Helper text added to improve close icon accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After opening a report, the "X" close icon was not read by JAWS and was not functional when JAWS was running. Investigation showed that the ReportEditorHeader section did not have Helper Text for the Close icon; this has been added to improve accessibility.

Updated replica management for search clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a cluster with two Universal nodes in the cluster, a daily restart process where the second node was not started until the first was fully up resulted in Search initialization failing for the first node while becoming active on the second node. This was traced to the methods used in increasing and decreasing replicas. This has been resolved by revising the handling of ElasticSearch node lifecycle and replicas through a new option "Dindex.searchNodeCount " which includes a specification for the number of expected search nodes. If this option is not present, the old method will be used.

Charts sourced from Report Definition show correct color post-update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the color coding was not working on charts sourced from a report definition. This was due to the correct seriesType not being determined when function aliases were used in charts, and has been resolved by adding a condition in configuration.java to determine correct the SeriesType.

Dataflow with report definition source repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, data flows using a report definition dataset as source were throwing a null pointer exception. This was traced to previous work done around retry handling for Oracle queries where there were issues identifying the correct column types; that previous work has been reverted to resolve this null pointer exception, and further work will be done to refine the solution to the Oracle CLOB DatabaseException.

Handling added for corrupted direct index
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
A corrupted dedicated index was causing a null pointer error. Handling for this has been added by way of an additional condition check for an improper direct index with no fields in the metainfoindex document, along with a filter to check if the category is null.

Removed incorrect role from accessible filter logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using JAWS, tabbing out from Close(X) and setting focus on the "filter by" section resulted in JAWS reading out "use arrows to move". This was not an available action, and has been resolved by removing role="listitem" from the RRFilters_logic.

Parameter added to allow skipping specific attachments during indexing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
An enhancement has been added which introduces the ability to control which attachments are indexed and which are skipped when attachment indexing is enabled. This is handled through the additional parameter called "purpose" which has the value "indexer", and it is included in the request to "D_pxGetFile" during incremental and batch indexing of attachments.

Check added for child join class when using ABAC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a join was applied on a report definition and the same join class had a child class to which ABAC was applied (for some property eg., isABC), an "invalidreference" exception (isABC) was generated. This was traced to the system taking into account the child class of the join class while running the report, and has been resolved by adding a check to handle this scenario.

Accessibility improved for filter pop-up buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
JAWS was not reading the buttons on the filters pop-up for a report in report browser. This has been resolved by adding helper text for the cancel button of pzReportConfigApplyCancel and for the Search icon of the pzAvailableValues.
