Resolved Issues

Repository Delete API updated for better use with cloud storage

Previously, the Repository Delete API immediately checked if a file existed after attempting to delete it. When deleting files in S3, the file may not be immediately removed: due to S3's eventual consistency policy, the file could still exist at the time Pega was attempting to verify the deletion but be "deleted" according to Amazon. This caused a false alert that the file deletion was unsuccessful, leading to alert emails being sent and the Manifest file not being created, and in some cases generating an exception. To resolve this issue, the logic in Repository Delete that checked if file existed after attempting to delete it has been removed.

Added when check for Strategy and Event Strategy to preserve pagelist property

When editing a test case that has been built from a strategy, clicking on the 'add properties' link in the side panel was not working. This was traced to the strategy rule being loaded each time while the data page is only loaded once per session, and has been resolved by adding a 'when' condition to the Strategy and Event Strategy rule that will check for the existence of an embedded page before the pagelist property which displays results is removed.

When no active document is available on login, first document will be marked active

After logging into the user portal, attempting to perform operations like (opening a case/work object, opening reports etc.) caused the browser request to spin or freeze. The only way to recover was to close and re-launch the browser window/session and re-login. This issue occurred when there was an active reportdefinition document before the browser/node crash in the tabless dynamic container(DC) portal. After recovery, the dynamic container did not recreate the report definition document but instead tried to activate the first document in the portal, which in this case was the default harness configured in the Dynamic Container. As it was not yet loaded, exceptions were thrown. To resolve this, when no active document is available, the first document will be marked as the active document.

Corrected grey area seen when dragging tabbed layout Smartinfo scroll

When using Show Smartinfo in a tabbed layout group, a grey area was seen in the harness while scrolling. Scrolling up so that Smartinfo was out of view port caused another scroll bar to seen: one scrollbar was attached to the workarea div and the other to the body, and the gray area issue was only reproducible when explicitly dragging the (second) scrollbar attached to the body. To resolve this, if the popup is below the viewport using Smartinfo and the height calculated is negative, then the popup's height will be set to 0px.

JavaILCompiler updated to skip a type convert when generating code for a ternary operation

A compilation error was generated when attempting to save a Data Transform with a java expression giving the ternary as boolean. In this case, the pyWorkPage.Channel was set to  @java("tools.findPage(\"TempInputAccelPage\").getProperty(\"Channel\").getMessageCount()>0") ? "" : pyWorkPage.Channel.

The system previously used EL code generation, which had a gap which allowed such expression to work. Since the system now uses IL code generation, this expression failed. In order to ensure backwards compatibility, logic has been added to  JavaILCompiler to skip a type convert when generating code for a ternary operation where the source is ILProgramText (java expression).

Force order added to inner join when running a Rules Resolution filter

After upgrade, D_getResolvedWorkStatuses was not loading properly due to a Report Definition that used a Filter by Rule Resolution option timing out on the SQL Server. When the Filter by Rule Resolution option is selected in Report Definition, it will generate a rule resolution query with an inner join which can cause a time out on the SQL Server while it tries to find out the join order for tables with multiple joins. To resolve this, the SQL server will provide a Force order, merge inner join hint option by way of an added DSS reporting/useForceOrderHint. Additionally, reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery should be set on Pega-Reporting to set things up for using the Merge Inner join hint in the query.

UIKit 12 updated to ensure data pages are cleared when switching applications

When using UIKit 12, switching applications without logging off resulted in the 'Recent reports' list and Public Category containing reports and folders that belonged to the previous application. Investigation showed that the pyCMReportBrowserHeader function in UIKit 12 did not include the custom control "pzRBIncludes7", which clears the data pages. This has now been added to ensure that report browser data pages are now automatically cleared on app switch.

Dirty check added to offer save/discard changes when closing tab

With the OOTB section enabled, performing a change in the form (changing a text value, selecting a option in a dropdown, etc.) and closing the case generated an unexpected alert indicating that the case was changed and the modifications were lost. This differs from the previous behavior of showing the section pyDirtyCheckConfirm which offered the opportunity to save the work. This was a missed use case and has been resolved by updating the system to perform a check for the dirty state when closing the interaction and show a modal dialog asking the user to choose either save/discard if dirty.

Page group use added to referenced properties context for RDL

After upgrade, a stack mismatch error was generated by a previously-working configuration that used a nested RDL with a section under Work- class that itself contained an RDL with Data- property that then included a section from Data -- class which contained another RDL that referred to the Work- Page Group. This error was caused by the use case of page group being missed during implementation of referenced properties in ContextProcessor processListNode, which has now been resolved.
