEDDED_CLUSTER to prevent a quorum check with external elastic search.

Handling updated for INativeSQLBuilder with ABAC enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When trying to import into a data type, the error "Exception occurred during data import pxW-886: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: INativeSQLBuilder not initialized properly" was generated. Investigation showed that when Add or Update was chosen with ABAC enabled during import, a null pointer exception occurred while getting the class definition. This has been handled by adding an extra null condition check.
