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.

Handling added for comma value in FusionCharts XML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After creating a Summary Report through the report browser and adding that report to the Dashboard, clicking on the report to drill down generated the error "Can't open the rule with the specified keys". Investigation showed that if a category or series in a Report Definition chart contained a comma, the drilldown would not work because of an incorrect pyclassname being passed. This was traced to the use of XML to configure the chart: the FusionCharts third-party library parses the link XML incorrectly and splits JS arguments at any comma. This was a missed use case for having a comma in the name, and has been resolved by adding encoding for the comma value in pzMultiSeriesData FusionCharts XML rule. Then this will be decoded in the drilldown JS APIs pzPega_chart_legacydrilldown and pega_report_summary.

Logic updated for exporting customized multi-column report definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
While attempting to perform an export to Excel for the results of a report definition which had two custom functions for two columns, the error "PRRuntimeException: Section 'pzRDExportWrapper' execution error on page '' of class 'Rule-Obj-Report-Definition'. : The Reference .pyTextValue(2) is not valid. " was logged. The export worked if either one of the columns was removed or if "Display values across columns" in the column settings was unchecked. This has been resolved by updating the logic in PivotTableDataGridGenerator for rowheaders to handle using DisplayValuesacrossColumns with FunctionAliases when not checked on in sequence.

Added accessibility to Report view context menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
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.

Summary Report collapsible sections made accessible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
In order to improve accessibility, the rules 'RRDataSummaryGeneration' and 'pzDisplayGroupNodeVertical' have been updated so the clickable expand icons in summary reports will append the value of the current group when setting the text "Click to expand or collapse". This will allow JAWS to uniquely identify exactly what will be expanded or collapsed.

Zero value parameter handling added to Trend Reporting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After converting the Summary Views to a Report Definition, the Chart reporting functionality was not working in the Report Definition drill-down reports; whole records present were being fetched instead of only the graph chart count. Investigation showed that one of the parameters in the FilterBy was missing, and that pxSLAAgeTimeliness used 0 instead of null, causing the system to consider all records. This has been resolved by modifying the pega_report_Summary.js file and the pxSLAAgeTimeliness FunctionAlias to handle the 0 value and ensure all parameters are present.

Search landing page performance improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Performance improvements have been made for the Pega Platform search landing page by implementing timeouts for all requests to ElasticSearch when executing PegaIndexAdminImpl.getIndicesInfo() and changing all requests for single index to requests for all indexes. In addition, SearchUtils.areDummyDocumentsPresent() has been modified to get all 'dummy documents' in case there are duplicate dummy documents in the ElasticSearch indexes.
