Upgrade compatibility enhanced for Pega-ConditionBuilder ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
In Pega v8.2.5, the Pega-ConditionBuilder ruleset was added as part of the PegaMarketing application. When these enhancements were promoted to a platform ruleset beginning with Pega v8.4, the function names were modified with PZ/PX prefixes due to the corresponding validation standards in place for rules created in platform rulesets. Unfortunately, this introduced an upgrade impact. Due to the function name change, strategies failed when attempting to evaluate the functions configured in the filter component. Eg: @string.ContainsIgnoreCase function is part of the Pega-ConditionBuilder ruleset, which was not available. To resolve this, the following function aliases have been created in this release:ContainsIgnoreCase StartsWithIgnoreCase EndsWithIgnoreCase CompareDateTimeToSymbolicDate In addition, the pzGetFBData activity has been modified to ensure these function aliases are upgraded to the most current version available in the system and that assembly of the When rule or AccessWhen rules created in v8.2.5 perform as expected after Revalidate & Save or direct rule save actions performed after upgrade.

Updated TimeZone dropdown control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The RF_Timezonelist control was deprecated in Pega v8.4 and withdrawn in Pega v8.5 and a replacement datapage was provided to give the same list of timezones. Unfortunately, some references were not corrected to point to the replacement, causing an issue with custom functions that were attempting to set the time zone on an OperatorID calendar instance in order to calculate goal and deadline properties before setting the SLA. The work has been reviewed and updated to ensure all referencing rules are now correctly replacing the RF_Timezonelist with a dropdown sourcing the datapage.

Expression Builder updated for special character handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
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.

Documentation updated for using Custom Stored Procedure after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Documentation has been updated to reflect that when upgrading an environment to Pega 8.3+, the following two prconfig/DSS settings should be removed. This is the preferred approach to use the new ID generation mechanism. Additionally, if a database sequence was previously used to generate IDs, pc_data_uniqueid should be added or updated to make sure each case type has a row defined, and that the pyLastReservedID matches the maximum of the relative database sequence value plus 1. env name="pega/sequenceid/useOldOOTBIDGenerator" value="true" or DSS: prconfig/pega/sequenceid/useoldootbidgenerator/default env name="database/databases/customUniqueIDproc" value="sppc_data_uniqueid_custom" or DSS: prconfig/database/databases/customuniqueidproc/default To keep using the old custom stored procedure, the following settings should be given either through prconfig or DSS setting (prefixed with "prconfig/"). The sppc_data_uniqueid_custom can be replaced with a custom procedure name with the same signature as the standard stored procedure. env name="pega/sequenceid/useOldOOTBIDGenerator" value="true" env name="database/databases/customUniqueIDproc" value="sppc_data_uniqueid_custom"
