Added handling for unknown UpdateDateType property
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
Saving a Flow stream triggers the pzTrackChangesForFlow activity call, which then reads the pxUpdateDateTime property and converts it to Big Decimal for comparison. This conversion requires mode of the property (i.e. DateTime (?M?) in this case) to be known, which is specified in blob as encoded format. When using a PCI framework where the mode of the pxUpdateDateTime property is unknown(???), a NumberFormatException was generated. This has been fixed.

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 To resolve this, the search function call now has been replaced by another method that tries to obtain the same information from config service without having to locate the XML file.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.

Decision Table check-in warnings supported for large tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After adding an empty row in the middle of Decision Table rows and checking in, the Decision table rule's CheckIn form shows a functionality warning about a conflict in decision table ("This rule contains 1 logic conflict(s). Click the 'Show Conflicts' button for more details."). However, this behavior did not occur as expected if the decision table had more than 500 cells in it, and has now been resolved.

Decision table null input handling updated for backward compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, 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 8.6.1
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 8.6.1
After update 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 8.6.1
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.
