"Use null if empty" checkbox honored for GetSelectValues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When Report Definition rule uses parameters as a value for filter criteria, a moderate performance warning was generated: ''Some of your filters are using a parameter with the "Use null if empty" option NOT selected. Please ensure that you do pass the parameter. Otherwise, the filter will be dropped entirely and execution of the report will result in very poor performance. If you do not want this behavior, select the "Use null if empty" option.'' When the "Use null if empty" checkbox was selected as suggested, the "Select values" button gave an empty list of possible values. This was traced to refactoring work done on Select Values which changed it to be backed by a Report Definition and Grid instead of a List View: the option was intended to be only temporarily disabled, but was missed. To correct this, the activity pzGetSelectValues has been updated to honor the checkbox and appropriately disable the "Use null if empty" option on the selected filter on the temporary copy of the report definition before it is executed.

Navigation icons added for use in offline mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using an offline mobile app, clicking on an image / link on the home page for navigation resulted in the error “Resource missing. See client logs.” This was traced to a missed use case that resulted in some icons not being available in the package, and has been corrected by including the following: webwb/py-menu-toggle.png webwb/pzgrid_downarrow.png webwb/pymenuleftarrow.png webwb/pymenurightarrow.png webwb/pymodal_mask_img.png webwb/py-grid-sort-down.svg

Added keydown event handler for JAWS use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Clicking the "Select file(s)" button worked for mouse and keyboard users but did not work when a screen reader was used. Investigation showed that Keydown events were not firing while the JAWS screen reader was running. Since the screen reader was prompting a space key press to activate, an event keycode for space has been added in the pzMultiFilePath control for Select file button to resolve this issue. In addition, a role application has been added for a button to fire keydown events while running the JAWS screen reader.

ExecuteRDB call updated to use NativeSQL for blob
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After creating a test activity to clear data set records that used the DataSet-Execute method and passed the data set name and truncate operation, only 51 records were deleted in a single run when the data set had more than 51 records. Investigation showed that for blob tables, the database truncate operation was using executeRDB with an empty results page, i.e. it didn't specify pyMaxRecords, which on some databases might have limited the number affected records. To resolve this, the executeRDB call in the database truncate operation has been modified to use NativeSQL for blob tables.

Handling added for designtime page used in runtime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After creating a survey with branch Create survey cases routed to different actors, some cases missed the assignments and were left idle with no access to progress. Survey cases (with branches) having the 'when' conditions in flow connectors experienced this intermittently in production. This was traced to the use of D_pzSurveyPage data page called from the ProcessUpdate data transform while creating the survey: this data page is for design time and should not be used at runtime as it requires design time pages like CaseTypePage which will not be available at runtime. To resolve this issue for runtime, in Step 3 of pzGetAllConnectors, pyClassName will be copied from the step page and set for pzGetConnectorsForDecision.

Declare expressions validation message persists when clicked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After configuring a section with fields and validation through validate rule where some of the field properties were sourced in declare expressions, clicking on the validation message caused it to disappear. Investigation showed that when validations are displayed on the screen, clicking on any of the fields which have calculatexpression as validationtype triggers a check for errors on the field with caluclateexpression validationtype. As there were no errors, the existing validation message on the field was removed. To resolve this, the system has been updated so that If the calculate expression does not have any error and the field has existing validations, the removal of validation message will be skipped.

Handling added for disabling weekends when no weekends are available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A browser exception was generated while selecting the option “Disable weekends”. This was traced to a malformed array of weekends in a scenario where the Data-Admin-Calendar instance had all business days checked (i.e., no weekends). To resolve this, DatePickerAssembly and pzGenerateDatePicker have been updated to handle the case when there are no weekends available in the Data-Admin-Calendar instance.

Corrected thread switching when moving between interactions tabs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using Create New for a Phone Call-Consumer in one tab and Create New for an Outbound Phone Call on another tab, the thread was not changing when switching between the tabs of the interactions. Closing the Outbound call interaction resulted in null pages on the clipboard. This has been resolved by updating the pzpega_ui_doc_tabsupport file so it switches to root document context if called from onActivate function using a flag.

Extra <p> tag removed when not needed in RTE generation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
The RTE was generating an extra <p> tag in the Review harness or when the RTE was non-editable, causing alignment issues in the UI when RTE was displayed using inline dynamic layout with a textarea. This has been corrected.

Enhancements added for using AWS file repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Enhancements have been added to improve the use of AWS file storage: - Logging for AWS SDK connection metrics can be activated on a per-repository basis, either through the ruleform or through the DSS `storage/class/:/enableMetrics`. - INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter to periodically output averages of recorded metrics for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled, or INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSRequestMetricCollector to output recorded metrics on every client call for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled. - The interval at which PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter logs metrics at can be configured with the DASS `storage/AWSSDK/metricReportingInterval`. This DASS is a system-wide setting, and not a per-repository setting. The default reporting interval is 90 seconds, and metric collection is disabled on all repositories by default.
