Added handling for MS SQL datestamp format
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using an Microsoft SQL Server, the browse operation was failing with an SQL error for the pyIHSummary dataset. Investigation showed there were some datasets that generated SQL statements with a date timestamp format that SQL was not able to handle implicitly, affecting browsing but not functionality. This has been resolved.

ADMinputsource field population updated to handle transactional decisions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The CaptureResponse flow was failing while writing to AdaptiveAnalytics with the error "IllegalArgumentException - argument does not represent JSON object". This occurred while running an outbound campaign where a few decisions were treated as transactional and did not have Model executions. Attempting to set a response for these decisions resulted in a JSON parse exception being thrown due to pxADMInputs not being populated (no models executed). This occurred only when using transactional actions in CDH, and was caused by the system only including predictive models during the make decision flow due to common inputs not being stored. While there was a workaround of overriding the property pzADMInputSource to use modelReferences instead of admInputContainer, this has been resolved by correcting how the pzADMinputsource field is populated. When there is no modelInput, the system will not populate that field so the page is ignored.

Handling added for special characters in dataflow and mbean name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Exception errors from deleted email listeners were seen after server start-up. Investigation showed that when a dataflow stage name had a special character and that name was then used in the mbean name, it was failing to register. This has been resolved by escaping JMX key values if they contain special characters.

ComponentName fallback added for toggling page context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Whenever the External Strategy configuration was changed from "Another Page" to "Current Page", pyComponentName property was not being created. This was a missed use case for toggling page context for external substrategies in the user interface of the strategy designer, and has been resolved by setting pyComponentName to its default if reset when switching context.

Updated SimpleDateFormat to remove lenient parsing mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using File Dataset to ingest CSV files with the required Date format set as yyyyMMdd, an error was thrown if the date value provided in a file was in the format '14/04/1971', but a date format such as 14-04-1971 did not produce an error but instead was mapped to a Date value of 00131204. . This has been resolved by disabling the lenient mode of parsing in SimpleDateFormat.

Alternative pyLabel source for Auto-generated Proposition Filter added as fall back
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After using save-as to move an offer/action rule containing eligibility criteria into a new ruleset /branch, the criteria disappeared. Proposition Filter has an explicit dependency on relevant records, and in this scenario investigation revealed all of the relevant records had been previously deliberately deleted. Using save-as on auto-generated CDH rules like actions is also not a best practice. To better handle unexpected actions like these and avoid the hard dependency on Relevant Records, when creating the Proposition Filter via the programatic API the system will fall back to reading the label from the sourcePage if is not possible to get the label from Relevant Record.

Prediction outcome response timing updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Predictions using a response timeout were not emitting a negative response ('NoResponse') when the specified waiting time expired. This was traced to the the outcome and response timeout values being overridden while triggering responses for multi stage predictions along with chained predictions. This has been resolved by modifying the flow to emit each outcome as it is received and by adding the dataflow trigger in the function so that it does not override the values in case of chained predictions.

Updated entity attachment extraction tokenizers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After creating an entity extraction model, it was seen that one of the entities worked when there was a space after the semicolon but the detection was not working if there was no space. This has been resolved by updating the Tokenizers with extra examples to address tokenization when ":" is present between two words without any spaces.

ADM performance improvements and duplicate inputs corrected for delayed learning records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Additional work has been done to improve the performance for Adaptive Models used in multi-level decisioning, and an issue with duplicate pxCommonInputs has been resolved.
