Added special character handling to Process Modeler
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After migration, some sites attempting to open flows through Process Modeler saw only the 'loading' message for a long time and then an error was displayed. This was traced to the use of user-input strings containing special characters in the canvas-based rule data, and has been resolved by adding character escaping during the model generation.

Optimized regex decision tree for property and when values
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A regex expression run against long property names was resulting in system slowdown and stuck requestor threads. A similar issue was encountered with When rules. To resolve this, the decision tree has been optimized.

Timing improved for delegated strategy rule editing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After saving a strategy rule to an unlocked production ruleset and adding that version to My Favorites, it was not possible to checkout the rule. When the refresh/reload button (only button displayed on the rule toolbar) was clicked, a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException message was generated. The root cause was a timing issue due to system slowness that prevented the display of the toolbar icons, and code has been implemented to increase the timeout for 'openRuleINprogress'.

Fix inserted for CaseWorker portals using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
CaseWorker portal links to open and interact with cases were not working in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 browser. This was caused by the method used to get the dynamic container not being supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, and has been resolved by changing the querySelector to get the proper class names.

Added handling for NPEs on mobile devices
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Answering a questionnaire on a mobile device was generating the error "NullPointer in SafeURL.put()" due to the source element being a radiobutton div and not sending the request for postvalue. This was a missing condition in the initiatepost method of pega_ui_events for handling NPEs on mobile and the system has been modified to correct this.

Repaired Case Designer rendering for Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 browser, opening a case type in Case Designer which has steps in the stages did not render the steps. This was caused by a CSS file fragment that was not picking up the proper base styles, and has been fixed.

BPEL rule types deprecated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
BPEL is a flow format that makes SOAP calls to other systems. Previously, Rule-Connect-BPEL and Rule-Service-BPEL were supported types not as callable rules, but as summaries of the rules involved with interacting with a particular BPEL flow. This usage originated before the advent of landing pages, and summarized the connector or service rules, respectively, that were in the system for a given BPEL-related service package. It has been found that the BPEL-specific standard in version 1.1 and higher does not carry enough information in its schema to do an import and requires limitations and post-import work to make the flows usable. In addition, BPEL import was supported only with Visio. In Pega 7 there is no Visio view for flows, so these flows cannot be viewed or edited. Therefore the following rule types have been deprecated as of this release: -------------------------------------------------- Form Hierarchy Service COM Service BPEL+D249 Connect BPEL Parse Transform Parse Transform Collection Parse Infer Attempting to use these rule types will present the following messages: -- Service BPEL: "The rule type Service BPEL is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please use Service SOAP instead." -- Connect BPEL: "The rule type Connect BPEL is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please use Connect SOAP instead."
