Enhanced error handling for exceptions generated by import
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After upgrading to a single schema on Oracle 11.2 database, the system started up showed the login page, but once logged in a blank Screen/UI would be displayed and errors were logged indicating "Failed to resolve rule file". The rule file varies depending on the content source. This issue was caused by exceptions not being handled properly by import, and has been resolved by modifying the runWithRequester method (importImpl.java) to check for Exception as a return object object from the method invocation, and propagating the exception if one is returned.

Added fallback keyinfo handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a SAML assertion response is received in the authentication activity, an error indicated the KeyInfo was missing in the signature. This was caused by a lack of redundancy in the keyinfo handling that caused an exception when keyinfo was not included in the SAML response. Support has now been added to check the certificate in the truststore where the certificate from IDP metadata would have been imported, and there is an added null check in the debug logs.

Corrected inheritance for Data classes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After migration, an API used to pull the list of concrete classes from RootClass Work- was pulling an additional class (Data-Portal-Padportal) when work- was supplied as an argument for rootclass. This additional class caused issues with reports due to it pointing to pr_history_data table and looking for non-existent columns. These inheritance issues have now been corrected.

Handling added for temp install directory names with spaces
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If the install directory name contained spaces, the install failed at the point where the directory was used as a script parameter due to the parsing handling the name up to the space as one parameter and after the space as another parameter. In order to resolve this, handling has been added to allow temp directory names with spaces.

Improved opening custom flow rules with Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Opening up a flow rule with many sub-process references was taking an excessive amount of time when using Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 due to general browser slowness and the system loading all referenced flow rules at that time. This has been resolved by tuning the JavaScript code to improve the performance of the viewer and to disable drilldown functionality from the server.

Added table-based cataloging
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The Update Manager catalog has been updated to reside in the Pega database instead of in the file system. This will facilitate cataloging in a multi-node environment, allow for reporting and other visibility into the catalog itself, and improve performance of dependency checking.

Updated cache searching for Obj-Browse on a class mapped to external table
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Unnecessary queries were being fired while using Obj-Browse on a class mapped to external table. This was caused by a class mapped to an external table and using Obj-Browse on that class fired queries to the metadata to get the columns instead of searching in the caches. The system has been updated so that the caches are read instead of firing querying the metadata every time to get the list of columns.
