SSLContext created using protocol from REST connector rule form
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
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.

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.

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.

Ruleset Restoration Utility repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Attempting to use the standard Ruleset Restoration utility after update was resulting in a "Status:fail Operator:Unauthenticated or not available Node:No ID available" error message. This was a missed use case for the refactoring done around importing rules, and was caused by the utility calling the deprecated Importable.isValidImport() method. This has been resolved by updating the import activity to restore its functionality.

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.

Enhancement added for handling DB2 BLOB sizes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
BLOB schema changes were not being picked up during import due to the schema import/export process being limited in its ability to preserve the BLOB size changes being dynamically set in the db. An enhancement has been added to make meaningful use of reported blob sizes (DB2 LUW and DB2 z/OS).

Resolved Revalidate and Save freeze
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
After upgrade, running revalidate and save on imported rules with the option "During Update Move To?" enabled, the first rule was processed but the process then stopped and generated the error "Uncaught TypeError: parentRow.all is not a function" if the Google Chrome or Mozilla browser is used. This problem was caused by old non-auto-generated controls, and has been resolved by modifying the ShowBulkUpdateList html section.
