Check added to ensure StepPage generation for Top keyword
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A ClassCastException was thrown when top page is used, indicating "com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.clipboard.ClipboardPropertyImpl cannot be cast to com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.ClipboardPage". This has been resolved by adding a check which will generate a myStepPage for Keyword "Top" as necessary.

Common TransformerFactory method added for greater compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
In Service-SOAP, mapping request headers and parameters to the clipboard (instead of mapping to a Parse XML rule) resulted in blank values on the primary page of the service activity when using the IBM WebSphere Liberty app server. In this case, instantiating the JAXP TransformerFactory object using the com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl parameter resulted in a transformer that serialized the XML to an empty string instead of the correct XML. To resolve this, an update has been made to make a common TransformerFactory method to ensure IBM JDK in WAS deployments function as expected.

Fallback added for missing fileName in MultipartHTTPResponse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Given a multipart/form-data response with multiple attachments, when there was no explicit fileName header provided for a body part, the engine skipped processing the part and no data was present on pyRequestAttachmentPage. This has been resolved by adding a fallback in HTTPClientUtils#handleMultipartHTTPResponse() so that if no fileName is present, the 'name' parameter of the Content-Disposition header field will be used.

UpdateDateTime casing corrected in filters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When using Job Scheduler with MS/SQL, the error "Cannot find either column 'mktdata' or the user-defined function or aggregate 'mktdata.pr_read_from_stream', or the name is ambiguous." This was traced to a casing issue and has been resolved by updating the pxupdatedatetime property to pxUpdateDateTime in Filters F1 and F2.

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.

Handling added for large BIX Postgres data sets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
BIX extracts were causing timeouts or JVM out of memory errors. This was traced to the Postgres JDBC driver ignoring fetch size in auto-commit transaction mode, which led to everything being loaded into memory at once. To resolve this, changes have been added to support fetch size for large results when using PostgreSQL database for BIX Extraction.

Decimal parameters retain null value instead of being set to 0
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When mapping any data in 8.6+, if the source is a decimal property rule and the target is a parameter defined as decimal, the decimal parameter's value will be 0 if the source property is null. This was a behavior change from previous versions of Pega where the target parameter would be null. This has been resolved by changing the code generation for the read operation on the parameter decimal type assignment to use resolveToString() instead of calling resolveToBigDecimal() so a null value is retained.

Currency Code updates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A Section configured with an editable currency input using auto-formatting failed to render at runtime if configured using Type -> Number, Symbol -> Currency, Other currency, and Currency -> "USD". The error "Invalid Locale : USD" was logged. This was an unintended side effect of work done to configure currency codes for the Number control, and has been resolved by accounting for the locale settings and handling the condition for the error "Invalid local-USD" so that the the UI rendering appears as expected. In addition, when the Currency control was configured with editable mode "Editable" and "Display value using read-only formatting" checked, read-only formatting generation did not happen for the control. Entering a value and tabbing out caused the ReloadCell activity to return empty content, which resulted in the server returning full HTML markup with a message "Operation Successful". Because the ReloadCell activity handler expected only control markup with formatted value to be returned, the HTML markup containing inline CSS styles in it appeared in the Currency input field on tab out. There was a workaround of unchecking "Display value using read-only formatting" on the control's presentation tab, but this has been resolved by using Post value infrastructure to get the formatted value from the server.

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.
