Smoothed Report Definition handling for missing or incorrect ObjClass
Resolved in Pega Version Pega Platform, Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In some situations, a Null Pointer Exception was being generated after a call to a report definition on the Report Content Page. This occurred when given a target results page with a missing or incorrect pxObjClass. The code has been modified to generate the error "Invalid Report Content Page" instead of the NPE if the ObjClass is incorrect, or to complete the processing if the ObjClass is empty.

Corrected locking for custom Access Roles
Resolved in Pega Version Pega Platform, Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
After adding a custom Access Role to an Object in the WO class with an Access When rule defined to allow opening a instance, Obj-Open-By-Handle failed to lock the work item correctly and two operators could have it open simultaneously. This was caused by the custom stack inheriting parent state for all members, and has been changed.

Handling added for empty back link in BLOB
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
A DirectStreamContainerV7 Exception (BLOB Corruption) was seen when opening a work object that expanded a certain property. This was traced to an empty back link present in the BLOB: during deserialization, the exception was thrown while trying to parse that empty back link. To resolved this, an update has been made which will parse the empty back link information properly.

Added Database query optimization and cache invalidation logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Web nodes were going down during deployment due to failed health checks. This was traced to queries firing even when there was no rule change, and was due to unnecessary cache invalidations. An update has been made which will optimize and analyze declarative database queries and capture diagnostic details on any invalidation of the declarative reference information cache.

Flow Action support tuned for MenuBar keyboard navigation
Resolved in Pega Version Pega Platform, Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Using the' MenuBar' setting to display the flow actions for pyActionArea was not working as expected with keyboard navigation within the "other actions" menu: the Up/Down keys moved the cursor, but pressing the Enter key did not fire any actions because a mouseclick was expected. An enhancement has been added to the logic to support an enter key event for menu items. In addition, the "other actions" menu was not accessible with keyboard navigation from the Resolve Flow action. This has been corrected.

Handling enhanced for custom system names
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
If the system.name property in setupDatabase.properties was updated to reflect a custom System Name during ruleset migration, the value was not being used by the software update process and the resulting error caused a batch failure. There was a workaround of explicitly setting the system name in the field env name="Identification/SystemName" value=, but this has been updated to fetch the name from the db. In addition, the query that fetches the system name has been modified with a check to make sure that there is at least one requestor for the name it fetches.

OptimizeForLargeResults flag set in BasicListSpecification to avoid OOM
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
As soon as dedicated indexing started for a data type, the JVM heap occupation went beyond 99 and eventually caused a system crash due to an out of memory error. This was traced to the use of the BasicListSpecification API for retrieving results from the database always having the autocommit mode on, which loaded all instances for indexing into memory and interfered with PostgreSQL's cursors (query encapsulation). This has been resolved by adding an OptimizeForLargeResults flag that will be set to on in the BasicListSpecification activity before fetching the keys from the database.
