Session timeout adjusted for use with Apple Safari
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A configured browser session logout timer was not working with the Apple Safari browser. This was traced to browser-specific handling for self.location.href and has been resolved by adjusting the logic and moving it inside a setTimeout to improve cross-browser compatibility.

Filter values retained when editing a report with custom filters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
After running a report, if some filter values were selected and then the Edit Report button was clicked and simulated data and actual data fields were toggled, the filter values were lost when exiting the report editor. In the Edit Report Page, trying to drag a new filter condition was not working and the Change logic buttons were not visible. These functions worked as expected when a custom Filter section was not used. This was traced to the custom filter page being cleared in the pzCreateCustomFilterPage activity where the step for creating new page should be skipped if it already exists. To resolve this, a parameter will be set to show if the report was rerun in "reRunReport", and a check has been added in pzCreateCustomFilterPage to see if the report was rerun before running the other 'when' conditions.

Async cache checking updated for interaction reload use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
A thread level data page using connect REST to get data from an external system with the "Reload once per interaction" checkbox ticked was being loaded asynchronously from the activity when by default the data page it was supplying needed to be loaded synchronously. Due to this, changes to the data in the external database were not reflected in the data page. This was caused when an async cache was referred and the freshness check for the data page instance did not consider the 'reload once per interaction' flag because it would cause the data page to load twice. The cache checking has been updated to resolve this.

Updated logic for Spinner API used in DateTime control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When selecting 11, 22, 33, 44 in minutes in the DateTime picker, 11 was rounded off to 10, 22 was rounded off to 20, 33 was rounded off to 30, etc. This was due to the match and increment behavior in the UI Spinner Js API used by the DateTime control, and has been resolved by modifying the logic used to calculate the nextIndex in the keydownHandler API under ui_spinner.js .

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Withdraw task notification uses correct email sender
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When withdrawing a Task, the withdraw email was sent from the default email box instead of the expected Application default email box. This was traced to the 'pyTaskDeleted' (notification name for withdraw task) value not being present, which meant the system fell back to the task 'pyTaskAssigned' notification name. To resolve this, an update has been made to have pyIsPulseNotificationDefinition return true for a pyTaskDeleted notification.

Value Finder updated for use with external Cassandra nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attempting to use the Value Finder feature resulted in the error "Running Simulation is not possible because the required services are not available. Contact your System Administrator to enable the data flow and decisioning data store services." Analysis traced this to a check which identifies whether there is more than one internal node available for CDH/ DSS node. Since there were only external nodes available in this scenario and no internal nodes, the method returned false and returned the error when the CDH / VF page was launched. To resolve this, the check has been modified to allow for external Cassandra.

Documentation updated for accents and special characters used in search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The "Pega search API" article has been updated to reflect that the search functionality in Pega Platform does not match accented words with unaccented. For example, searching for santé and sante will retrieve different results. In addition, Domain Specific Language (DSL) includes special characters for use when searching, for example '-', '_', '!', '@'. However, the system retrieves various results depending on the way the special characters are used in the search query. If the query contains special characters that are not escaped, the system may retrieve incorrect results. For example, not escaping the slash mark in the 25/02 query may cause the system to ignore the special character.

Corrected PDF generation when an image filename has special characters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When using Export to PDF with an uploaded image file that had special characters in its name, the images were missing from the generated document. This has been corrected by updating the decoding of the URL to not remove the checksum when using RTE.
