Report definition performance improvement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Performance issues were seen with the pzOperatorsByWorkGroup report definition. This was traced to the report definition is adding an UPPER function for edit filter properties which caused it to take more time to run when combined with an ignore case check in the filters of the Report Definition. This has been corrected.

Validation on DateTime property working for mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A mandatory DateTime field with "Allow text entry" set to 'No' was not restricting validation when no value was provided. This was an unintended consequence of recent work done to validate input type date along with input type hidden, and has been reverted.

Improvements for Offer Eligibility rules loading time
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After opening the Proposition filter/Action rule and clicking on Add Criteria, the pxAnyPicker drop down load was taking an excessive amount of time. Performance improvements have been made by adding a precondition at step 2 to avoid data page refresh for specific scenarios when it is not required.

Corrected layout refresh for grid state page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When the condition builder had an empty row, on submit an error was displayed as expected. However, attempting to delete the empty row resulted in an exception. Investigation showed that the layout refresh was causing the grid state page to get deleted upon submission of the modal. This has been resolved.

Predictor handling updated for Versioning Adaptive Model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When attempting to update an adaptive model in a branch after it had been versioned, errors were observed on Predictor Type data that had not changed from the previous version. This was traced to an issue in the Adaptive Model rule UI in both Prediction and Dev Studio where if a non-default predictor type is selected, it would show in the UI but not be saved to the database. No error was shown. This silently led to the unexpected and incorrect data being stored with the result that once data had accrued, the rule could not be saved/saved-as due to validation believing the predictor type of a predictor with data was changing. To resolve this, rules have been updated so that the system will no longer override the predictor type of a predictor being edited when it is solely the predictor type that is changing.

Identifier property added for worklist with filter by format
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After configuring a Grid layout which displayed a users worklist, one of the properties representing the column in Grid had the property type as boolean. The property was derived from another report definition in the main report and a join was performed to display the property. Investigation showed that the filter for Boolean column did not show any filter values like ( [No Value, Y,N ) when run through a case Manager Portal, however the Boolean Column filter worked when run through Report Definition. Other properties from the same class that were not boolean worked with the filter. This was traced to the WorkListWidgetGridsAuto being set to Optimize code, causing filter by format to not be visible in the column properties of pxPages. To resolve this, code has been added for the identifier property

DSS added to control DADT purge
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Thread dumps and service restarts were seen when Decision Engine data nodes were working with a very large number of tables. This has been resolved by adding a DSS as part of the CDH layer which will skip CDH DADT that contains pattern DATA_BATCHOUT, for instance "DATA-ADMIN-DB-TABLE DATA-BATCHOUTPR469001" to prevent the deletion causing full cache invalidation of the table information map. With this DSS set to true, when the purge agent runs and deletes the DADT, class cache should no longer be invalidated. With the DSS missing or set to a value other than true, the class cache invalidation will still occur.

Added handling for DSM Services stuck in leaving status after database outage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
During a database outage, the heartbeat would fail and DSM services would eventually try to enter safe mode and stop. As the first step they would try to change the state to LEAVING, but because the database was down saving the LEAVING state failed and the exception was not handled correctly. This resulted in the rest of the stop operation logic not being executed and the service being stuck in LEAVING. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure the service goes to LEAVING_FAILED if anything fails during the stop operation including when setting state to LEAVING_FAILED. The state LEAVING_FAILED will get flushed to the database eventually when it comes back up. This will allow the aggregation service to start from the LEAVING_FAILED state and recover by itself after a database outage.

Added support for imported rules to populate bixreportpage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Extract rules were not holding the filter criteria after upgrade while performing save-as (for the first time) of the imported rules from the previous version. Criteria were held when the filters were created in the new version. This was caused by BIX extracts created in earlier releases (7.x) not having bixreportpage included. When an environment was upgraded to 8.x versions, opening an extract required the bixreportpage to be populated with RD metadata including the filters defined in the actual extract. Although the filters from the original extract were converted to filters that are acceptable by ReportDefinition, they were not being added to bixreportpage on opening the extract. To resolve this, the system has been updated to copy the filters back to bixreportpage on opening the extract in the upgraded environment.

Null check added for debug logging pointer error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When DEBUG logging was enabled on the class 'com.pega.pegarules.session.internal.mgmt.base.AbstractPageDirectory', system restart resulted in the node failing to startup with a null pointer error in a debug block of this class. A null check has been added to resolve this.
