Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Withdraw task notification uses correct email sender
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When withdrawing a Task, the withdraw email was sent from the default email box instead of the expected Application default email box. This was traced to the 'pyTaskDeleted' (notification name for withdraw task) value not being present, which meant the system fell back to the task 'pyTaskAssigned' notification name. To resolve this, an update has been made to have pyIsPulseNotificationDefinition return true for a pyTaskDeleted notification.

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.

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.

Help updated to explain When Rule "ALL" Evaluation behavior
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
A 'when' rule evaluating all pages in page list will only evaluate the properties on pages in the list that contain that property. This may cause a "true" result that does not match customer expectations. The hover help has been clarified to explicitly state that the evaluation results apply only for those pagelist entries where the property exists and not for all the page list entries.

Resolved performance issues when R-D-E referenced a data page
Resolved in Pega Version Pega Platform, Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
If a declare expression referenced a data page, loading or refreshing a section in update mode caused Rule-Declare-Expression to check whether inputs had changed. The R-D-E then loaded the data page (but didn't pass any parameters), causing the data page to load the max number of pages allowed. Subequently, a series of other R-D-Es fired on that data page as inputs had changed, ending up with a large number of R-D-E's firing that weren't required for a section. As a result, the elapsed time was higher than expected for every screen where this was happening and CPU consumption was high. Auto Population should only trigger on reference to a non-key and non-param property, and this has been implemented.

Improved handling for multiple access 'when' in business event processing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
It was possible to encounter a missing page in the business event processing if event processing performed a call to tools.getThread().getAuthorization().haveAccess in multiple activities and there were several access 'when' actions defined for the class. The access 'when' requires that a work page be present to evaluate against, and depending on how the call was being performed or if passivation has occurred the process could throw an IndeterminateConditionalException and pass a null as parameter value for "aPage" parameter. To prevent this error, the activities pxCreateSummary and pxGetPrimaryClasses have been changed to pass the ClipboardPage of class for which haveAccess() is being called.
