Added handling for silent save fail with invalid cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When Commit threw an exception, the Save button from rule form did not catch it and returned no errors even though the save failed. Investigation found this could occur on systems with invalid caches, and a try-catch has been added to handle an exception occurring in a Java step that should not stop future processing.

Manual value group addition support available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In a test case created for a data transform containing a value group property, that value group property could be added by clicking the + sign in the left pane of the test case, but a value group property could not be added manually by clicking the add row button. This has been resolved by adding support for manually adding value list/value groups. The activity steps which were using @java function have also now been replaced with a getproperty function.

Special character handling updated for export MapValue to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The Excel download was failing when the Row/Column definition or column configuration of a map value contained an equals sign (=) or < > brackets inside quotation marks. This has been resolved by adding an update that will evaluate the comparator value at the start of the row condition value, and row condition value and row condition operator will be set separately.

Security updated for @baseclass
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, searching for a baseclass 'when' rule returned no results. Listing the rules under baseclass in App Explorer resulted in the error "Applies To: The Class with key value(s) %40baseclass does not exist". This was an unintended side effect of security updates, and has been resolved by creating an exception path for "@baseclass".

Clipboard ExecuteActivity button updated to get classname
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In Clipboard, clicking the execute activity button did not trigger any action in the backend. Investigation showed that previously the ID attribute for the HTML element used to be same as the property name, and the value of property "pyClassName" was found in the document.getElementById function. Due to work done to provide a feature that generates unique IDs for UI elements (auto generated controls), this must be done through other functions such as document.querySelector to get the value of the property from DOM. The necessary updates have now been made to the javascript function in control pzExecuteActivityButton.

OpenRuleAdvanced updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, the Update Page and Append and Map to step in Data transform was generating the error "No Server connection while giving page name to Target and Source". This was traced to the OpenRuleAdvanced_OverLabel control, and investigation showed that a variable was not being resolved when invoking pzEncryptURLActionString. This has been resolved by updating OpenRuleAdvanced and reimplementing two parameters as well as moving the call of these variables to the beginning of the script. Security has also been improved by moving some of the encryption to SafeUrls.

Approved flow rule image unlocked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When the Approval Required check box was enabled for rulesets (i.e another person with access to this work queue should approve changes to the rules), a rule which was approved was unlocked and moved back to the original ruleset as expected, but the binary image associated with the flow rule remained locked and any other user other than the one who previously checked in the rule was denied access with a "check out failed" error. This locking error has been resolved by modifying the Rule-Obj-Flow!CleanUp activity to set Param.IgnoreInstanceLockedBy = true.

Tracer issues resolved for Google Chrome broswer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Tracer was running in the background even after the tracer window was closed. Attempting to run a Tracer in this condition resulted in an error indicating the Tracer was being run by another operator and should be restarted, and in the Dev environment, attempting to start a Tracer once it was closed resulted in the message "Cannot launch multiple Tracer sessions for a requestor." Investigation found that the Tracer session was not being closed when the tracer window was closed because the browser specific method intended to do so was not being called. This was found to be an issue caused by the Google Chrome browser changing the signature of the method, and has been resolved by updating the method name in the TraceMain HTML rule.

Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.
