DB2 DateTime conversion fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After inserting date values in DB2, using the select command and retrieving the above date values using RDB-List returned the date as one day earlier. The root cause of this issue was the logic used for reading and writing date columns in DB2. The logic was implemented in order to ensure that the values in the column were both saved and retrieved in GMT time zone. However, when a java.sql.Date object was retrieved from the JDBC metadata, it was returned as the date value at the time of Midnight, and the time zone was set to the local time zone by the metadata (instead of the expected GMT time zone). When preparing to return this value, the Date object was formatted with reference to GMT, which causes the Date object to have an hour subtracted and report a date value that was one day less than expected. To fix this, the datetime logic for the Date columns has been modified to use a DateFormat object in the system's local time zone.

CreateVersion rule updated for REST Integration Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using a JSON response in the Create REST Integration wizard to generate the rules, the wizard displayed a null pointer exception during the final generation. The error pop up message "Generation process has been canceled and all created records have been removed" was displayed on the screen. This was traced to the REST Integration Wizard putting data rules in the wrong ruleset version when the context of both the Integration Layer and the Data Layer were configured to use an existing ruleset and to create a new version of that ruleset, and has been resolved by modifying the pzCreateVersion rule to support this.

Corrected handling for properties in XML rule
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using properties mapped on the root element of an XML SOAP rule, the attributes were mapped properly but the element value was not. In a related error, after giving ParseXML rule invocation values for Type Substitution for Parse XML, the XML was not mapped to the clipboard for the type substituted elements. There was a workaround of using DSS 'switchtooldassembler', but this has been fixed by updating parsexmlsaxrulewrapper.

Added pause after Library Extraction to ensure Rule-Utility-Functions are present
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, nodes were not starting and the error "pub.context.InitializationFailedError: PRNodeImpl init failed" appeared. This was traced to an issue with the pzSharedTenant rule: when pzSharedTenant (Rule Access When) is assembled by the system, it uses the compareTwoValues Rule-Utility-Function. If the system is not able to find the correct version of compareTwoValues, it adds an UnresolvedAssemblyError in the assembly of the pzSharedTenant, causing the startup failure. This has been resolved by adding an await call after the LibraryExtraction task to wait for it to complete. This wait will ensure that the library extraction task completes before starting the search task which uses Rule-Utility-Functions

The getRepository operation succeeded when using SOAPUI or Apache Chemistry CMIS client Workbench. This was a defect with the particular CMIS library version included with Pega 7.1.7, and has been corrected by updating to a revised version.

Encoded handling for Chinese characters in SOAP
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Signature verification failed when a SOAP message contained multibyte Chinese characters. This was due to the engine passing platform specific request bytes instead of sending UTF bytes to the third party metro webservices code when signature is enabled. The JAR encoding has been modified to use the style it gets in the request in order to bypass third party platform decisions.

Extraneous 'save changes' popup removed from PDF viewer
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A popup asking "Do you want to save changes to pdf before closing" was appearing when closing an unmodified PDF generated from PRPC using the concatenateEforms feature. This was caused by an unneeded appearance setting, which has been removed.

Added logic for base class missing a hyphen
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using connector and Metadata Wizard, if a base class was provided that doesn't end with '-', then the generated class name were appended into the base class name. To correct this, logic has been added to append a hyphen to baseclass if one is not present.
