Reusable assets default option populated correctly for new application

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

When creating an application with at least two case types where each case type belonged to different class groups and pointed to different tables but were configured to have only one work pool, operator work pool values for pxThread and pxRequestor did not correctly reflect the different access group settings. This was traced to the inheritance of default values when the portal pyPortal.pyDesktopType was set to Composite, which caused the system to always take the value from the work pools in the application whether or not it was the same value as specified. A check has now been added so that the system will only default to using the value from the work pool if no value has been specified.

Decision table rule scrolling fixed for low resolution screens

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

While scrolling right, the Tool bar in a decision table rule was moving right while the remaining screen moved left. This was traced to the the screen resolution being less than decision table toolbar width, allowing an infinite scroll. To support low resolution screens, the decision table grid has been made scrollable to resolve this.

Cleanup added for staging directory

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

Temporary files from imports and exports (from DevOps) were filling up the staging area disk space because there was no automatic process for cleaning up these local files. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will clear the directory on Engine Startup and any time ParUtils.setStagingDirectory gets called to initialize the staging directory.

Approved flow rule image unlocked

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

When the Approval Required check box was enabled for rulesets (i.e another person with access to this work queue should approve changes to the rules), a rule which was approved was unlocked and moved back to the original ruleset as expected, but the binary image associated with the flow rule remained locked and any other user other than the one who previously checked in the rule was denied access with a "check out failed" error. This locking error has been resolved by modifying the Rule-Obj-Flow!CleanUp activity to set Param.IgnoreInstanceLockedBy = true.

Security updated for CreateOperator

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

In order to improve security, CreateOperator in Pega-ProCom will require authentication to run with pxCanManageUsers privilege.

Resolved null-pointer exception in Expression Builder launch from activity rule

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

A NullPointerException occurred in SafeURL when trying to launch the Expression Builder from an activity rule. This was trasced to a failure to get a value property in a target field due to the target element and its parent element containing the same value for name attribute. This caused the parent element to be considered instead of the target element. To resolve this, the search for the target element in parent tag will use '$p' along with 'target element name' in query selector.

Improved temporary page clearing for UpdateAndDeleteAssignments

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6

When using the Change Stage shape in a flow to move it to the Complete stage, the expectation is that the status should be set to Resolved-Completed and all open assignments should be deleted. In some scenarios, the audit history showed the case moved to the Complete stage and the assignments deleted properly, but the case status was not set to Resolved-Completed. This was traced to the temporary page "pgWork_x" getting leaked from pzUpdateAndDeleteAssignments activity when a case is being processed to closure (via pzProcessResolutionStage > pxForceCaseClose path). When the same work object was reprocessed in the same thread and the findPageByHandle(WorkObjectID) function received this temporary page's reference, then the actual operation was not committed to the database. To resolve this, updates have been made to remove the precondition at step#15 of the pzUpdateAndDeleteAssignments activity to ensure the temporary page gets removed appropriately.

Added special character handling for DecisionTable column-label

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2

The label of a decision-table column was being appended to the original decision-table return-value. The column label and comparator were handled differently for columns containing special characters (+, -, *,...), causing the data after the special character to be trimmed and appended to the row output value. This has been resolved by adding handling for special characters so the output and the label are rendered properly.

INC-200802 · Issue 714845

Line break handling added for setting required question asterisk

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2

If a survey question was formed in multiple sentences, the asterisk marking it as required was not displayed in screen. The asterisk displayed as expected if the question was one sentence. This has been resolved by updating the setMandatoryIconforQP script handle linebreaks and set the required symbol as expected.

INC-205666 · Issue 702936

Database table correctly prevents deletion if there are descendant classes

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2

When deleting a concrete class with descendant classes via an activity (Rule-.Delete), the Rule-Obj-Class.ValidateDeleteInternal activity was throwing an error message indicating the class could not be deleted due to descendant classes. However, the corresponding database table rule was deleted anyway. Investigation showed this was caused by ValidateDeleteInternal not reaching the Obj-Save-Cancel step. This can be fixed by modifying step 11, the post when conditions, to jump to END and set the END label at the Obj-Save-Cancel step instead Exit-Activity, but this issues has been resolved by updating all failure states to run end step. In addition, security has been updated to disallow "Allow invocation from browser".
