Added handling for Create Source and Target properties of Date
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A report definition was not displaying results after update, and a stack overflow was reported. This was a missed use case for Create Source and Target properties of Date, and has been resolved by adding a boolean flag to avoid autochain during validations when data type is Date.

Resolved classcast exception with assembled HTML controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A classcast exception was being generated on login. Investigation showed the Static Assembler was unexpectedly using a different Assembler to assemble the Html control rule. Standard behavior is that StreamBuilderAssembler assembles controls of type StreamBuilder and ControlAssemblerForVTable assembles controls of type ControlBuilder. In this case, static assembly for HTML controls using VTable was performed using StreamBuilderAssembler, causing a classcast exception when using VTable because the instance of the generated.html class was incorrectly inheriting from StreamBuilder (the parent class of ControlBuilder) instead of ControlBuilder which is the specified interface in the generated.html Java code. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip rules of type 'Rule-HTML-Property'(control) during Static Assembly.

Zero-size attachments now included in correspondence
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using the Send Correspondence functionality, an attachment of zero size would be ignored and not included because it did not have any pyAttachStream property. Because there may be a business need to preserve the attachment name and include it anyway, the system has been updated to include and transmit a zero length attachment.

Archiving updated to include pxobjclass in CTE column list
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After enabling the case archival feature on a casetype, cases were getting stuck in the Archive-Ready state while being archived, and a 'column not found' error was seen. Investigation showed that the generated SQL statement used to retrieve the resolved case instances used a common table expression (CTE) whose columns were inskey, insclass, and parentinskey, and the query that referenced the CTE was attempting to compare the column pxobjclass when pxobjclass did not exist in the CTE's column list. To resolve this, the CTE column list has been updated to pzinskey, pxobjclass, and parentinskey to prevent the 'column not found error' from occurring, and the query that referenced the CTE was also updated to use the correct column names and aliases.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
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.

Class Loader cache values wrapped with WeakReference for improved cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
Out Of Memory exceptions due to Metaspace were observed on Web tier instances running with a max Metaspace size of 2GB. Investigation showed that in PRClassLoaderDB, mLoaderCache values were wrapped with a SoftReference. To resolve this, the Class Loader cache values will be wrapped with a WeakReference, allowing the cache to free memory when it is no longer needed. JVM options has also been added to switch types of References being used if there is a preference.

Enhancements added to assist in migrating truststore information to new clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
An installation working on development both in the system and with set of trust for Connectors defined inside Pega that were specific to the development server and SOAP endpoint desired to have all of the trust configurations migrated along with the code base when setting up additional environments. Problems occurred during certificate validation that prevented the desired use, but no useful error information was generated. In order to support this function, enhancements have been added to produce an informative exception error in the checkServerTrusted method of CompositeX509TrustManagerwhen a certificate is not trusted, and to ensure that the signer certificates and then each of its intermediate certificates in the certification path are imported to Pega?s IBM WebSphere JVM?s truststore and all WebSphere JVMs participating in SSL communication on the PRPC cluster.

Check added to minimize Obj-Open-By-Handle error logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
When using a Data Type with the "Automatically generate a unique id " option, calling the Save-DataPage method by using the savable data page of the data type finished correctly but showed Obj-Open-By-Handle errors on PegaRules.log. Investigation showed the exception was thrown when running the save plan from DataPageSaverImpl: while attempting to run the save plan, the system does not know whether a parameter (pyGUID in this case) will be required to run the save plan or not, meaning that it can't detect any possible error in DataPageSaverImpl. The implementation instead makes a call to db.open to check if an instance exists and hence logs are thrown. To resolve the error logging, a check has been added: if the save-to class has an autogen key and the savable data page instance doesn't have the autogen key in it, the system will directly call pxCreateRecord. This will avoid a call to db.open to check if instance exists and hence no failed logs will be thrown. This partial change will work only for classes having an autogen key and in cases where the page is trying to create a record by intentionally not passing the key.

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.
