Enhancement for MaxEnt modeling data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An enhancement has been added to create output for the model coefficients, the term frequency, and the inverse term frequency for use in maximum entropy modeling. For MRM processes, every Maximum Entropy (Maxent) based topic model will contain two additional stats resources. These resources can be used to validate and replicate running of topic model outside of Pega. The resources are: 1) Term Frequency file – A CSV file with all words used for training and their cumulative frequency across training set. File name format – TRAINING_DATA_TERM_FREQUENCY_< RandomNumber >.csv olumns – Word, Count 2) Coefficient file – A CSV file with all features (words, taxonomy matches and category matches) and model learnt weights for each topic across training set. File name format – MAXENT_COEFFICIENT_VALUE.csv Columns – Feature, < TopicName1 >, < TopicName2 > ,…, < TopicNameK >

Code fragment removed to eliminate Fortify false positive
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
A code remnant related to Boolean.getBoolean(..) in Rule-Declare testConsistency was causing a false positive in a Fortify scan. This piece of code is obselete and is not used anywhere, and has been removed.

Response Strategy works for predictive models
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After implementing the response strategy for the predictive model and capturing the response, "Refresh Data" in the monitor tab of the predictive model still showed no response captured. As a result, it was not possible to analyze the performance of the model or use it for reporting. This was traced to recent work done so that Response processing now references the factory against a new table. However, the entries in this table were not created for predictive models, causing responses to not be processed. This has been resolved by adding predictive models to the event processor and ensure the functions are using the new factory initializer.

ADM Models correctly updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The ADM models were not being updated when responses were processed either via the CaptureResponse API or when the time elapsed that should result in an update reflecting a non-response. This was traced to incomplete handling for a response coming for some other model which was converted to EMPTY, and has been resolved by modifying the logic so that the default responses and other responses are processed properly.

Mapping updated for Primary filter rule with globally optimized strategies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A discrepancy was seen in the results when compared between running globally optimized strategies (GOS) and a normal strategy in the Customer Decision Hub. Investigation showed this was caused by a proposition filter rule containing When rules configured with the keyword "Primary", which caused page mappings to fail in GOS. This has been resolved by explicitly populating the primary context for callWhen.

Handling updated for switching between concrete and abstract class types
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring a non-templatized table with source as page list, with the page list property sourced to abstract class, a runtime exception was seen when loading the table that indicated "database.BadInputException: Cannot open or save instances of class Data-Orders-OrderDetails--the class might be abstract, or it might have no defined keys, or it might descend from Code-". When a class is created and saved as concrete, there is a checkbox "Automatically generate a unique ID for records of this type" which when checked will set pyAutogeneratedKey to false on the clipboard. If the Class is then later changed to abstract without unchecking the checkbox first, then the BadInputException error will manifest on the table at runtime. Investigation of the Edit Class ruleform found some scenarios where clipboard properties which have previously been set while Class type dropdown is set to Concrete can persist and cause the BadInputException seen when the class is switched to Abstract. This has been resolved.

docx4j updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After generating a Word document using the pxGenerateWordDocument activity, opening the document resulted in a popup message indicating "Word found unreadable content". This was traced to an issue with docx4j version 8.2.6, and has been resolved by updating docx4j to version 8.3.1 .

All functions listed in decision trees
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
While configuring a decision tree, using the 'Function Allowed' dropdown resulted in the activity Rules-Alias-Function ListAliases throwing the error "Attempting to access a rule with a bad defined-on class: Trying to open rule "COMPARETWOVALUES" of class Rule-Alias-Function, but no defined-on class (pyClassName) was specified" while trying to remove the duplicates. After this error, both the original and the duplicate were removed instead of just the duplicates and an incomplete list was created. This was traced to an issue with the propagation of the pyClassName property to the OpenRuleAdvanced control in the pzAllowedFunctions section as part of passing "OtherKeyValuePairs", and has been resolved by passing the parameter values in the same control using a custom query.

VBD data flow timeout increased and made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Intermittent VBD timeouts were seen when writing records to MSK even though no errors were reported on the MSK side. Analysis showed that while batch data flows retry when a timeout occurs, real time data flows do not retry and the configuration to wait up to 10 seconds for an acknowledgement may not be sufficient depending on the system conditions. This has been resolved by increasing the default timeout to 20 seconds and adding a configurable timeout "vbd/streamPublishTimeoutMillis" to allow a customized setting.

Survey Complex Question Definition properly displayed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Selecting any Complex Question to look at the definition displayed a blank screen. This was traced to an issue with the ruleformtabs properties for the layout group used by complex questions, and has been resolved by changing the Layout Group display type from "Default" to "Tab".
