Links to specifications persist appropriately
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When linking Rules to Specifications, check-ins of some unrelated rules deleted the link. Investigation showed the deletion happened in the pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn activity, and was caused by an empty parameter page name that caused pcInsKey to not have a value, so all links returned by "Obj-Browse" were later deleted. To resolve this, an update has been made to insure the "Pass current parameter page" option in step 2 of the Connect REST PostCheckIn activity is enabled so that the downstream activity pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn behaves as expected.

Performance improvements for stale thread warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Stale thread warnings were causing performance issues during dataflow run execution. Stale thread/slow component warnings are added as part of the dataflow execution when a processing thread takes more than 5 minutes to process a single dataflow record. The stacktrace of the dataflow thread is added as part of the warning for debugging purposes, but in some scenarios the stacktrace can become very large. This has been resolved by removing the stacktraces from the warning, improving the query logic, and adding the run ID to the exception method to assist if there is an error.

File Dataset wildcards updated for ADM storage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attempting to access the filepath was failing and an error was seen indicating "Could not obtain lock 'Create repository file pegacloudfilestorage:ADM/Rule-Decision-AdaptiveModel/Data-Decision-Request-Customer". While creating a file name, a lock is generated while checking the file names of existing files. If the file data set has a large number of files, a condition may occur where some threads are unable to save data and an exception is thrown. To resolve this, the wildcard previously used in the file name has been replaced with the Pega node id + thread id + current timestamp. This will ensure all wildcards are unique and there is no need to lock and list existing files.

Added accessibility to Report view context menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When on the My Reports screen and a Summary report is selected, the Report Viewer displays a Summarized Reports table with a column header that opens a command menu upon right-click of the mouse. This functionality is enabled in the Report Definition rule by selecting the checkbox Enable column command menu under the Report Viewer tab. Although keyboard users can open the menu via Shift+F10, keyboard users who cannot see the screen were not informed that this functionality is available as the screen reader did not announce this. This has been resolved.

Date field filtering changes maintained after logoff/login
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After hiding some date/time columns and logging off, when logging in again the filter overlay on the date/time columns were displayed differently. Initially the filter values were shown with the check boxes and a 'Choose Date' range drop down, but after the logoff and login search text was shown instead of the choose date range drop down. Investigation showed that the Datatype was not being captured correctly as part of ConstructGridHeaderMetaData function in GridUtilities.java file, which affected Date, DateTime, Integer & Decimal. This has been corrected.

Case Archive updated to better prune email and attachment metadata
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring pyPegaArchiver, pyPegaIndexer and pyPegaPurger to remove old cases, there were no records present in the pr_metadata table but the records related to Data-Corr-Email, Data-WorkAttach-File and Link-Attachment remained. As there is no harm in removing these entries because the system has already copied the reference to these attachments, the entry in pr_metadata can be removed without any issue. With this update, external and shared entries now get removed from pr_metadata table when a purge is performed, however they do not get removed from the target table.

Portal calendar display corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
No data was visible for the daily or weekly view when displaying the Calendar on the Portal. This was caused by the height of the time frame for Daily/Weekly being set to a fixed value, causing events which fall under 11PM-12AM to not be displayed properly. In addition, the cell width for monthly view was also set to a fixed value, causing it to show only 4 events and hiding the 'show more' option. To correct this, the Day/Weekly view now includes double height to show all events, and the Monthly view displays 3 events and correctly includes the 'show more' option.

Simple button style updated to allow customization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
The Simple button style was not picking up the correct border style that was defined in the Skin rule when in the hover state. This was traced to the border radius value hard-coded in one of the custom files taking precedence over the value added for the border radius in the skin format. To resolve this, the simple button styles code has been removed from the controls.css file that had the border radius value hardcoded. The styles for simple button format will be configured in the skin, and a mixin has been added for modal buttons border styles that can be configured in the skin itself.

Corrected layout group overlapping content
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When an editable Table with Master Detail Edit has a section that contains a Layout group (Tab) inside the Master Detail Flow Action, if there are more layout group headings than that can be contained in the screen, a left and right arrow are displayed to toggle between headings in the layout group heading bar. However, timing issues sometimes caused the contents of the layout group to overlap on top of the content below the layout group and the screen was freezing with a loading icon. This was traced to console errors, and has been resolved by adding an 'undefined' check to prevent those errors.
