Timestamp fixed for Export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
When trying to do a Export to Excel on a report definition with one of the columns being a Date time property, an extra 'a' was seen in the date time columns in Excel. In this case, 'a' is valid for formatting Java datetimes while 'AM/PM' is the equivalent for Excel, so the 'a' will be replaced with AM/PM in the summary viewexcel data.

Missing buttons returned to Marketing report browser
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
After upgrade, the Report Browser in the Pega Marketing portal was missing the 'Add Category' and 'Add Report' buttons. This was due to a difference in the UI-kit for the header, and has been fixed.

Summary report count fixed when using filter prompt
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
The summary data count was not getting updated in a report unless the "Prompt for filter changes before displaying report" option on Report Viewer tab (Actions -> Refresh) was unchecked. This was an error in the refresh code related to the display prompt filter check and has been corrected.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
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.

Deferred load works inside custom row section of Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Deferred Load was not working inside a custom row section of a report definition. This was traced to the non-auto-generated mark up written for the customRowSection include not having the node_type="MAIN_RULE" name="BASE_REF" id="RULE_KEY" base_ref="" attributes. This led to the load manager which performs the defer load to get the base_ref as "pyReportContent" from the "ReportDisplay" section dom node. To resolve this, the RRDataListGeneration has been modified to set the proper base_ref to customRowSection include so the context/base_ref is passed to the customRowSection.

Export to Excel total result count disabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After upgrade, an imported report with more than 30k records took an excessive amount of time (6-7 minutes) to be exported to Excel after being run, and the resulting Excel file only contained one record. A child report having around same number of records was exported successfully in around 30 seconds. Analysis showed that during the export process, a thread dump was originating from the thread responsible for performing export. Co-relating this with alert logs showed a PEGA0042 alert around the packaging of the query. This was traced to the paging settings on the pyContentPage not getting properly set from the activity pxRetrieveReportData on step 14: the boolean that sets .pyContent.pyPaging.pyReturnTotalResultCount used a page that will always be empty on the upgraded system, leading to an error in calculating the total result count. To resolve this, fetching the total result count on Export to Excel has been disabled.

Onclick handler updated to resolve Report Definition UI issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After modifying the function logic in Report Definition, reopening it in the configuration modal dialogue displayed the function multiple times and it was not possible to open/edit the function. This issue was cosmetic and related to the UI representation of functions: the underlying clipboard page had the correct details regarding the custom logic and functioned as expected. Investigation showed the UI error was related to the onclick handler, and this has been resolved so the system correctly removes the onclick handler when required.

Added validation function to 'apply filters' to handle custom filtering
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
A custom filter section with the "Display custom section inline" checkbox checked and required input fields was not firing validation if the input fields were empty. Switching the focus away from the filter section caused validation to appear saying the filter could not be blank, but "Apply filters" (which is missing validation) was still clickable and the report updated. This has been resolved by adding a validateInput function to the "Apply filters" button of the pega_report_events file.

Large report pagination should use "Previous and Next only"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Some Report Definitions were getting timed out or facing gateway exceptions, primarily due to high time consumed by the DB Queries. Investigation showed the total result count process appeared to stop at the configured pyMaxRecords value as long as it was nonzero. This indicated the issue was related to changes made to fix the inaccurate behavior of the "Last" button in the responsive paginator which included removing logic that set pyMaxRecords to anything other than zero. To resolve this issue, those pagination changes have been reverted. The "Last" button should not be used when the paging mode is set to Numeric: in the case of large reports, the paging option should be set to "Previous and Next only".
