Fixed null-pointer exception in external DB extract
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When using a class which maps to a table in an external database, running an extract caused a database permission error when trying to access the pr_log table in the PegaRULES database. This exception was caught and logged but then processing continued, resulting in a NullPointerException being thrown. To correct this, the sequence number generator has been modified to use the pr_log table instead of the class on which extract is defined.

addCalendar() RUF logic updated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The addCalendar() RUF logic has been modified to correctly set the operator time zone and correctly add the given years, months, days etc. This fix will be active based on a DASS setting as addCalendar() cannot be directly changed due to backward compatibility with DateTime issues.

Node startup modified to support very large clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Node startup was failing if the cluster had more than 50 nodes. This issue was caused by the query to the "pr_sys_statusnodes" table only returning 50 records; this limitation has been removed.

Unmapped columns from an external table skipped in DDL query generation.
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The OBJ-SAVE method was generating a query in which unmapped columns were also getting updated. As these columns were not mapped, DB columns were being updated with the value NULL. This was due to the Obj-Save function always saving the entire object, causing an issue when only part of a table is mapped to a class. To correct this, new prconfig and DASS settings have been added to exclude unmapped columns of an external table as part of DDL query generation.

Improved exception handling for "reset logging to default"
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
After enabling debug level logging to a file, clicking "Reset all loggers to default settings" did not actually do so despite presenting a confirmation message. This was traced to incorrect handling for an exception, and has been fixed.

Migrated work objects properly resolve references
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
After upgrade, Work objects created in an earlier version were not opening due to a difference in the Reference Property Link metadata used by forward links. This has been handled by ensuring the Reference Property Links are resurrected if not explicitly present.

Improved error handling for Usage Daemon
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The Usage daemon was exiting due to DB error and did not recover, leading to PALSnapshotImpl multiplying and causing an OOM. This was traced to missing error handling, and UsageDaemon has now been updated to handle a DB error without exiting.

BIX enhancement to handle unaligned external mappings
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
If a class with external mappings was configured and some of the properties did not match the db column name, a filter for one of those properties would not be applied to the extract query. In order to support business needs that contain the mis-match, an enhancement has been made to the BIX code to handle this non-alignment.
