REST connector creation errors resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Attempting to create REST Connectors via the dev studio wizard using live endpoint invocation as "Add a REST response" was failing with a java.util.LinkedList error. This had a workaround of either running the REST wizard with file upload samples or configuring them directly on the rule form. In addition, REST Connectors were not executing if both the DEBUG level logging was turned on and the request had no headers, which had a workaround of using any other logging level (INFO, ERROR). These issues have been resolved by updating the system such that pyResponseHeaders are populated appropriately, and if there are no headers in the request, the system will not try to remove the trailing comma that would have been introduced in the oLog message.

Optimizing helper class enhanced to handle external databases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Running a BIX extract that included a manifest for a target database was resulting in a null pointer exception for the manifest extraction. Attempting to generate the DDL for the manifest table also failed. This was traced to an issue with the helper class using a hardcoded default database for forming the queries, causing it to ignore the database config/DADN/prconfig for the Oracle database and form a query using the PegaRules' database credentials. This only occurred when trying to do external database operations on a different database platform; Oracle PegaRules worked as expected with an Oracle external database and Postgres Pegarules worked with a Postgres external database, but mixing Postgres PegaRules and an Oracle external database would result in the null pointer exception. To resolve this, the helper class has been enhanced to work with external databases by passing the database name as a parameter so it will properly calculate the query based on the type of target. An error in the name of the class has also been corrected, and is now available as PerformanceHelper rather than the previous "PerformaneHelper".

Email headers correctly mapped when using MSGraph
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The value of "Send Date" was not correctly populated when using MSGraph instead of IMAP, causing the Email Listener to fail. Microsoft populates the "sendDateTime" field in the JSON with the value of the RFC 822 email header "Date:", but this value was not being passed to Java object of type "Message" as part of the query. To resolve this, ReceivedDateTime and SentDatetime have been added in the select filter of getMessagebymessageID.

Check added for type of value in scheduling adaptive reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When scheduling the pyAdaptiveModelsOverview, pyAdaptiveModelsPredictorOverview and pyModelsActivePredictorsOverview reports, the error "atest.Snapshot_Time is not a valid date/time value" was occuring in step 1 of the pzRDExportWrapper activity. The reports worked as expected when run standalone; the failure only occurred when running from scheduled tasks. Investigation showed that the system was trying to parse a property reference as a datetime, and the failure and error caused the report scheduler to refuse to send the generated report. This has been resolved by adding logic to ReportFilter.java to check if the value is a property reference before attempting to parse it as a datetime value.

Corrected page counts for 'save-as' reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The total pages count and last page icon were not displaying when the Preview button was clicked after a save-as of a report in the Report Browser. Investigation tracked this to a visible when condition on those fields that was being changed to the default of false during the save-as, and this has been resolved.

OptimizeForLargeResults flag set in BasicListSpecification to avoid OOM
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
As soon as dedicated indexing started for a data type, the JVM heap occupation went beyond 99 and eventually caused a system crash due to an out of memory error. This was traced to the use of the BasicListSpecification API for retrieving results from the database always having the autocommit mode on, which loaded all instances for indexing into memory and interfered with PostgreSQL's cursors (query encapsulation). This has been resolved by adding an OptimizeForLargeResults flag that will be set to on in the BasicListSpecification activity before fetching the keys from the database.

Handling added for comma value in FusionCharts XML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After creating a Summary Report through the report browser and adding that report to the Dashboard, clicking on the report to drill down generated the error "Can't open the rule with the specified keys". Investigation showed that if a category or series in a Report Definition chart contained a comma, the drilldown would not work because of an incorrect pyclassname being passed. This was traced to the use of XML to configure the chart: the FusionCharts third-party library parses the link XML incorrectly and splits JS arguments at any comma. This was a missed use case for having a comma in the name, and has been resolved by adding encoding for the comma value in pzMultiSeriesData FusionCharts XML rule. Then this will be decoded in the drilldown JS APIs pzPega_chart_legacydrilldown and pega_report_summary.

Logic updated for exporting customized multi-column report definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
While attempting to perform an export to Excel for the results of a report definition which had two custom functions for two columns, the error "PRRuntimeException: Section 'pzRDExportWrapper' execution error on page '' of class 'Rule-Obj-Report-Definition'. : The Reference .pyTextValue(2) is not valid. " was logged. The export worked if either one of the columns was removed or if "Display values across columns" in the column settings was unchecked. This has been resolved by updating the logic in PivotTableDataGridGenerator for rowheaders to handle using DisplayValuesacrossColumns with FunctionAliases when not checked on in sequence.
