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.

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.

Execution class parameter handling updated for scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The schedule was picking the wrong class to execute a report, choosing the report top class/current application class instead of the expected shortcut class mentioned in the report class of the schedule. This has been resolved by updating the parameter handling in the pzRunScheduleShortcut activity.

DSS added to control BIX extraction time properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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 chart button markup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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 8.5.6
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.
