Case Wide Actions do not trigger assignment arrow mark to progress
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Given a case type with two assignments in first stage, if the first assignment is completed and then a case-wide action is performed before beginning the second assignment, the the chevron arrow mark was shown pointing to the second assignment even though the user was performing a case-wide action. This was traced to the activity pzLoadStageStatusDP step 10 java step where pxFlow page is taken from the pyWorkPage and the pyLastFlowStep property holds the next step that will be performed. As pxFlow holds the flow parameters of current flow being performed, pxIsCurrent ends up set on the wrong step. To resolve this, a "when" condition has been added in the pyStageStepList section for the arrow mark to be visible only if it is not case-wide local action.

Step staus fail logic updated to handle agent activity exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Attempting to execute an advanced agent containing logic that set a step status to fail resulted in the error "Agent activity disabled due to execution errors; ErrorMsg: unable to execute agent: Cannot obtain a lock on instance as Requestor already has the lock ". This was traced to a backwards compatibility issue with previous work done to handle cases where agent activity requires authentication and agent has "bypass auth" flag set to false. Agent activity is not allowed to execute by the engine, and to show this scenario as exception case instead of showing it as running in admin studio, changes were made to rely on step status as the engine internally sets step status to false in this case. However, this inadvertently affected use cases where agent activity sets the status as fail in its logic. To resolve this, the system has been updated to handle the exception case and not consider StepStatus.

Null archive check added to set import process status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After running a 'prpcServiceUtils.sh import' which failed due to a low-level null pointer error, the job "IMPORTREQUEST-2" then incorrectly showed the status as 'IN PROGRESS' instead of 'FAILED'. In this case, the null pointer exception occurred because two imports were unintentionally happening at the same time: the process copied up the same set of archives to the service export directory, but the first import processed an archive and deleted it so that the second process failed to find it. When it exited with the null pointer exception, the status was not set to 'failed'. To resolve this, a null archive check has been added which will set the status to 'failed' if the archive is unsupported, corrupt, or not there at all.

GetChildcases handling updated for large numbers of cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a very high number of child cases being processed contained a wait shape that was dependent on the movement of a parent case, some of the cases were moved to the next step of the flow automatically while others required a manual command to ResumeFlow. In extreme cases where many child cases were waiting, a node crash could occur. This was traced to the pzGetChildcases report having a maximum value of 500 lines, and has been resolved by increasing the maximum number of rows to retrieve to 9999 in the Data Access Tab of the pzGetChildCases report definition. In addition, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified to perform with a higher number of cases, and DSS(MaxRecords) logic has been added to split the child cases into multiple queue items for each access group to decrease load on each thread process.

Uncommitted hotfix able to Rollback All after install
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A security hotfix was installed through Hotfix manager and left as uncommitted. When new hotfixes for the same files were received, the process required the uncommitted hotfixes to be rolled back, but attempting to do so generated exceptions in the logs reading "Exception in rolling back the archive PegaRULES Process Commander: code: 0 SQLState: Message: java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (PRPC_RULE_ADM_P7.PR_ENGINECLASSES_PK) violated". The issue was caused by the Date field only accepting dd/mm/yyyy HH:MI:SS, so attempting to insert two records of the same jar in the pr_engineclass generated this error from pr_data_restore in Oracle. To resolve this, an update has been made to insert rolled-back jar removals with their original patch date to avoid PK conflicts.

Handling added to avoid incorrect true value for DateTimeisPastOrFuture
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When the Function pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture() was called with the arguments "" (the empty String) and "false", it sometimes returned "true" instead of "false". This function internally calls the Function CompareDates() which takes two Strings as arguments. In this case, one is provided by the caller of pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture, the other one is generated at runtime, as the current date/time. As the second argument of pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture, the generated date/time will be the first parameter, while the second one is the date/time argument for pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture. If that argument is the empty String, is will be replaced by the current date/time. This means that the value for the second parameter is determined after the first parameter and that can result in a gap in time by a few milliseconds. This in turn results in "true" as the return value for pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture. This has been resolved by adding handling for a blank string so "false" is returned correctly.

Improvements for dirty popup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Multiple issues have been addressed for dirty popups. 1) While working on an assignment, making a change and then clicking on the left navigation (Home, Dashboard) did not show the dirty pop up as expected, and the change was lost. The dirty pop up did appear on the Cancel button and Actions within the case. This has been resolved by improving the context switching for visibility of the dirty pop up. 2) Attempting to work around the previous issue by clicking "Do not display dirty warnings" only worked the first time it was tried. With this change in place, opening the assignment, making a change, then clicking Home, caused the pop up to appear as desired, but opening the assignment again and making a change, then clicking Home again did not prompt the dirty pop up. This was due to the click handler getting hit twice, leading to the already open dirty dialog being closed during the second call to the function 'isFormDirty' in pzpega_ui_doc_actionRouter.js file, and this has been resolved. 3) When attempting to close the case as a draft, clicking the save button caused the system to keep loading for a few minutes without sign of completing the save process and eventually the browser had to be closed. The content was saved, but the system was not able end the loading screen. This was caused by an incorrect harness context which caused the "SubmitInProgress" flag to be true on the incorrect harness context so the modal was not dismissed. To resolve this, on clicking the "Save" button, after the confirmation modal is closed, the pega.u.d.isDirtyDialogOpen will be reset to false.
