Added accessibility to Report view context menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When on the My Reports screen and a Summary report is selected, the Report Viewer displays a Summarized Reports table with a column header that opens a command menu upon right-click of the mouse. This functionality is enabled in the Report Definition rule by selecting the checkbox Enable column command menu under the Report Viewer tab. Although keyboard users can open the menu via Shift+F10, keyboard users who cannot see the screen were not informed that this functionality is available as the screen reader did not announce this. This has been resolved.

Date field filtering changes maintained after logoff/login
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After hiding some date/time columns and logging off, when logging in again the filter overlay on the date/time columns were displayed differently. Initially the filter values were shown with the check boxes and a 'Choose Date' range drop down, but after the logoff and login search text was shown instead of the choose date range drop down. Investigation showed that the Datatype was not being captured correctly as part of ConstructGridHeaderMetaData function in GridUtilities.java file, which affected Date, DateTime, Integer & Decimal. This has been corrected.

Case Archive updated to better prune email and attachment metadata
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring pyPegaArchiver, pyPegaIndexer and pyPegaPurger to remove old cases, there were no records present in the pr_metadata table but the records related to Data-Corr-Email, Data-WorkAttach-File and Link-Attachment remained. As there is no harm in removing these entries because the system has already copied the reference to these attachments, the entry in pr_metadata can be removed without any issue. With this update, external and shared entries now get removed from pr_metadata table when a purge is performed, however they do not get removed from the target table.

Elasticsearch will split queries to avoid URL length limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Elastic Search Functionality was not working and showed the status as Offline. Investigation showed that when an external Elasticsearch setup had an index prefix length = 200 and a large number of dedicated indexes, the error "too_long_frame_exception, reason: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes" was generated. In this case, the system was working with approximately 87 dedicated indexes and the name for each of them was sent over the URL, resulting in this error message. This has been resolved by updating the system to split queries so as to not exceed the HTTP line limit in Elasticsearch.

Auto Complete working in Mobile Browser configuration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Autocomplete was not working in the mobile browser when logged in as a user and configured with display mode:"in-a-table" and "display as full screen in mobile" disabled. Autocomplete results will always display in List mode in the mobile browser, but with the configuration "in a table" selected and "Display results full screen on phone" unchecked, pzGetACData (which gets called for List mode) was not registered and returned a 403 response. To handle this, the conditions file ActionAssembly.java has been removed so pzGetACData will always be registered.

Simple button style updated to allow customization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
The Simple button style was not picking up the correct border style that was defined in the Skin rule when in the hover state. This was traced to the border radius value hard-coded in one of the custom files taking precedence over the value added for the border radius in the skin format. To resolve this, the simple button styles code has been removed from the controls.css file that had the border radius value hardcoded. The styles for simple button format will be configured in the skin, and a mixin has been added for modal buttons border styles that can be configured in the skin itself.

Corrected layout group overlapping content
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When an editable Table with Master Detail Edit has a section that contains a Layout group (Tab) inside the Master Detail Flow Action, if there are more layout group headings than that can be contained in the screen, a left and right arrow are displayed to toggle between headings in the layout group heading bar. However, timing issues sometimes caused the contents of the layout group to overlap on top of the content below the layout group and the screen was freezing with a loading icon. This was traced to console errors, and has been resolved by adding an 'undefined' check to prevent those errors.

Performance improvement for Application Save: Node Level Data Pages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
As part of new functionality introduced in 8.3, data types defined in the application record will be turned into data objects on Application save. As part of this process node level pages are invalidated and reloaded and there is an explicit commit that marks the Application record as dirty and sends any calls for the application record to the database for fresh records. In a multi-node environment, the number of queries to get the application record being saved became exponentially higher and performance impacts were seen. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip eager loading of the data page definition when an access rule or application definition is saved.
