Added support for imported rules to populate bixreportpage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Extract rules were not holding the filter criteria after upgrade while performing save-as (for the first time) of the imported rules from the previous version. Criteria were held when the filters were created in the new version. This was caused by BIX extracts created in earlier releases (7.x) not having bixreportpage included. When an environment was upgraded to 8.x versions, opening an extract required the bixreportpage to be populated with Report Definition metadata including the filters defined in the actual extract. Although the filters from the original extract were converted to filters that are acceptable by ReportDefinition, they were not being added to bixreportpage on opening the extract. To resolve this, the system has been updated to copy the filters back to bixreportpage on opening the extract in the upgraded environment.

Obj-Browse will retrieve more than 50 records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
After performing multiple skims, a newly added property was not retrieved when an Obj-Browse was performed. In Obj-Browse action, when a class is mapped to an external table and does not contain BLOB column pzpvstream, in a specific case where pxObjClass value is a reference to a parameter, a list of properties mapped to the class explicitly by querying pr4_rule_property table using NativeSQL is fetched. This call by default returns only 50 records: in cases where there are more than 50 properties for an external class, some of the properties from the obj-browse response mapping are therefore missed. To resolve this, the limit of 50 records has been removed from this NativeSQL call.

Corrected Agent schedule time conversion
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
After upgrade, a mismatch between the agent configuration and schedule was seen, causing an agent scheduled at 6PM Europe/London time to execute at 6AM Europe/London instead. Analysis of the Agent schedule rule showed that if the pyStartAmPm property was empty, the internal code miscalculated the AM_PM string as AM. That meant that if an agent was configured with 24 hour clock format and was set to run at 18:00 hrs, it executed at 6AM. The workaround for this issue involved resaving the agent, triggering the data transform pzSetStartAmPm to correct the field pyStartAmPm, but the issue has been corrected by adding handling for the pyStartAmPm == "" corner case.

Component rule check added to suppress unnecessary guardrail warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
After creating a component application using Configure > Application > Components, guardrail warnings were seen when saving the component. The component application allowed adding rulesets or other applications, but did not have all the tabs found in a normal application, so there was no option for adding the associated classes to define the UI class, Integration class and data class in the component application. As component is mostly a part of (or embedded inside) an application, this function was not given options to justify or suppress guardrail warnings like Rule-Application. To resolve this, a check has been added for component rule before generating guardrail warnings for Empty UI page, Empty Integration class, and Empty Data class.

Rule-Utility-Function references updated with library information
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
The "changeSystemName” operation failed. This was traced to the function “getLocalizedValue” (Rule-Utility-Function) being saved into the PegaFS library due to runtime resolution based on the function signature even though the actual Rule-Utility-Function from “Pega-Rules” ruleset needed to be picked in this case. To ensure the correct ruleset is picked, Rule-Utility-Function references have been updated with library information to resolve the resolution collision scenario.

Testcases are not available for 'access when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Attempting to create test cases for access when rules resulted in guardrail warnings about the need to create a test case. Because Test Cases are not available for the Access When rule type as per Pega expected behavior, the guardrail warnings are not valid and have been removed.

Resolved timeout errors related to getIndexInfo
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
When attempting to import large files (around 300MB) via Designer Studio a time out error was seen, but the same upload worked as expected from the command line. Investigation showed that the "approximate" argument in getIndexInfo caused wasteful analytic operations to be run on the database, hampering performance. To resolve this, areas where the results of the analysis are not needed have been modified to have aApproximate set to be true so it will not be run.

BIX command line support improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Post-upgrade, it was seen that changes to the engine which validate that Data-Admin-DB-Name is not defined multiple times caused the BIX command line extracts to no longer work the same way. In order to improve backwards compatibility, updates have been made to loosen the validation in JdbcConfigurationFactory to always prefer prconfig settings if there are multiple definitions.
