Dataflow with report definition source repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
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 8.6.3
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 8.6.3
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

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.

Export to Excel works for for report definition with duplicate columns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding a date column to a report definition (2nd column in the report), the data displayed correctly in the UI but Export to Excel failed with the error "Section 'pzRDExportWrapper' execution error on page '' of class 'Rule-Obj-Report-Definition'. : The Reference .pyDateValue(2) is not valid." This was traced to an out of bounds exception thrown if there were two or more columns with the same calculation. When preparing for export, the column with the duplicate calculation would not get added to the map of report UI fields. To resolve this, the system has been updated to allow report definition columns with the same calculation to be properly mapped to a UI field.

Handling added for drag-and-drop with deleted report templates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding a new report, an error appeared when trying to use drag-and-drop to add a column (Page List) from the Data Explorer in the report browser. This was traced to refactor work done to use the Record API throughout reporting: the ruleset on new reports was not being reset from a Pega- ruleset to an application ruleset, causing columns the referenced properties defined outside the platform to be rejected. This use case was missed because case types define their own report templates on creation, but in this scenario those had been deleted. To resolve this, the system has been updated to call pxChooseBestRuleset from pxShowReport in order to enable the use of properties defined in the application prior to saving the report.

Corrected report with combo chart in Case Manager portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After adding the required columns a report in the report viewer and then adding a combo chart and dropping the summarized column on the y-axes and group by column on X-axis, clicking on "done editing" generated the error "pyUI.pyChart: You must have at least two Aggregate Columns in the chart series .pyUI.pyChart.pyDataAxis(1).pyChartOutputType: A Combo chart requires at least 1 Chart Type be a Column". Investigation showed that the second DataAxis page was getting deleted in the pzCleanChartDataAxis activity, causing the validation to fail. This has been resolved by adding a 'when' rule to "pzChartIsSingleY" that checks for "SingleYAxisClustered" chart and refers the same in pzCleanChartDataAxis to skip the data axis deletion.

Repaired History class report column sorting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Attempting to sort any of the columns in a report using the History class did not render the results and the error "Cannot render the section" appeared. Tracer showed a Fail status for some OOTB activities with the message "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException". Investigation showed the logic in pzMergeAutoGenForProp activity was failing because the pyIsFunction property was not set on the UIField pages for function columns. To resolve this, the logic for pzMergeAutoGenForProp has been modified to get pyIsFunction from the field name.
