Detection added for custom work history tables
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In order to fully embrace mobile capabilities, columns were added to the work history tables to allow actions to be tracked as a geographical map where each history event is a numbered locale indicator on a map instead of a row of entries. From lat/long it is also possible to call a Google service and get the street address as well. However, this functionality caused some issues post-migration with if there were customized pc_history_work tables mapped to custom classes. To remedy this, a check has been added to only query for pxlatitude/pxlongitude if columns are exposed and shown, and that will detect if the columns aren't present.

Access Role Editor link errors fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When using IE11 or Google Chrome, clicking on the hyperlink to a privilege associated with a class in Access Role Editor created issues that prevented changes from being made or saved. In some cases, after clicking 'Remove Checked' in the popup dialog, the developer portal loaded in the popup. This was caused by the forms-based role selection not being converted for cross-browser support, and has been fixed.

Added localization formatting for date values (YYYY-MM-DD)
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In Sweden, dates are given with a hyphen "-" and not slash "/" as the date separator as per ISO-8601. The SV localization has been changed to follow this style.

Enhanced task queue handling for custom applications
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
In some situations, a custom agent would periodically fall over when processing a large backlog of queued items. This was caused by an exception thrown when placing a task in the queue when it is already present. The system has been updated to better handle this situation and allow agents to continue to execute with the present schedule when a duplicate task is found.

Serialized passivation exception fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
A passivation exception was being logged due to a temporary page not being properly cleared after use with serialized properties. The ActivityStatusExceptionHandler activity has been changed to remove the temp page at the end.

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.
