SQL queries modified to use qualified table references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Portal launch in the development environment was taking an excessive amount of time, as were some standard reports. The PurgeAssemplyDatabaseCache agent activity also generated an error regarding "(internal.cache.RAPurge) ERROR - Purge, unexpected error in removeOldAppCentricCacheData". These issues were traced to SQL queries that contained pr_sys_app_hierarchy_flat without a schema qualifier, and have been resolved by changing to class qualified table references.

Time-related RUFs now use operator's time zone
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Date properties and Time properties were taking their reference from the server's default time zone, which created unexpected behaviors for operators in other time zones using start and end date functions. This has been resolved by updating the time-related RUFs to use the operator's defined time zone

Creation and testing corrected for ATOM server connection using Alfresco 4.2
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When creating a new ATOM Server instance with Alfresco 4.2, an error was logged and shown on the screen. This process worked with Alfresco 4.0. In the process of upgrading openCMIS jars, Atom and SOAP server connectivity tests were also changed to use HTTP, and Atom Server connectivity tests should now work for all versions of Alfresco.

Localization added for currency values using commas vs decimal points
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Excel within PRPC was not properly localizing for the use of decimal and comma as thousand and decimal separators for decimal/double currency property values, a use that is common in non-English installations. The records editor has been changed to support localization for properties of type double and decimal.

ClassName retrieved from rule definition when root record comes from primary page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
A When rule with single condition .DateProp >= .DateTimeProp was returning true when DateProp was set to a certain date & DateTimeProp was set to a date after DateProp. This was expected to return false. Investigation showed this was a missed use-case for property expressions where the root record came from the Primary Page, and was traced to an issue with the values being converted to String and the class not being set properly when the IL Assembler was used to resolve the Primary.IntegerProp's type. This has been resolved by returning the pyClassName retrieved from the rule definition page.

DSS added to rpevent logging of sensitive data used as input during async batch task processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When running Async Batch Task Processing, the whole set of inputs was logged when an error occurred during ADP load. Because this might result in sensitive data such as SSN, DOB, IDs, etc, being included in the debugging output, a DSS has now been added which when set will avoid printing any sensitive information in the log.

Timeout check added to authorization to preserve portal context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using SAML SSO Authentication Service with "Use access group timeout" and "Redirect to IDP login after logout" selected and "Force authentication" not selected, manually logging out correctly returned the view to the custom SSO login page but the timeout logout returned the default Pega login page as if SSO was not in use. Analysis showed there was a "Failed to open portal" error after doing some action post timeout, and this was traced to pyPortal page not having a value. Investigation showed this was blank due to the creation of new thread while the requestor state was perceived as unauthenticated because of the timeout. To resolve this, a timeout check has been added to the following: Authorization#setActiveAccessGroup(java.lang.String, boolean, boolean, java.util.Map) BasicApplicationContextImmutableImpl#applyApplicationProperties

Added fallback keyinfo handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a SAML assertion response is received in the authentication activity, an error indicated the KeyInfo was missing in the signature. This was caused by a lack of redundancy in the keyinfo handling that caused an exception when keyinfo was not included in the SAML response. Support has now been added to check the certificate in the truststore where the certificate from IDP metadata would have been imported, and there is an added null check in the debug logs.

Authentication requirement updated for CallConnector
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, invoking a REST API call during SSO login which eventually called pxCallConnector (Final Activity) in @baseclass Pega-RulesEngine failed at the CallConnector step. This was caused by a change in recent Pega versions which enabled authentication for this activity, and has been resolved by marking the activity as internal and disabling the authentication requirement.
