pxIdentifier dynamically set for DecisionData while using GOS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When using a Decision Data component in a strategy which was wrapped with Globally Optimized Strategy (GOS), no results were generated from the DataJoin shape under optimized execution. Investigation showed this was caused by a missing .pxIdentifier for the DecisionData shape during GOS execution. There was a workaround of unselecting the checkbox on the Advanced tab in the Decision Data component, but this has been resolved by updating the strategy kernel service so it will dynamically construct the pxIdentifier based on the skills assignment module (SSA).

Value Finder updated for use with external Cassandra nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attempting to use the Value Finder feature resulted in the error "Running Simulation is not possible because the required services are not available. Contact your System Administrator to enable the data flow and decisioning data store services." Analysis traced this to a check which identifies whether there is more than one internal node available for CDH/ DSS node. Since there were only external nodes available in this scenario and no internal nodes, the method returned false and returned the error when the CDH / VF page was launched. To resolve this, the check has been modified to allow for external Cassandra.

FilterHistory decision tree used for audit log status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Attempting to use the “FilterHistory” decision tree in the work class to return value “false” for “pyCloseOpenAssignmentsOnResolution” to hide the “pyCloseOpenAssignmentsOnResolution” field value (“Unfinished assignments were cleaned up by the system after the completion.. ”) from history was not working as expected, and still returned the audit message. This was due to the system setting this AuditNote parameter within the “pzProcessResolutionStage” activity, where Param.UpdateHistory was set to true always. In order to support more flexibility, the Param.updateHistory paramter in step3 of the pzProcessResolutionStage activity will be set based on the FilterHistory decision tree. When set to false in FilterHistory decision tree, pyCloseOpenAssignmentsOnResolution will be set as false and audit will not be logged.

Documentation updated for accents and special characters used in search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The "Pega search API" article has been updated to reflect that the search functionality in Pega Platform does not match accented words with unaccented. For example, searching for santé and sante will retrieve different results. In addition, Domain Specific Language (DSL) includes special characters for use when searching, for example '-', '_', '!', '@'. However, the system retrieves various results depending on the way the special characters are used in the search query. If the query contains special characters that are not escaped, the system may retrieve incorrect results. For example, not escaping the slash mark in the 25/02 query may cause the system to ignore the special character.

Handling added for missing div when opening work object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In mobile offline app, opening a work object in a specific scenario for the second time resulted in an endless busy indicator. It was not possible to navigate away, and the app had to be closed and reopened to continue. Investigation showed that some app sections had an action that tried to load a harness section where one specific div was missing, and this has been resolved by updating reloadSectionOSCOHandler to handle the missing div in the failure callback. Additionally a console.error() will appear for the missing section.

Handling added for declare expression targets when harnessid is null
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Client expression calculation was not happening in Perform harness. Research showed that whenever text input calculations happened, the expression_calculation js setTargetValuesSuccess function was called but the elementList parameter was passed as null due to the inputHarnessId parameter being undefined. This has been resolved.

Admin Studio will consider cluster protocol when returning listener status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using a few nodes in standalone mode for BIX extract combined with server nodes using Hazelcast, opening the admin studio pages with service discovery caused an error to be thrown. This was traced to the system writing an entry to pr_sys_statusnodes table as an embedded node whenever a BIX extract was triggered, causing those standalone nodes to be incorrectly considered by the listener landing page. This has been resolved by configuring the system to either return the local member when the cluster protocol is standalone or to return all Hazelcast members if the cluster protocol is Hazelcast.

Documentation updated for using Connect MQ with clustered queues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update to Pega Platform v8.6, an issue was seen with Connect MQ rules that used an alias queue. The support documentation has been revised to outline the necessary steps for updating an application to perform as expected. In the Pega-IntegrationEngine ruleset, create the following dynamic system settings and their default values: "mq/pmo" = 0 "mq/gmo" = 0 "mq/oo_request" = 1040 "mq/oo_response" = 16 For more information, dynamic system setting support articles are available.

SQL queries modified to use qualified table references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Portal launch in the development environment was taking an excessive amount of time, as were some standard reports. The PurgeAssemplyDatabaseCache agent activity also generated an error regarding "(internal.cache.RAPurge) ERROR - Purge, unexpected error in removeOldAppCentricCacheData". These issues were traced to SQL queries that contained pr_sys_app_hierarchy_flat without a schema qualifier, and have been resolved by changing to class qualified table references.
