Added menu scripts to ensure Operator menu shown when PortalHeader is saved to the application ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
The Operator menu was not working, after saving pyPortalHeader to application ruleset. The following error is observed in the console: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'showContextMenu' of undefined". This was traced to the menu files not being downloaded because of a generation issue that occurred when only one control (non auto control) was used with menu actions inside a dynamic layout. When a autogenerated control was used like a button, it worked. This has been fixed by adding menu scripts for use when pyactions has a showmenu.

SOAP service encryption error fixed for Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
The error "Unable to initialize XML Cipher" appeared in the PegaRULES log when using Java 8 and trying to invoke Pega SOAP service from the SOAP UI with "Enable ws security" checked. To fix this, the webservices-rt-pega1.jar has been updated to use an overloaded constructor of XMLCipher that takes canonicalizer as the second argument.

ZipFileListOnServer activity modified to only create instances for zip files
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When the Hotfix Manager was run on the ServiceExport directory, the Next and Cancel buttons did not render. Analysis showed the system was creating the PRFile instance for all of the files from the directory, and an exception was being thrown when am instance was created for a file that had illegal characters in its name. To correct this, the pzZipFileListOnServer activity has been modified to only create the instances for files which start with "dl-" and end with ".zip".

Explicit validation call added to subtree expansion to update declare expression targets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When a declare expression changed a value in a tree grid, the tree grid element did not show the new value until the section was refreshed. This was an issue with declare expression targets not registering after subtree expand, and has been corrected by adding a call to the validation_init() API.

Cleanup added to DDS service shutdown
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When prpcUtils is executed it starts DSM services in client mode when a DSM node (DDS) in the cluster is running. However, DSM threads do not shut down when the utility class completes, causing the Import task to hang. To prevent this, cleanup implementation has been added to the DDS service shutdown.

Avoid Generation flag will default to true for single case runs to avoid excessive data class hierarchy validation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
System slowness was traced to an excessive number of calls to the DDS service “getClusteState()” method. This issue was caused by an unusual usage of class hierarchy, where XXX-Data-Customer class had data flow and activity defined, then an activity instantiated a child class (e.g. XXX-Data-Customer-NBA) and tried to load an instance of this class using the data flow browse by keys operation. In this case, data flow had to do additional validation to make sure all data sets used in the data flow are compatible with the child class, and it was this validation that caused the reported issue. To better handle this use case, by default the avoid generation flag will be set to true for single case runs.

Resolved screen flicker during busy indicator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When using the column layout in CPMPerformIncludes, the contents flickered and shifted to the left while the busy indicator was displayed (performing actions like interaction switch, service case closure etc.). This was caused by the column layout main getting resized while the sidebar is hidden, and a check has been added to pzpega_ui_doc_lifecycle that will avoid resizing in case of a hidden element.
