Quorum capability check added for external Elastic Search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The error "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not supported for client/server mode at search.indexmanager.internal.ESIndexAdminHTTP.isQuorumAvailable" was appearing when attempting to use external Elastic Search to index a dedicated index, and the queue processor was running but showed multiple broken items. This has been resolved by adding a capability check with ES_INITIALIZE_EMBEDDED_CLUSTER to prevent a quorum check with external elastic search.

Added reporting on descendant classes for framework
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Reporting on descendant classes was not working as expected. In a report definition with "Reporting on descendant classes enabled," the framework class and implementation class each refers to two different tables that use the same names but belong to two different schemas. Investigation showed the generated SQL query was not adding the necessary UNION clause, and the records from the descendant classes were missing when running the report on framework class. This was a missed use case and has been corrected.

Handling updated for INativeSQLBuilder with ABAC enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When trying to import into a data type, the error "Exception occurred during data import pxW-886: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: INativeSQLBuilder not initialized properly" was generated. Investigation showed that when Add or Update was chosen with ABAC enabled during import, a null pointer exception occurred while getting the class definition. This has been handled by adding an extra null condition check.

Privileges adjusted for RetrieveReportData
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
In recent versions of Pega, pxRetrieveReportData was secured with @baseclass AllFlows and OpenDeveloperForm privileges. However, this can interfere with setting up roles after update. To resolve this, the privilege restrictions have been removed from pxRetrieveReportData as it is already protected by ABAC/RBAC.

Drilldown report takes original report prompt parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a report had prompt filters configured and the summary report definition was executed by giving prompt filters, drilling down to one of the records in the summary report display and then looking at the reports displayed and summarized on a column showed a mismatched count. This was found to be a very specific edge case that involved calling the "Summarize" action from a report column within a drilldown report when using a custom filter section and "prompt for filter changes" on the main report. Filters from the custom filter section were being propagated to the drilldown report when summarizing, but the drilled-down-and-summarized report itself had not been refreshed on the client side to reflect this. To resolve this, the actions have been copied from pyDefaultCustomFilterApplyCancel and applied to the Summarize selection in pzGridMenuNavRule.

Updated dedicated index reindexing check
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempts to reindex were not successful after a dedicated index failed with the error "Not enough active shards for index work to meet write consistency of quorum". This has been resolved by updating the system to validate the cluster state for the dedicated index name instead of the work index name when performing a dedicated index Reindex.

Report Scheduler Email Notification column consistently populated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The Email Notification column in the Report Scheduler was not being populated. Analysis showed that some standard rules were being skipped for some list view reports; this has been resolved by including the pzReportBrowserScripts js file under the scripts of the pyReportBrowser harness so that it will reload the pzReportBrowserInner while unloading the model popup.

Runshortcut updated to allow direct invocation for reporting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, reports were not running as expected. This was traced to the checkbox for 'Allow direct invocation from the client or a service' not being checked in the final rule, preventing reports from working if they were called using the activity pxRunshortcut. This has been resolved by resetting the checkbox to checked.

Helper text added to improve close icon accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After opening a report, the "X" close icon was not read by JAWS and was not functional when JAWS was running. Investigation showed that the ReportEditorHeader section did not have Helper Text for the Close icon; this has been added to improve accessibility.

Updated replica management for search clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a cluster with two Universal nodes in the cluster, a daily restart process where the second node was not started until the first was fully up resulted in Search initialization failing for the first node while becoming active on the second node. This was traced to the methods used in increasing and decreasing replicas. This has been resolved by revising the handling of ElasticSearch node lifecycle and replicas through a new option "Dindex.searchNodeCount " which includes a specification for the number of expected search nodes. If this option is not present, the old method will be used.
