Decision Management book updated for additional NLP troubleshooting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Troubleshooting articles have been added to the Decision Management book which address the most common issues encountered when working with the NLP capability of Pega Platform, including topic and entity detection and email parser. These tips can assist with issues such as a node running out of memory due to having a large number of custom Ruta scripts that use REGEX pattern matching.

Delayed Learning works correctly with Volume Constraints
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When running an outbound campaign using NBA Designers predictions and delayed learning in conjunction with volume constraints, the adaptive models ended up with incorrect feedback if the prediction had an Alternative label configured with a defined waiting window. This has been resolved with the addition of a new flag 'isVolumeConstraintEnabled' during dataflow creation which will check for volume constraint, and a filter in HandleResponses for that flag.

Hidden subprocess steps highlighted in screen flow navigation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When a subflow was used as a last step within a screenflow and the subflow steps navigation links were hidden, the subprocess step was not highlighted as current. To correct this an update has been added that will highlight the circle on the navigation for a subprocess set as last step with substeps hidden, and the lines on the navigation step will be highlighted on the left side for a subprocess set as a step other than the last step and which has substeps hidden.

Multiple child case assignments open correctly in Ajax container
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
After configuring two cases with a parent-child relationship, the child case was configured with a parallel process with two assignments. When trying to open the child case assignments in an Ajax container, only the first assignment would open. Investigation showed this was caused by the "reloadAlways" parameter not being sent to openAssignment due to a custom control being used. To resolve this, the reloadAlways has been added as an argument to the OpenAssignment function call in pyAssignmentsLabel.

Decimal parameters retain null value instead of being set to 0
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When mapping any data in 8.6+, if the source is a decimal property rule and the target is a parameter defined as decimal, the decimal parameter's value will be 0 if the source property is null. This was a behavior change from previous versions of Pega where the target parameter would be null. This has been resolved by changing the code generation for the read operation on the parameter decimal type assignment to use resolveToString() instead of calling resolveToBigDecimal() so a null value is retained.

Modified batch requestor handling to ensure cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
A large buildup of batch requestors was seen, and restarting the node did not clear it. Investigation showed that in the case of one class reading a DSS value, a Pega requestor was being created when it was unable to retrieve any Pega context, and this requestor was not cleaned up afterwards. To resolve this, an update has been made to the way the requestor and Pega context is being created along with ensuring it will be cleaned up properly after use.

Currency Code updates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
A Section configured with an editable currency input using auto-formatting failed to render at runtime if configured using Type -> Number, Symbol -> Currency, Other currency, and Currency -> "USD". The error "Invalid Locale : USD" was logged. This was an unintended side effect of work done to configure currency codes for the Number control, and has been resolved by accounting for the locale settings and handling the condition for the error "Invalid local-USD" so that the the UI rendering appears as expected. In addition, when the Currency control was configured with editable mode "Editable" and "Display value using read-only formatting" checked, read-only formatting generation did not happen for the control. Entering a value and tabbing out caused the ReloadCell activity to return empty content, which resulted in the server returning full HTML markup with a message "Operation Successful". Because the ReloadCell activity handler expected only control markup with formatted value to be returned, the HTML markup containing inline CSS styles in it appeared in the Currency input field on tab out. There was a workaround of unchecking "Display value using read-only formatting" on the control's presentation tab, but this has been resolved by using Post value infrastructure to get the formatted value from the server.

Handling updated for social messaging items with very large embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Job scheduler was running out of memory while handling large/multiple files, causing nodes to crash while handling Social Messaging items. Inline images were also not being sent in the ACK email. Investigation traced this to a custom job scheduler and activity used to create PDFs from email communication and send the PDFs to a third-party system. This used the standard Email Triage/PegaSocial functionality for the emails, which were stored as instances of PegaSocial-Message. The custom Job scheduler and activity then leveraged the Data Page D_pxEmailPosts to retrieve the emails in order to harvest the text from the emails. The issue occurred when a number of the emails had multiple or large embedded images in them, meaning the PegaSocial-Message instances are very large. This resulted in the node running out of memory and crashing. To resolve this, code has been added to support inline images in ACK email and the complete message from Pulse will be used instead of the original message as the email body for the ACK email.

Added handling for Malaysian locale date/time
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When using the "ms_MY" locale for Malaysia, entering ‘14/02/2022 13:00’ in the displayed DateTime input field generated the error "14/02/2022 13:00 is not a valid date / time value." This was due to differences in the underlying Java version: in Java 8, the API PRDateFormat.getShortDateTimeFormat returns "dd/MM/yyyy h:mm" and the PRDateFormat.getAmPmStrings returns [AM, PM], but in Java 11, the API returns "d/MM/yyyy h:mm a" with PRDateFormat.getAmPmStrings returning [PG, PTG]. For the Malaysian locale ms_MY, the clock format is 12 hour and AM/PM Strings are PG, PTG. This caused environments running JDK11 to fail client side validation for date time when PTG (a 3-char AM/PM string) was selected. This has been resolved by adding handling for this usecase.

Navigation updated for checkbox control in table cell
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Keyboard-only navigation was not working correctly when there was a checkbox control in a table cell. This was traced to the manageFocus function in the pega_ui_templatizedGridComponent js file which was setting the tab index to -1 when the checkbox value was updated. This has been resolved by skipping the execution of this function for checkbox control to handle the case when escape is not pressed before tabbing to come out of the table when there is a checkbox control in a cell.
