Modified Dropdown to return JSON content type for use with ISAM
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
ISAM, a third-party tracking layer, embeds JavaScript code in text/html responses. The Dropdown control was returning JSON but in HTML content type, so sites that use ISAM found that the ISAM JS code was embedded and the Pega JS that parses the JSON response failed to execute. Changes have been made to the wrapper to ensure the desired behavior of Pega returning application/json content type for JSON responses instead of text/html.

Time-related RUFs now use operator's time zone
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Date properties and Time properties were taking their reference from the server's default time zone, which created unexpected behaviors for operators in other time zones using start and end date functions. This has been resolved by updating the time-related RUFs to use the operator's defined time zone

Improved upgrade handling for tables using classes with property references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, some page property values were blank and exposed database columns did not contain the values. Investigation showed that the reference properties did not have context and hence column population was not able to determine their value. To resolve this, instead of doing column population for all the columns, the system will identify classes that have property references and that are being optimized as part of upgrade process and maintain a list of specific columns to update.

Creation and testing corrected for ATOM server connection using Alfresco 4.2
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When creating a new ATOM Server instance with Alfresco 4.2, an error was logged and shown on the screen. This process worked with Alfresco 4.0. In the process of upgrading openCMIS jars, Atom and SOAP server connectivity tests were also changed to use HTTP, and Atom Server connectivity tests should now work for all versions of Alfresco.

Localization added for currency values using commas vs decimal points
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Excel within PRPC was not properly localizing for the use of decimal and comma as thousand and decimal separators for decimal/double currency property values, a use that is common in non-English installations. The records editor has been changed to support localization for properties of type double and decimal.

Smoothed post-upgrade ApplicationSetup that uses previously generated LDAP configs
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
An LDAP configuration created under a previous version of the software was generating an NPE after upgrading. This was traced to step2 of the ApplicationSetup activity where the system was expecting a page which was missing at that point due to the user not yet being fully identified. To avoid this, a step has been added to check if the page is available and avoid the NPE.

reRunReport modified to use fully qualified RUF from Procomm ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In some cases, re-running a report would fail due to an inability to pick the correct instance of the Rule-Utility-Function getPropertyValue from two rulesets with the same parameters (in the KYC ruleset and the Procomm ruleset). This has been resolved by modifying the reRunreport activity to use the fully qualified RUF from the PegaProcom ruleset.

SSLContext created using protocol from REST connector rule form
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrading to IBM websphere v9.0.5.6 or higher, API calls Like REST, Connect-HTTP etc were failing to connect to endpoints using TLSv1.2. Investigation showed that although the connector was configured to send TLSv1.2, the ClientHello handshake was triggered for TLSv1.3. Because the SSLContext was created with highest version supported by protocol in the WAS container, this has been resolved by modifying the code to create SSLContext based on the the protocol selected in the REST connector rule form. Additionally, please note that the Connect-HTTP connector has been deprecated and the Connect-REST capabilities in the platform should be used instead.
