Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7

Check added for backwards compatibility with Case Type when rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, the When rules present on case type rules (used for skipping stages or showing/hiding stage-wide or case-wide actions) were not executing at run time. This was traced to the introduction of the pySkipOrAllowType property in recent versions, and was only reproducible when the ApplicationRuleset was locked and after upgrade irrespective of whether the condition for when was true or false. To resolve this and enhance backwards capability, a check has been added for the SkipOrAllowType property being empty.

Security improvements for ApplicationInventory and Delete Class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
It was possible to call the activity "ApplicationInventory of class Rule-" by appending the activity name in the URL. To improve security, the ApplicationInventory activity and HTML rule have been removed from the system. In addition, it was possible to access the "delete class" screen and perform actions on top of it by directly appending the stream to the URL. This has been refactored so the screen will be presented only if the pzSystemOperationsAdministrator privilege is in the current access group.

Repository document deletion modified for better cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When using documents functionality, creating and uploading a document properly stored it, but deleting the document did not remove the associated files from storage. Whenever a document is created that has a file, instances Of Link-Attachment and Data-WorkAttach-File are also created. Previously, when the document was deleted, the associated instances and actual file were not deleted from the repositories but rather marked as Resolved-Withdrawn and hidden at the UI level. The system has now been updated so that when a document is deleted, the document attachment will also be deleted from all places like list, Tile, and document View, and reference instances like Link-Attachment and Data-WorkAttach-File instance will also be removed along with the actual file from the repository.

Removed unused function to improve Class rule save performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Clicking save on the Policy Class rule was not working correctly or was taking an excessive amount of time to respond. Adding property mapping in the External Mapping tab of the Class rule exhibited the same behavior. Investigation showed there was an infinite loop being invoked in the class ruleform, which was traced to the disableKeyEntries() function. As this function is no longer used, this has been resolved by updating the RF_RuleObjClassScript.js to remove disableKeyEntries and any function calls to it.

Toolbar delete handling modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After upgrade from Pega 7.4 to 8.5, the toolbar delete button behavior was different. Previously, the pzRuleFormToolbarDeleteRule section rule invoked RuleFormMain on refresh, but the updated version was calling RuleFormHeader, preventing the deletion of the assignment from the class instance. This was an unanticipated edge case and has been resolved by updating the action in the button to refresh the section RuleformMain instead of header.

JAWS correctly reads work group header
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
While creating the groups within the organizational unit, JAWS was reading the name of the frame as "Process Work Area" instead of "Create Work Group" and "enter data" instead of the name of the edit field with edit instructions. This has been resolved by adding a property to the short description label so it contains the instance type that is being created.

DSS added to control Pega Version Banner
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Nuisance errors were being logged related to the application trying to connect to Pega to confirm available versions. This has been resolved by adding the 'when' rule pyShowVersionBanner to pzStudioHomeWrapper which allows disabling/enabling the Version Banner based on the setting used in the DSS ShowVersionBanner. pyShowVersionBanner defaults to true when DSS ShowVersionBanner does not exist.

Signature Accept callback fires correctly in offline app
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Clicking on the Accept button in the Pega mobile signature control was not properly calling the necessary pega.ui.signature.acceptSignatureCallback method. This has been resolved by adding code for the Post Success and Failure callback on Signature accept in the offline app.
