Addressed XML handling for "Expand Java Pages"
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After upgrading, an IOException occurred while updating a work object if "Expand Java Pages" was unchecked in General options -> Tracer Settings. When the checkbox is enabled, the Javaobject wrapper uses its custom read/write methods to serialize the page. When unchecked, default serialization invoked the ParseXMLSAXRulWrapper.java which contained some properties which are not Serializable. In order to ensure proper XML handling, changes were made to XMLStream.java so the code flow is independent of the expand java pages option in tracer and always takes the custom serialization path.

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.

Logic updated to correctly tally requests that bypass authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The logic used by the usage summary report to capture service invocation was not updated when the code was changed to bypass authentication for some service requests: if authentication was disabled, the request was treated as authenticated and was not correctly reported in the service invocation total of the SOAP usage summary report. To correct this and report accurate transactions, the system now resets the authentication flag for stateless unauthenticated requestors at the end of service invocation so that usage tracking is correctly recorded.

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.

Fixed FCM access for remote work item attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using FCM to access remote work item via find by ID, attempting to open the history / attachments popup generated a green tick (success but no content) on the first attempt and the error "Failed to find a 'RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY' with the name 'HISTORYANDATTACHMENTS' that applies to '@baseclass'" on subsequent attempts. "the operation completed successfully, but returned no content". The issue only happened when first logging on and searching for a work item and did not occur if the tab was closed and the same work item reopened. This was caused by the prgateway sending an HTTP request where the Pega thread name in the URL was stripped of a slash, triggering the creation of a brand new Pega thread where expected pages were missing. To resolve this, the code has been updated to correctly maintain slashes and add them if necessary.

Auto-resize parameters added to Pega Image Viewer
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a large TIFF image (over 2,000 x2,000 pixels in size) was loaded into the Pega Image Viewer control embedded into any section, both horizontal and vertical scroll bars appeared and the Fit-To-Width button of the control needed to be clicked to scale down the image enough to eliminate the scroll bars. In order to smooth image display, the system now provides image size initialization during startup using a parameter 'ImageSize' in the HTML which accepts three strings: Normal, BestFit, or FitWidth.

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 8.6.3
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.

Stream XML generation and runtime handling enhanced for optional nodes in schema
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a stream rule was executed using connect-SOAP and blank data was passed from the UI, a tag corresponding to the XML element marked as optional was being generated. This resulted in those optional properties being unexpectedly created in source systems. To change this, the generation of the Stream XML rule has been enhanced such that at runtime it ignores optional nodes/attributes mapped to properties which do not exist or which have an empty value. NOTE: this new behavior in Stream XML rule generation is effective only with the below DSS configuration (to avoid backward compatibility issues ): Owning Ruleset : Pega-IntegrationEngine Purpose : StreamXML/DetectEmptyProperties Value : true
