Corrected viewing of sorted drill-down spreadsheet-style summary reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When using a report with a summarized column and the 'Do not display group headings' grouping option checked, drill down was not working when the report was primarily sorted by default on any column other than the first one. This manifested as either no results returned by the drill down report or an error message related to invalid filter values. This was traced to the unique column ordering logic for non-spreadsheet-style summary reports being applied to the drilldown of spreadsheet-style summary reports due to the logic for creating the drilldown filters using the != operator to compare the spreadsheet flag string to the string constant "true". This previously worked as expected because this string was interned in the engine, but these string internments have since been removed. To correct this, pzPopulateReport has been updated to appropriately recognize spreadhseet-style summary reports as they used to.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from RD
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When using Export to Excel directly from a report definition, a date column specified using pxDatetime was shown as applied date format in the resulting Excel file. The column was formatted as expected if the export was called from an activity. This was traced to the recent refactoring of Export to Excel: it was not expected that it would be called directly, but rather that it would be invoked from a report viewer ruleform. In order to support this direct use, step calls have been added to the pzRDExportWrapper activity to call pzMergeAutoGen before the engine call. This step will merge the pyModes pages from pxDateTime control.

Large report pagination should use "Previous and Next only"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
Some Report Definitions were getting timed out or facing gateway exceptions, primarily due to high time consumed by the DB Queries. Investigation showed the total result count process appeared to stop at the configured pyMaxRecords value as long as it was nonzero. This indicated the issue was related to changes made to fix the inaccurate behavior of the "Last" button in the responsive paginator which included removing logic that set pyMaxRecords to anything other than zero. To resolve this issue, those pagination changes have been reverted. The "Last" button should not be used when the paging mode is set to Numeric: in the case of large reports, the paging option should be set to "Previous and Next only".

Resolved hang caused by cancelling report calculation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When dragging a calculation into the report editor filter area, clicking X on the cancel modal that appeared caused a JavaScript exception to occur. This exception later prevented the ability to click the "done editing" button on the report. This has been resolved by modifying the pzpega_report_rafpopup.sj -- doRefresh API to pass the correct argument to reload the section API.

Quorum capability check added for external Elastic Search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The error "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not supported for client/server mode at search.indexmanager.internal.ESIndexAdminHTTP.isQuorumAvailable" was appearing when attempting to use external Elastic Search to index a dedicated index, and the queue processor was running but showed multiple broken items. This has been resolved by adding a capability check with ES_INITIALIZE_EMBEDDED_CLUSTER to prevent a quorum check with external elastic search.

Handling updated for INativeSQLBuilder with ABAC enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When trying to import into a data type, the error "Exception occurred during data import pxW-886: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: INativeSQLBuilder not initialized properly" was generated. Investigation showed that when Add or Update was chosen with ABAC enabled during import, a null pointer exception occurred while getting the class definition. This has been handled by adding an extra null condition check.

Date/time filter works in source column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The date/time filter was not working in the Source column for a report definition. This was traced to "pxCreateDateTime" resolving and storing the pyDataType in the report as "DATE TIME". While "DATE TIME" is an acceptable data type it was not supported by pzGridSortPaginate and thus the filter did not work. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating pzGridSortPaginate to check the dataType as both "datetime" and "date time".

Max number of rows setting properly honored
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
The setting for the maximum number of rows to retrieve was still used in a report definition even when it was disabled. This was traced to the report definition being sourced from a data page and having pagination enabled, and has been resolved by updating the handling for this use case.

Updated handling for batch indexing cancellation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Entries were seen in the pyBatchindex QP even when indexing was not in progress. Investigation showed that if an exception occurred during the cancel process, the pyStatusWork property in Log-Cluster-FTSIndex instance was not correctly updated and the value remained as CancelInProgress. As a result, SLP silently remained in the state of waiting for the completion of cancel operation. This has been resolved by updating the handling of the cancellation process to ensure the queue is correctly cleared and email notifications are sent as expected.

Display limitation removed for scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When looking at Configure >> Reports >> Scheduled Reports only 50 reports were shown across two pages instead of all of the reports retrieved by pzGetScheduledTask. This was a limitation set in pyScheduledTasksGadget, and has been removed.
