Resolved null-pointer exception in Expression Builder launch from activity rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
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.

PegaCALL Null Pointer Exception fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After a successful PegaCALL login was initiated and events were populated to the desktop, setting the phone status to Ready then caused some sites to experience sporadic errors that resulted in CTI login problems and events not reaching the desktop. When the issue occurred, it affected an entire instance at a time but cleared on its own after several hours. This was due to missing null handling in the code used for event delivery, and has been fixed.

Handling added for blanks when copying parameter pages
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After Configuring a Call-Asynch-Activity method step on an activity and refreshing the ruleform, the name of the activity being called in the method was no longer shown. To correct this, a 'when' condition has been added to the pzAddAdditionalMethodParameter activity to handle blank pages when copying parameter pages to pyStepsParamUI pages.

Ruleset sorting/comparison updated for DB2/zOS EBCIDIC
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After upgrade to a DB2/zOS split schema, accessing the UI Gallery landing page (DS -> User Interface -> UI Gallery) did not show any results. It was possible to search for rules and open them without issue, and altering the query to use a wildcard for pzRuleSetListHash found the rules as expected. The problem was traced to EBCIDIC character set ordering being different than ASCII & UTF-x based char ordering. UTF-based character encodings hold that A is greater than 9 when being used for comparison, but in an EBCIDIC sort, A's value is less than 0. Due to IBM DB2 on zOS using EBCIDIC ordering for character string comparisons (e.g. greater than, less than), the pzRuleSetVersionMinorPatch column that contains the String for the Minor and Patch versions was not ordering the needed rulesets as expected. To resolve this, the code has been updated to rarely use character string comparisons (greater than) in DB queries for greater compatibility.

Repaired checking for forward links on cached references
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After upgrade, a Null Pointer Exception was thrown when updating a case due to missing handling for forward links on cached references. To correct this, a check has been added when trying to regenerate missing back links to verify whether the forward link is valid or not; if it is valid, only then will the system try to regenerate the back link. Otherwise it will pass back the old link itself.
