Adjusted error handling of "Prebuild Conclusions" during upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The "Prebuild Conclusions" task of an upgrade was failing with the error 'ClassNotFoundException'. This was caused by a misconfiguration in the operating environment that led to the jar file that contains the class not being on the classpath during the upgrade. There was a workaround of setting the build.conclusions=false, but a check has been inserted that will skip these error entries and continue building the remaining conclusion entries.

Error logging smoothed for service activities-multi threading on multiple nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When an item was processed by one node and then in the process of being dequeued by the same node, other nodes attempting to access the same instance and queue received a warning message indicating the item had failed to dequeue. This message was verbose, and was filling up logs. For Advance mode Agents, when item is not found in the Queue Engine it was logging the message with "warnForced". To prevent the logging issue, the log level has been changed from 'warnForced' to 'warn'.

Corrected date format error on Data Agents Schedule
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Post-upgrade in a UAT environment, the Master Agent [Daemon] was not creating the Data Agents Schedule for Rule Agent Queue. This was caused by a month name vs month number mismatch in the YearlyMonth calendar property, and has been corrected.

Revised max datetime value for validation
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, a date property could have a max set value of 31-Dec-9999. This max date was not working in some time zones due to the input date being converted to GMT for internal operations. This meant that 31-Dec-9999 in some locales was getting converted to 1-Jan-10000GMT, which then failed validation. To correct this, the datetime validity logic has been changed to use "1st Jan 00:00:00.000 10000 GMT" for validation.

Application document support added for Word 2007
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When an Application Document was generated, Word 2007 launched a Microsoft Visual Basic window pop up with the message "Compile error in hidden module: clsPRSessionMgr". The root cause of this problem was a defect in the "Rule-File-Binary" rule WordMacroManagerDot.biw" that supports the 64-bit version of MS Word. This has been fixed.

Smoothed mode derivation for properties on adopted pages
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In certain situations, adopting a page onto a Light weight list row might fail if the adopted page had some dummy undefined page properties. To resolve this, while adopting properties from adopted page, the system will derive the mode from properties on adopted page if they are not defined.

Added check for error in LDAP logins
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a user logged in as external authenticated user over LDAP, a null pointer exception was seen. This exception was generated by the ApplicationSetup activity because the system was missing a page due to the user not being fully identified at that point. To fix this, a null check has been inserted for this condition.

Event based subscription processes corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After migration, "Event" based subscription processes were not firing. In this case, when distributed search was enabled (via following DSS - Pega-SearchEngine . indexing/distributed/index_enabled) and if "Work indexing" was enabled, Business events stopped working. This was due to an incorrect check on the enqueueLightWeight() function and has been corrected to use a blob based table if events fire.

UpgradeOnOpen style sheet handling corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The UpgradeOnOpen activity was run each time a harness was opened on the Developer Portal. This was inefficient, but also caused some manual UI changes to revert on the refresh due to the style sheet being incorrectly reset by the UpgradeOnOpen activity. This has been corrected.
