Corrected HTML error generated on export to PDF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After exporting a report to PDF, the PDF could be viewed but repeated instances of the error "<th> missing ‘>’ for end of tag" were logged. This was traced to missing the closing '>' for th in the pzRRDataListHeaderRow HTML rule when "Enable column command menu" is unchecked in ReportViewer options, and has been corrected.

Report Definition filter editing shows all values correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After launching a report, certain values were not populated on the pop-up when editing the filters or the commas separating the values did not appear. This was traced to the activity pzGetSelectedValues containing an older implementation of column type checking, causing it to report some embedded property references as being of type "Included Page" instead of the type of the ultimate property. This has been resolved by updating step 1 to only use this logic if pyDataType is not set, which should already be set for all filters and columns, and the formatting has been corrected.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from RD
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
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.

Logic updated to allow page property and declare index with the same name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
A Property which was in a page list which in turn was embedded in a Page was not visible in the Report Browser. This was traced to the two properties sharing the same name, and was caused by a check which ensured only entries with unique names were added. In order to support this configuration, logic has been added to pzAddPropListForClass_TreeGrid such that if a page property and declare index share the same name, they are both added to the tree grid.

Parameter added to prevent name localization in Dev Studio Reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Running the DataTableEditorReport against a customer table translated names that matched localized values, such as "Mr. Block" became "Mr. Sperren" when the locale was set to de_DE even though the property was marked as "Do not localize" in UI Controls in the report definition filter. To resolve this, the parameter 'pyskiplocalization' has been added for use in the RRFilters_logic and while displaying the select Values popup.

Queue processor correctly moves items to Broken Items
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When an exception occurred while Queue Processor processed an item, he queue item was not moved to Broken Items. The error " inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB DatabaseException caused by prior exception" was generated. This has been resolved by modifying the NativeSQL builder and NativeSQLBatchExecutor to allow the batch of queries to be retried. Additional changes were also added for Oracle databases to identify the correct column types.

Date/time filter works in source column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
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 8.5.5
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.

Secure shared link generation added to scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When a scheduled report with a link was sent in email, clicking the link displayed an access denied message. To support this use, logic has been added to pytaskoutputprocessor in the pega-scheduledtask-reporting and pega-scheduledtask classes that will create a secure encrypted URL using the PublicLinkURL function.
