Explicit connectivity close added to Queue Manager error handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Performing a connectivity test on the MQ Connector page with an invalid queue name aborts the test connectivity but the MQ connection was not closing. This can become an issue when using IBM MQaaS (MQ as a service) where only a limited number of connections are allowed. This has been resolved by adding an explicit Queue Manager close in the error handling block.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

Updated handling for validating/saving circumstanced rule on branch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Using 'save as' for an already circumstanced rule with a new property/template caused the Rule-.DictionaryValidation activity to register the error "StandardValidate-CircumPropAlreadyDefined". The same activity Step did not throw an error when saving into Branch. This was traced to the ruleset name not being the same for the branch ruleset due to having _BRANCH_Branch-Name appended to its name, and has been resolved by adding a condition to check for circumstanced rule in a branch.

Oracle handling updated for primary key in upgrade DDL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Previously, when a primary key of a table was created Oracle would automatically create a unique index with the same name as the primary key. However, with the introduction of Oracle 19, an optimization was added which will not do that if there is another unique index on the table which contains the column(s) of the primary key. This difference can cause updates to fail with the error "cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key". This has been resolved by updating the handling for primary key constraint and the corresponding index name.

Parser updated for value list
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When attempting to process a JSON list using a File Data set that had a list attribute, the clipboard looked correct while performing the browse operation on the data set, but executing the data flow that referenced this data set resulted in the error "Expecting PageList and got String List". If this was changed to a text property, the browse operation on Data set failed but the data flow worked without any issues. and the values were copied into the text properties.This has been resolved by changing the parser for value list.

EnableRedirects property added for REST connections
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When implementing a connector with the header �Location� which contains a redirect URI, a 303 response code was expected. Instead, a 400 or 404 error was generated. It was not possible for developers to process the code per their logic in Activity as Connect REST processed 303 responses automatically - i.e. there was no intercept points to implement the suggested approach. To resolve this, the new property "Rule-Connect-REST.pyEnableRedirects" has been added along with a checkbox for the property in "Rule-Connect-REST.pyService" in "Connection" section. Logic has been added in RESTConnector.java to take value of this property and set it on the HTTPClient being used, and a method has been added to HTTPClient interface and ComponentsHTTPClient to use the new value being passed. The default behavior is the same for the REST Connector, but a client can uncheck a checkbox on the REST Connector ruleform to stop the HTTP client from automatically following any compatible 3xx responses.

Optimizing helper class enhanced to handle external databases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Running a BIX extract that included a manifest for a target database was resulting in a null pointer exception for the manifest extraction. Attempting to generate the DDL for the manifest table also failed. This was traced to an issue with the helper class using a hardcoded default database for forming the queries, causing it to ignore the database config/DADN/prconfig for the Oracle database and form a query using the PegaRules' database credentials. This only occurred when trying to do external database operations on a different database platform; Oracle PegaRules worked as expected with an Oracle external database and Postgres Pegarules worked with a Postgres external database, but mixing Postgres PegaRules and an Oracle external database would result in the null pointer exception. To resolve this, the helper class has been enhanced to work with external databases by passing the database name as a parameter so it will properly calculate the query based on the type of target. An error in the name of the class has also been corrected, and is now available as PerformanceHelper rather than the previous "PerformaneHelper".
