DSS added to control BIX extraction time properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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

Added handling for client-side validation errors in sub-reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a sub-report was trying to access externally mapped fields or an optimized page property by JOIN of another class, the main report was unable to validate the Page property. This has been resolved by updating the activity code to handle client-side validation errors on main reports attempting to access the externally-mapped Page properties of another class in the sub-report.

Updated chart button markup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Some of the buttons were incorrectly displayed while clicking "Edit Report" from the Cosmos report browser. This was due to the buttons generating markup that was used to support older browsers in pzChartButtons, and has been resolved by updating the button markup.

Updated variable handling for filter logic to avoid reuse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When adding the property "ItemStatus" as a filter for a report, the validation message: "This property does not exist or has no column mapping" appeared. This was traced to an empty caption for a class join property used in the filter due to RRFilters_Logic reusing the strFieldName variable, and has been resolved by updating the variable handling to use a unique name, strPropName.

Resolved report filter section freeze
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When opening a report with a count column, changing the order of one of the report columns resulted in the report freezing and requiring the report to be closed and re-run. This was traced to a double filter popup appearing that did not close after the column sorting, which happened if the report definition was configured as a summary with an aggregated column such as "Count” combined with a "Do not display group headings" setting on the Report Viewer tab. To resolve this, a new step has been added in the Activity pzPopulateSortOrder to call the pzCancelFilterLogicChanges activity.

Executing operator ID shown for re-indexing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the 'executed by' name for re-indexing in the search landing page showed "System" instead of the actual operator ID. This has been corrected.

Handling added for missing expose.accessGroup property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
After exposing an existing page group and page list properties along with single value properties using a declare index, running the Column Populator tool prpcServiceUtils to populate the historical data resulted in the single value properties being updated in the exposed column properly, but the page group and page list properties were not updated in the declare index table. On new case creation the declare index tables were updated. This was traced to the default expose.accessGroup not being set for the user, and has been resolved by adding a check and handling that will add the missing property in prpcserviceutils.properties defining the access group for the Rule-Declare-Index of the classes being exposed if it is not present.

Warnings pull from report definition page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When a report definition filter was used in the "Class instances to include" section of the Product rule, severe warnings appeared noting "Report definition filter performance issues for LookupDataMigration : Using a custom HTML control to format a column may result in poor performance displaying query results. Consider using auto-generated HTML controls". However, the report definition used, LookupDataMigration, has no Custom HTML control in the latest version of the rule, and the "CheckForWarnings" rule for the product was running a report definition in the "Index-Warning" class which has the warnings for all the versions of the rule. This was due to warnings being displayed in the product for the report definition filter without applying rule resolution for report definition, resulting in warnings from all report definition version rules from a ruleset given a report definition name. This has been resolved by adding an update which will use Obj-Open to read the warnings from report definition page instead of looking up for warnings from Index-Warnings table.

Pega Keystore supported for hotfix signature verification
