Resolved Issues

Help information updated for using Elastic Search with Report Definition

The support article "Configuring a report definition to run against an Elasticsearch index" has been updated to clarify that the search can pass multiple values with a space in pySearchString as it does OR operation on all the fields, and that filters in the report definition will be used when executing the report directly or when calling the report in the pxRetrieveSearchData activity. https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/system-administration/85/configuring-report-definition-run-against-elasticsearch-index

Behavior reset for using getLocalizedValue with an input string containing parentheses

After upgrade, the getLocalizedValue function was not returning any value if the input string contained parentheses. This was a difference in behavior caused by a missed use case when correcting another issue, and has been resolved by resetting the system to the previous behavior of getLocalizedValue returning a localized string in cases where a Field value/Rule message is present, or otherwise returning the exact input string.

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).

Interaction History properly saved when running strategy on a different data flow

Customized Interaction History properties that had been added to pyInteractionHistoryConfiguration and pyDefaultWorkingSet and saved into the PR_DATA_IH_FACT table were not being saved properly after upgrading from 7.3 to 8.3. This was a missed use case and has been resolved.

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.
