Decision Table check-in warnings supported for large tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After adding an empty row in the middle of Decision Table rows and checking in, the Decision table rule's CheckIn form shows a functionality warning about a conflict in decision table ("This rule contains 1 logic conflict(s). Click the 'Show Conflicts' button for more details."). However, this behavior did not occur as expected if the decision table had more than 500 cells in it, and has now been resolved.

Expression Builder updated for special character handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
If a modulo operator (%) was used in expression builder, the expression showed the correct value when it was submitted (closed) but on reopen the expression was changed and not calculated correctly. If the expression was not reopened then it calculated the value properly. This issue was traced to a server call to pzEvaluatePegaExpression which treated certain values as containing special characters, and has been resolved by updating the handling for this scenario.

Decision table null input handling updated for backward compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After upgrade, any null values as inputs in the decision tables were skipped if "Allow Missing properties" was not checked. This behavior was different from previous versions. In order to improve backward compatibility, the new function pxEvaluateDecisionTable has been added which has an additional parameter to set AllowMissingProperties, and the older function logic has been modified to take the parameter value from the parameter page.

Support added for connect-SOAP run in parallel mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When connect-SOAP was configured to use the “run in parallel” mode, application settings derived through a datapage had incorrect values. While running the connect-SOAP through an activity, all the values were derived incorrectly. This has been resolved by adding a synchronization enhancement to support parallel run connect.SOAP.

Out of memory condition resolved for BIX extraction
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
A node was going down automatically during execution of a BIX Extract rule when working with old objects. Investigation showed this was related to an out of memory error: the work object had nested page lists, and when one of the page lists contained a propertylist which contained more records, the system was trying to add entries to the LinkedList if any properties were missing the reference during extraction. Because LinkedList allowed duplicates, it filled with enough errors to cause the out of memory condition. To resolve this, LinkedList has been replaced with LinkedHasSet, which does not allow duplicates.

BLOB decryption API updated for greater flexibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
A BIX extraction issue occurred after the class had enabled BLOB Encryption. The errors indicated the BLOB had been persisted in an incorrect stage, causing the extraction of the single item to never complete even though some CSV file was created. This was traced to the API used to read the encrypted BLOB, DatabaseUtilsCommonImpl.getStreamBytes, which had the limitation of decrypting only when a Site-specific cipher existed. To resolve this, the system has been modified to use a different API which works for all encryption modes, PageDatabaseMapperImpl.getStreamBytes().

Report title displayed for empty widget charts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
Per design if there is no data to be rendered in the chart from a report added in a Widget in any portal, a static image is displayed saying "No Data to Display". However, if there were multiple reports in the Widget it caused confusion on which report was not being displayed because the image did not show the title of the report. To resolve this, an enhancement has been added to modify pzRRChartDiv to display the report Title even when there is no data in it.

Local time used for report filters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
The date format in the filter condition of the report was being displayed in GMT format rather than the Local time Format. This has been corrected.
