DSS added to control BIX extraction time properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
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

Updated chart button markup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
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.

Handling updated for databse function GREATEST
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
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.

Condition check added to trigger search update
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Following work done to update deleting attachments for cases created through an email bot, search indexing was not updating automatically and a manual re-index was needed to allow the global search to work. This has been resolved with the addition of a condition check which will update the case when there is a delete operation done on the link page.

Elasticsearch will split queries to avoid URL length limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
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.

Added handling for client-side validation errors in sub-reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
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 variable handling for filter logic to avoid reuse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
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 8.6.4
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.
