Charts sourced from Report Definition show correct color post-update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, the color coding was not working on charts sourced from a report definition. This was due to the correct seriesType not being determined when function aliases were used in charts, and has been resolved by adding a condition in configuration.java to determine correct the SeriesType.

Resolved classcast exception with assembled HTML controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A classcast exception was being generated on login. Investigation showed the Static Assembler was unexpectedly using a different Assembler to assemble the Html control rule. Standard behavior is that StreamBuilderAssembler assembles controls of type StreamBuilder and ControlAssemblerForVTable assembles controls of type ControlBuilder. In this case, static assembly for HTML controls using VTable was performed using StreamBuilderAssembler, causing a classcast exception when using VTable because the instance of the generated.html class was incorrectly inheriting from StreamBuilder (the parent class of ControlBuilder) instead of ControlBuilder which is the specified interface in the generated.html Java code. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip rules of type 'Rule-HTML-Property'(control) during Static Assembly.

Unused DSS compiledExpressions now defaults to false
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.2 to Pega 8.5, executing a test campaign failed with an error in logs. This occurred when running Distribution tests with "Include funnel analysis reports" checked, and was traced to the DSS setting "decision/strategy/ssaVM/compiledExpressions". As this was previously used to toggle a feature which is no longer in use, the default setting for this DSS has now been changed to false to resolve this issue.

Tombstone cleanup modified to handle very large volume environments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Cassandra nodes were periodically suffering from an out of memory condition. This was traced to tumbling windows creating too many tombstones for Cassandra to clean up effectively when running in a very high volume environment with a short tumbling time. This has been resolved by modifying the procedure away from using individual tombstones to instead use range tombstones which will continuously supersede the previous tombstone so there is never an opportunity for them to build up.

New Application Wizard will default to existing work groups if none are created
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the new application wizard to create a new application, the new app API replaces the old work pools with the newly generated ones. If the new application configuration was done in such a way that classes are not generated due to reusing existing classes, access groups were being generated with empty work pools. To resolve this, the system has been updated to use the existing work pools if the new app didn't generate new work pools.

Added reporting on descendant classes for framework
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Reporting on descendant classes was not working as expected. In a report definition with "Reporting on descendant classes enabled," the framework class and implementation class each refers to two different tables that use the same names but belong to two different schemas. Investigation showed the generated SQL query was not adding the necessary UNION clause, and the records from the descendant classes were missing when running the report on framework class. This was a missed use case and has been corrected.

isFutureDate edit validation fires correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The date value entered was not getting converted to the user-specific time zone and resulted in an incorrect value for validation when using isFutureDate. This has been resolved by adding an update which will convert the date value to the specific time zone before comparing it with the current date.

CORS DSS settings corrected for Constellation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After moving to the new HIPPA edition, the developer work area in Constellation appeared as blank under Channel-Portal-Landing Pages. This was traced to a DSS setting issue when using cross-origin resource sharing (CORS), and has been resolved.

Offline ExpressionEvaluator documentation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When working offline, issues may been seen due to the == operator in JavaScript returning true if any 'false' value, e.g. "0", empty string, or "false" is used for comparison, leading to the expression false == "" to return as true. While a solution is in process, the documentation for the Offline ExpressionEvaluator has been updated to reflect this use case may create unexpected behavior in an offline data transform, and outlines the workaround of not using words like "Yes", "No", "false", "true" or 1 0 values.
