Correct time zone chosen for fr_Fr appointment functionq
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the "fr_Fr" location and and "Europe/Paris" time zone for appointments, a null pointer exception was seen related to the function getStartOrEndDateTime. Investigation showed that the incorrect time zone was being picked from the fr_FR.xml file when parsing the date. To resolve this, 4 letter time zone codes have been moved above the 3 letter time zone codes.

Added handling for Create Source and Target properties of Date
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A report definition was not displaying results after update, and a stack overflow was reported. This was a missed use case for Create Source and Target properties of Date, and has been resolved by adding a boolean flag to avoid autochain during validations when data type is Date.

Resolved classcast exception with assembled HTML controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A classcast exception was being generated on login. Investigation showed the Static Assembler was unexpectedly using a different Assembler to assemble the Html control rule. Standard behavior is that StreamBuilderAssembler assembles controls of type StreamBuilder and ControlAssemblerForVTable assembles controls of type ControlBuilder. In this case, static assembly for HTML controls using VTable was performed using StreamBuilderAssembler, causing a classcast exception when using VTable because the instance of the generated.html class was incorrectly inheriting from StreamBuilder (the parent class of ControlBuilder) instead of ControlBuilder which is the specified interface in the generated.html Java code. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip rules of type 'Rule-HTML-Property'(control) during Static Assembly.

To resolve this, support has been added for nested pagelist mapping with deep nesting of objects (configured for one sided actions) and arrays.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

Updated handling for validating/saving circumstanced rule on branch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Using 'save as' for an already circumstanced rule with a new property/template caused the Rule-.DictionaryValidation activity to register the error "StandardValidate-CircumPropAlreadyDefined". The same activity Step did not throw an error when saving into Branch. This was traced to the ruleset name not being the same for the branch ruleset due to having _BRANCH_Branch-Name appended to its name, and has been resolved by adding a condition to check for circumstanced rule in a branch.

Oracle handling updated for primary key in upgrade DDL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Previously, when a primary key of a table was created Oracle would automatically create a unique index with the same name as the primary key. However, with the introduction of Oracle 19, an optimization was added which will not do that if there is another unique index on the table which contains the column(s) of the primary key. This difference can cause updates to fail with the error "cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key". This has been resolved by updating the handling for primary key constraint and the corresponding index name.

Added WebSphere Liberty Profile to BaseEnvironment.guessServerEnvironment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
While trying to add a node to Decision data store nodes via Designer Studio > Decisioning > Infrastructure > Service, the error "Service DDS:** java.lang.NullPointerException" was seen, and it was not possible to add a node or save any configuration. This was caused by an incomplete profile for Websphere Liberty, causing the com.pega.pegarules.priv.context.BaseEnvironment.guessServerEnvironment() API to return 'unknown' as the answer when WLP was used. This has been fixed, and the API will return "Websphere" for Websphere liberty profile as well.

Query added to find time zone for MSSQL database
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The exception "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: xp_regread() returned error 5, 'Access is denied.'" was generated when the AES agent PushDBSizeInfo was being run. This was traced to the GetDBInfo activity trying to retrieve the time zone of the MSSQL database by executing a query that used a Microsoft SQL routine to read the windows registry to get the current time zone. The error was not due to security within the SQL Server, but instead was caused by Microsoft Windows security related to the permissions on the registry keys for the users under which specific SQL Server processes were running. To resolve this, an update has been made to call a different query which will get the time zone for the SQL Server.

SortPageList method updated for Obj-Sort
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Sorting page lists backed by a node level datapage using Obj-Sort was causing a ConcurrentModificationException. This has been resolved by updating the SorterImpl.sortPageList method to use java7CollectionsSort instead of collectionsSortWithInferenceEngineDisabled.
