Local UUID cache will be updated when merge event is detected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
Cluster-related issues were seen in multiple production clusters. For some nodes in the cluster the Cluster Management screen showed all expected nodes with valid Node IDs displayed, and on other nodes the Cluster Management screen showed the node ID of itself, SERVER@localhost:5701. On an impacted node displaying the wrong ID, the Node Information landing page did not work and displayed the error "Unable to execute job on ." Multiple advanced agents running on nodes in the affected clusters, both with correct and incorrect IDs, also failed with a similar error "Unable to execute job on <node's job id>". This was traced to a merge performed after a split brain. To resolve this, the code has been updated to handle merge events: when the node UUID is changed as part of a split brain recovery, the local UUID cache will be updated when the merge event is detected.

Improved upgrade handling for tables using classes with property references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
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.

Modified ClassName pass method for external DBs
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When DB2 is used as external DB (external table has a date column) and PRPC is hosted on a DB other than DB2, performing an obj-save into an external DB2 database failed with an SQL error. This issue occurred when a class was mapped to a table in an external DB which was not same as Pega hosting DB. In class PageDatabaseMapperImpl.java , function getDatabaseTypeFromEngine is used to check the database type when column type is Date, but the function was using a hardcoded value of class to determine the database type. This has been changed to pass className as parameter and use it to determine database type.

Pega Lookup JSP tag correctly retrieves Chinese characters
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When the pega:lookup JSP tag did a field value lookup on pyCaption to retrieve the field value consistent with the locale, any Chinese characters embedded in the HTML pages used to generate the PDF rendered correctly but '?????' appeared in the PDF content instead of the Chinese characters configured in the Field-Value pair. This was caused by an issue in the code which caused the system to incorrectly identify NVARCHAR columns as being VARCHAR columns. This has been fixed., and the encoding for TestDatabaseNew has also been set to be UTF-8 to ensure the Non-ASCII characters in the tests are handled properly in all workspaces.

Enhancement added to modify URL encryption for load testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
An enhancement has been added which allows conditionally modifying URL encryption for load testing. This uses the flag crypto/useportablecipherforurlencryption: if true, a portable hardcoded key is used to encrypt the URLs and if false, a dynamically generated key per thread/requestor is used to encrypt the URL.

Added path checking to FirstLogCreationTime.log
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
FirstLogCreationTime.log was being written to a temp folder using hard-coded logic to use a relative path within the install directory. This caused errors if the installer was trying to write the logs in an absolute path. FirstLogCreationTime.log should be written to the same directory as the rest of the logs, and this issue has been fixed by adding a condition in LogDeleteUtil.getLogCreationTimeFile() method to check for absolute paths.

Column population honors thread count of 1
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
The thread count parameter in the column population activity was not being honored, causing repeated deadlocks when trying to populate columns. Investigation showed that the ExposeCols process did not honor the thread count when it was 1 (the default is 4), and this has been fixed by adding the necessary code so that if the thread count is 1, it will not run in multhreaded mode.

Resolved Vtable NPE during engine start
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
If a Rule-Access-When was defined on the class Data-Admin-System-Settings, search was initialized before the VTable is initialized. While initializing search, a DASS was set and a save operation was performed on the DASS which then tried to perform a security check and attempted to retrieve the Rule-Access-When from the unpopulated VTable cache. This led to an NPE. To resolve this, changes have been made so that search will be initialized after Vtable is populated.

Added Unicode character error handling for JAR Import Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When there are files with Unicode characters in the import directory of a Unix system, the JAR import wizard would throw an exception and not display any files. This exception has been corrected by adding error handling in the selectfile control.
