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.

Decision table null input handling updated for backward compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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 8.7
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.

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Improvements for Offer Eligibility rules loading time
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After opening the Proposition filter/Action rule and clicking on Add Criteria, the pxAnyPicker drop down load was taking an excessive amount of time. Performance improvements have been made by adding a precondition at step 2 to avoid data page refresh for specific scenarios when it is not required.

SmartpromptType classes shown in Rule-Admin-Skill
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Some class instances were not showing in SmartpromptType list. This was traced to the activity LookUpList, which is called from Rule- class in Rule-Admin-Skill, using pyClassName as one of the filter criteria in Java Step1. Therefore Rule-Admin-Skills did not show in SmartpromptType list. This has been resolved by overriding LookUpList for Rule-Admin-Skill class so it will not consider pyClassName as a filter criteria.

Regex corrected for USZipCodeExtended validation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Edit Validate - USZipCodeExtended was not working as expected. Instead of validating 5 numbers followed by 4 numbers, it was validating for 5 numbers followed by 5 numbers. This has been corrected.

Corrected restoring lockable data class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After opening an instance of a lockable data class and deleting it and then restoring it, the system reported an error that a lock can't be held on the instance. This only happened for lockable data instances that were deleted and restored immediately, and as a work around the item could be restored successfully from from the History- instance. To resolve this, the pzRMActionRecoverDeleted activity has been updated to copy to a temporary page and take action instead of acting on the primary page.
