Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7

Check added for backwards compatibility with Case Type when rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, the When rules present on case type rules (used for skipping stages or showing/hiding stage-wide or case-wide actions) were not executing at run time. This was traced to the introduction of the pySkipOrAllowType property in recent versions, and was only reproducible when the ApplicationRuleset was locked and after upgrade irrespective of whether the condition for when was true or false. To resolve this and enhance backwards capability, a check has been added for the SkipOrAllowType property being empty.

Security improvements for ApplicationInventory and Delete Class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
It was possible to call the activity "ApplicationInventory of class Rule-" by appending the activity name in the URL. To improve security, the ApplicationInventory activity and HTML rule have been removed from the system. In addition, it was possible to access the "delete class" screen and perform actions on top of it by directly appending the stream to the URL. This has been refactored so the screen will be presented only if the pzSystemOperationsAdministrator privilege is in the current access group.

Serialized passivation exception fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

PegaCALL Null Pointer Exception fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After a successful PegaCALL login was initiated and events were populated to the desktop, setting the phone status to Ready then caused some sites to experience sporadic errors that resulted in CTI login problems and events not reaching the desktop. When the issue occurred, it affected an entire instance at a time but cleared on its own after several hours. This was due to missing null handling in the code used for event delivery, and has been fixed.

Handling added for blanks when copying parameter pages
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After Configuring a Call-Asynch-Activity method step on an activity and refreshing the ruleform, the name of the activity being called in the method was no longer shown. To correct this, a 'when' condition has been added to the pzAddAdditionalMethodParameter activity to handle blank pages when copying parameter pages to pyStepsParamUI pages.

Ruleset sorting/comparison updated for DB2/zOS EBCIDIC
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After upgrade to a DB2/zOS split schema, accessing the UI Gallery landing page (DS -> User Interface -> UI Gallery) did not show any results. It was possible to search for rules and open them without issue, and altering the query to use a wildcard for pzRuleSetListHash found the rules as expected. The problem was traced to EBCIDIC character set ordering being different than ASCII & UTF-x based char ordering. UTF-based character encodings hold that A is greater than 9 when being used for comparison, but in an EBCIDIC sort, A's value is less than 0. Due to IBM DB2 on zOS using EBCIDIC ordering for character string comparisons (e.g. greater than, less than), the pzRuleSetVersionMinorPatch column that contains the String for the Minor and Patch versions was not ordering the needed rulesets as expected. To resolve this, the code has been updated to rarely use character string comparisons (greater than) in DB queries for greater compatibility.
