Execution class parameter handling updated for scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The schedule was picking the wrong class to execute a report, choosing the report top class/current application class instead of the expected shortcut class mentioned in the report class of the schedule. This has been resolved by updating the parameter handling in the pzRunScheduleShortcut activity.

DSS added to control BIX extraction time properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After upgrade from Pega 7.3 to Pega 8, downstream systems were failing to process the BIX extract manifest summary file. This was due to three columns which were introduced in Pega 7.3.1 to handle any failures during BIX incremental extraction: pxStartCommitDateTime, pxEndCommitDateTime, and pxLastSuccessFulCommitDateTime. To support better backwards compatibility, this fix introduces the below DSS to allow disabling of the new columns. BIX/disableSaveTimePropertiesInCSV BIX/disableSaveTimePropertiesInXML BIX/disableSaveTimePropertiesInDB

Handling updated for databse function GREATEST
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When deploying Pega on Red Hat OpenShift, attempting to index data via the SRS resulted in the landing page loading and RULES indexing appears to start, but when it finally completed it showed no records. While the index operation was running log entries showed the SRS service was unavailable and that the isolation context did not exist. Investigation showed there was an exception being generated indicating "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: 'greatest' is not a recognized built-in function name". Because the function GREATEST is not supported in Microsoft SQL Server 2019, an update has been made to change GREATEST into an expression like "IIF(COALESCE(column_name, 0)>value, COALESCE(column_name, 0), value)" for compatibility.

HTML tags escaped in Audit History field values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The case narrative section was showing case statuses with encoded special characters such as % or ( ), resulting in entries such as "Status changed to Complete &# 40;approved& #41; !@##$: %^& amp;*&# 40;&# 41;_&# 43;.</div>". This has been resolved by updating the PyMemo field from type Text Input to DisplayAsLiteral for case narrative, which matches the setting for case history.

Collaboration control hidden if data type is delegated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When collaborating using a customized CaseManager portal with some delegated data types, the admin user refreshing the Data Type view changed the collaborator's view from the portal to show the Data Type tabs, allowing the second person to open rules (properties, Data Pages, etc) and see the configuration even though they could not make any changes. This has been resolved by updating pzDataTypeDelegated to display the collaboration control only if pzDelegation is false.

Corrected doubled tag removal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After adding two tags for a Service case, attempting to delete the first tag resulted in the second tag also being removed. When three tags were present in the case, deleting the first tag caused the first and second to be deleted. Investigation showed this was caused by the run activity pyRemoveTagLink being called twice in run time, and has been resolved by updating the run activity.

Filename with non-ASCII characters normalized for Apple Safari upload
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using the Apple Safari browser, attaching a file name that contained Japanese characters resulted in an "attachment doesn't exist" error message when trying to open it again. This was caused by the special characters in the FileName for the Data/Query string not being encoded during the file upload, and has been resolved by updating the UploadFileToADocument activity to normalize the FileName if the Safari Browser is being used.
