Added handling for unknown UpdateDateType property
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
Saving a Flow stream triggers the pzTrackChangesForFlow activity call, which then reads the pxUpdateDateTime property and converts it to Big Decimal for comparison. This conversion requires mode of the property (i.e. DateTime (?M?) in this case) to be known, which is specified in blob as encoded format. When using a PCI framework where the mode of the pxUpdateDateTime property is unknown(???), a NumberFormatException was generated. This has been fixed.

Reworked config file search to prevent WebSphere looping
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
During server startup, the engine tries to populate the environment properties by reading the config files for the application server. A problem was found in some installations with WebSphere where trying to locate the XML file containing the information on the server port created an infinite loop that caused the engine startup to hang. To resolve this, the search function call now has been replaced by another method that tries to obtain the same information from config service without having to locate the XML file.

Removed primary page requirement for link-object activity
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using the link-object activity method with the history checkmark and the specified step page without providing a primary page, the link-object activity method caused a null-pointer-exception when it attempted to fetch data from the pxRequestor page. This was caused by an unnecessary reference to the primary page, and the method to retrieve the value of pyUserIdentifier has been updated.

PRPCTask is now tenantized
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
On a multi-tenant environment with HTTP event, it was not possible to see the options for warm\blind transfer with interaction from a tenant layer. This was an issue with the task taking the user ID information but not taking the tenant information, so the acceptance of the interaction on the portal was not getting delivered to the desktop. To correct this, PRPCTask is now tenantized.

Added handling for Oracle functional indexes of length '1'
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
The SchemaChangeUtils class was throwing a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when an administrator attempted to view the "Missing PRPC Shipped Schema" section of the "PRPC Schema Report" page after upgrade (System -> Release -> Upgrade -> PRPC Schema Report). This appeared to lead to the message "Can not render section" in the PRPC schema report UI. The StringIndexOutOfBoundsException was due to Oracle functional indexes of length '1' which were not handled while doing a substring in schemaChangeUtils class: this handling has now been added.

Pega Lookup JSP tag correctly retrieves Chinese characters
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When the pega:lookup JSP tag did a field value lookup on pyCaption to retrieve the field value consistent with the locale, any Chinese characters embedded in the HTML pages used to generate the PDF rendered correctly but '?????' appeared in the PDF content instead of the Chinese characters configured in the Field-Value pair. This was caused by an issue in the code which caused the system to incorrectly identify NVARCHAR columns as being VARCHAR columns. This has been fixed., and the encoding for TestDatabaseNew has also been set to be UTF-8 to ensure the Non-ASCII characters in the tests are handled properly in all workspaces.

Modified ClassName pass method for external DBs
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When DB2 is used as external DB (external table has a date column) and PRPC is hosted on a DB other than DB2, performing an obj-save into an external DB2 database failed with an SQL error. This issue occurred when a class was mapped to a table in an external DB which was not same as Pega hosting DB. In class PageDatabaseMapperImpl.java , function getDatabaseTypeFromEngine is used to check the database type when column type is Date, but the function was using a hardcoded value of class to determine the database type. This has been changed to pass className as parameter and use it to determine database type.

Resolved Vtable NPE during engine start
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
If a Rule-Access-When was defined on the class Data-Admin-System-Settings, search was initialized before the VTable is initialized. While initializing search, a DASS was set and a save operation was performed on the DASS which then tried to perform a security check and attempted to retrieve the Rule-Access-When from the unpopulated VTable cache. This led to an NPE. To resolve this, changes have been made so that search will be initialized after Vtable is populated.
