Improved DB stability and retry for issues with RetryContext$ExceptionForDatabase
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
The agent was crashing when there was a report using a pr_read_from_stream for the 'where' clause combined with a postgres version with 'on pr_read_from_stream'. This has been addressed by improving the stability of the database and adding code to better handle reconnect and retry when there is a database problem.

Drag and drop fixed for report editor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
An issue where it was not possible to drag properties to the report columns or filters in the report editor was traced to the HTML fragment RRBodyDiv outputting values from the paging settings in an unsafe manner, causing synactically invalid JavaScript to be generated when the "Previous and next only" paging option was used. To correct this, RRBodyDiv has been updated to generate valid JavaScript even if some paging settings are blank.

Updates to controls and labels
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
Issue 413604:When configuring a button with a disable condition, the condition was not returned in the readonly field. The PegaAPI has now been updated to support "disable".

This has been fixed. Issue 413625: The PegaAPI section was missing when using clipboard page or data page with the rest method. To correct this, support for Embedded page has been added in the pyWorkPage for PegaAPI.

Corrected revalidate and save of Service REST rule after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
After upgrade, opening an existing Service REST rule and trying to save it in a higher ruleset using the revalidate and save tool resulted in the error "pyResourcePathParams.pyParameterName : This field should not be blank". This was caused by the Service REST xml not getting updated and has been corrected by adding UpgradeOnOpen to the process.

Data flow region switching method added to prevent truncating event strategy data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
An enhancement has been added to allow customers to switch data flow execution from one region to another without clearing event strategy data. This process looks like (1) Dataflow is started on one region. (2) Dataflow is paused in same region. (3) Dataflow is started in second region. Previously, step 3 would delete the existing event strategy data. To prevent that, a new run option has been added named 'pyDataFlowStorageTruncateOnStart'. By default, this is set to true and truncation will occur. If set to false, the event strategy data will not be deleted.

Improved handling for parsing multiple formats of DateTime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
In order to further correct an issue with DateTime formats, the system will now use the parseAsDateTime and parseAsDate functions to properly handle the parsing of the date and date time values. The Pega format will be tried first, and if that doesn't work then the UTF formats will be used. If there is still an issue, the system will call back on the original parseAsXSDDateTime/Date which should catch all cases. An exception will no longer be thrown until after all parsing methods are tried.

Check added to resolve nested grid component mismatch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
When using a nested repeating grid with expand pane option and expand multiple row options, running a screen flow resulted in a component mismatch error when moving from one assignment to another. This was traced to a limitation in the implementation that sometimes caused the parameter of the outer and inner grid to become corrupted or affect the wrong grid. In this case, the paramters startIndex and recordsInCurrentPage were resulting in a numberformatexception which in turn caused the component stack mismatch error. To fix the issue, an empty check has been added for startIndex and recordsInCurrentPage in the grid generation code.

Additional validation added for administrator role name in current application
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
When running an extract rule from designer studio, the when rule "hasadminrole" was getting called to check if the user has the "pegarules:sysadmin4" role. After upgrade, this when rule was returning false if "pegarules:sysadmin4" was defined in 'manage dependent roles', requiring the role to then be entered manually. This was traced to a condition where the BIX extract was being run from a CS application that did not have any access role with the current application name :Administrator, but instead used the access role name :SysAdm4, . To resolve this, an additional condition has been added to validate whether the current application has an access role with name "current application name:SysAdm4" in their access group to run BIX extract.

Template circumstancing works for report definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
If a report definition was circumstanced using the template option, the base report definition was always shown shown instead of the circumstanced one. This was caused by a missed use case , and has been corrected.
