Hidden filters will not be shown on the resulting report
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
After setting up a Report Definition to be visible in report browser with all filters hidden, editing and saving the report resulted in the filter values being visible on the report. This has been resolved by modifying pzResolveCopyFilters activity so that If the filter view option is "Read only, allow no changes" and "Filter not visible in Viewer", it will skip copying the filter values on to the report definition page.

Multiple-nodes rebuild LibraryMetadata to ensure all RUFs are present on change
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When performing a complete Application import into a clean installation, references to certain Rule-Utility-Functions went unresolved during the initial assembly. Investigation showed that after introducing a new Rule-Utility-Library or Rule-Utility-Function on one node in a cluster and then generating that, the other nodes in the cluster did not have the correct LibraryMetaDataCache for that RUL. Therefore, assemblies on those other nodes could throw a runtime UnresolvedAssemblyError. This has been resolved by modifying the way the Library subsystem processes the node changes events for Library Generation, to ensure that each node completely rebuilds the LibraryMetadata for that RUL so it contains all the RUFs.

Updated report widget drilldown logic for better non-ASCII character support
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When a report in the report widget had a drilldown chart with a parameter containing certain non-ASCII characters, no entries for the drilldown filter were shown even when there was data that matched that filter. This was traced to the drilldown JavaScript for dashboard report widgets encoding the drilldown parameter twice, causing characters that were Unicode but not ASCII to be corrupted. This has been resolved by updating the logic for pzpega_chart_legacydrilldown.js and pzpega_control_actions_reportdefinition.js to ensure the parameter is not encoded twice.

Handling added for runtime exception on upgrade due to inaccessible external schema mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
If a system used external schema mapping, attempts to upgrade were failing with the error "Caused by: com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.ConfigurationException: Unable to obtain data source "java:comp/env/jdbc/PegaRULES", as it is undefined". This was traced to configuring external DADNs which were not accessible from the server where the upgrade was being run: an upgrade will fail if it cannot connect to an external datasource even if no changes need to be made to that datasource. However, because a PRRuntimeException was unexpectedly being thrown instead of a Database Exception, the exception was not properly caught and handled. This has been corrected.

Support added for custom JVC arguments for Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
An enhancement has been added to support specifying custom JVM arguments for Cassandra. This allows uses such as enabling GC logging for cloud deployments, or to increase the native transport queue size for read-heavy deployments.
