BPEL rule types deprecated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
BPEL is a flow format that makes SOAP calls to other systems. Previously, Rule-Connect-BPEL and Rule-Service-BPEL were supported types not as callable rules, but as summaries of the rules involved with interacting with a particular BPEL flow. This usage originated before the advent of landing pages, and summarized the connector or service rules, respectively, that were in the system for a given BPEL-related service package. It has been found that the BPEL-specific standard in version 1.1 and higher does not carry enough information in its schema to do an import and requires limitations and post-import work to make the flows usable. In addition, BPEL import was supported only with Visio. In Pega 7 there is no Visio view for flows, so these flows cannot be viewed or edited. Therefore the following rule types have been deprecated as of this release: -------------------------------------------------- Form Hierarchy Service COM Service BPEL Connect BPEL Parse Transform Parse Transform Collection Parse Infer Attempting to use these rule types will present the following messages: -- Service BPEL: "The rule type Service BPEL is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please use Service SOAP instead." -- Connect BPEL: "The rule type Connect BPEL is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please use Connect SOAP instead."

Checks for Apache Tomcat 6 with MSSQL removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After implementing a specific local Tomcat configuration that removed the Tomcat version number from displaying on Tomcat standard error screens, the error "Tomcat 6 not supported or unable to detect version for custom Tomcat: Apache Tomcat. Contact Pega Customer Support!" appeared and Tomcat failed to start. Because Tomcat 6 was not supported for use with Microsoft SQL Server Systems, Pega used the ServletContext.getServerInfo() method to determine the Tomcat version; if the system used Tomcat 6 or an undetermined version in combination with MSSQL then the system would purposefully not start. As Tomcat 6 is no longer supported in Pega 8.5.2 and above, this check is unnecessary in those versions and the Tomcat version 6 checks in ClassMapImpl have been removed to allow serverAllowsMerge to return as true.

Improved processing of WSDL for the Create SOAP Integration wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When running the Create Soap Integration wizard for a selected operation from the WSDL, the wizard was not only generating the necessary rules for the selected operation, but for all operations in the WSDL. To address this, when processTypeContentsAndRelatives is processing a parent type, it now skips type substitutions of the parent.

Rule Assembly update for pxTextInput and pxDisplayText
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After the application restart, multiple rule assembly alerts were seen for pxTextInput and pxDisplayText . During first access, Assembly is done and container is cached in VTable; investigation showed that in this case, the Load class without the package name had a class not found issue, and then subsequent access tried to use the container from cache and assembly was not done. To prevent this, an update has been made to perform the class lookup using the package name and class name.

FCM IAC caching improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Analysis on the web server access logs found that content such as JS, image, and CSS files are cached correctly when accessing PRPC directly but not cached at all on the client when the same case is opened via the FCM IAC Gateway. This caused network congestion for the browser. To resolve this, the system now removes the appending forward slash from the thread name in the finalizeNavURL method when the request is issued to a gateway, allowing the download of the static content based on the application instead of the thread name.

Property Rule Form refreshes after discarding changes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.2 to Pega 8.6 and migrating the properties, modifying any property rule and then discarding the change did not refresh the Property Rule Form. Investigation showed that the LOG-SYSTEM-PROPERTYOPTIMIZATION instance created during property optimization was not getting deleted when a property was deleted. As this was not getting deleted, the property was shown as optimized when adding the property back, causing confusion. This has been resolved by cleaning up the LOG-SYSTEM-PROPERTYOPTIMIZATION instance when the property is deleted and there is an optimization entry.

Customer Request Header mapping updated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A Connect SOAP rule using Custom Request Headers to pass the wsse:Security, wsa:From, wsa:MessageID and wsa:Action fields was failing with the error "The server did not recognize the action which it received." Headers were mapped to a XML stream rule where the root node was mapped to a property, but the mapping was failing due to missing support to add the text node in addition to the elements. This has been fixed with code added to use getChildren() instead of getChildElements().
