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.

Corrected test connection for LDAP AuthService using keystore
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When using a AuthService rule defined for LDAP using ldaps:// and a KeyStore rule that was defined to reference a local file in the server, the Test Connection button on the AuthService rule did not work and generated the following exception: "com.pega.apache.commons.httpclient.contrib.ssl.AuthSSLInitializationError: I/O error reading keystore/truststore file: null". Investigation showed that file reference keystore did not work with an LDAPS test connection because while run time used the LDAPVerifyCredentials activity, the design time validation used the activity “ValidateInfrastructure” which did not have the required code to support file reference keystore. This has been corrected.

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.

Resolved importing PublicFormat file using RuleFromFile Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When attempting to create a flow from a Public Format XML file using the Rule From File Wizard, the following error was seen: "Problem invoking function: pega_procom_harvest.performXSLT--(String,String,boolean,HashStringMap)". This was caused by a mapping failure related to the pyComments property in baseclass pega social functionality, and has been resolved with the addition of a new page group property pyComments of type "Data-MO-Annotation-Comment" which applies to "Embed-Rule-Obj-Flow-ProcessModel". In addition, a system property set has been added:'System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");' to make the security flags work properly in java step of 'transformPublicFlow' activity

Improved handling for multiple access 'when' in business event processing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
It was possible to encounter a missing page in the business event processing if event processing performed a call to tools.getThread().getAuthorization().haveAccess in multiple activities and there were several access 'when' actions defined for the class. The access 'when' requires that a work page be present to evaluate against, and depending on how the call was being performed or if passivation has occurred the process could throw an IndeterminateConditionalException and pass a null as parameter value for "aPage" parameter. To prevent this error, the activities pxCreateSummary and pxGetPrimaryClasses have been changed to pass the ClipboardPage of class for which haveAccess() is being called.

Logic updated for 'when' controlled edit modes in embedded sections
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
Complex layers of 'when'-controlled edit modes were not being properly applied in embedded sections. For example, if the main section included another section and the read-only nature of the included section was controlled by a when rule and the included section went on to include another section that contained a Repeat Grid/ Row repeat, the edit mode of the parent was not considered when evaluating the edit mode of the child. This was an issue with the logic governing precedence considerations, and has been updated with additional checks.

Enhancement to display custom properties during editing based on when
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
It was assumed that if pyShowCustomProperties returns false, only the custom properties are shown while editing a report in the data explorer. This was not always true based on checkout privileges, and was therefore inconsistent with the name of the when rule. In order to meet expectations for filtering, pzPrepareReportExplorerFieldNames and runReport have been updated to reference a new 'when' rule called pyReport_ShowCustomProperties. This function will filter the properties as expected based on the available when rule and will reference pyShowCustomProperties for backwards compatibility reasons.
