Reworked config file search to prevent WebSphere looping
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
During server startup, the engine tries to populate the environment properties by reading the config files for the application server. A problem was found in some installations with WebSphere where trying to locate the XML file containing the information on the server port created an infinite loop that caused the engine startup to hang. To resolve this, the search function call now has been replaced by another method that tries to obtain the same information from config service without having to locate the XML file.

Removed primary page requirement for link-object activity
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using the link-object activity method with the history checkmark and the specified step page without providing a primary page, the link-object activity method caused a null-pointer-exception when it attempted to fetch data from the pxRequestor page. This was caused by an unnecessary reference to the primary page, and the method to retrieve the value of pyUserIdentifier has been updated.

Serialized passivation exception fixed

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.
