Updated dedicated index reindexing check
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Attempts to reindex were not successful after a dedicated index failed with the error "Not enough active shards for index work to meet write consistency of quorum". This has been resolved by updating the system to validate the cluster state for the dedicated index name instead of the work index name when performing a dedicated index Reindex.

Check added for child join class when using ABAC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
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.

DSS added to control BIX extraction time properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
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 8.7.1
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.

Handling updated for database function GREATEST
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
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.

Corrected filtered column list sorting in Report Browser
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Sorting was not working in Report Browser for a column list when a filter category was selected. This has been resolved by modifying the pzReportListSort activity to set the correct parameters in step-1 and setting pzSetCategoryParam to retain the sortTitle parameter in step 1 with an added step -2 to call the pzReportListSort activity.

Elasticsearch will split queries to avoid URL length limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Elastic Search Functionality was not working and showed the status as Offline. Investigation showed that when an external Elasticsearch setup had an index prefix length = 200 and a large number of dedicated indexes, the error "too_long_frame_exception, reason: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes" was generated. In this case, the system was working with approximately 87 dedicated indexes and the name for each of them was sent over the URL, resulting in this error message. This has been resolved by updating the system to split queries so as to not exceed the HTTP line limit in Elasticsearch.

Updated chart button markup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
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 8.8
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.
