Added handling for column size mismatch on Oracle import
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When upgrading versions of CMF, errors were generated when importing the Pega jar file. The exported schema has pyAccessibility and pyBrowserSupportLevel datatypes as "integer" with size 10, but on the target Oracle database the same column was defined as Number with default precision and scale (0, -127). While importing, the logic checks for column compatibility and was generating an alter statement based on this scale mismatch. This has been resolved by modifying the system to detect that the metadata is returning the new style of NUMBER column metadata handling it correctly.

DB Trigger logic refactored for better vw table syncing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
There are many times in customer environments where for whatever reason the database triggers are disabled for a period of time and thus the vw table gets out of sync. Typically in that case the triggers are reenabled and a statement like "update pr4_rule_file set pzinskey=pzinskey" is run to get the vw table populated correctly. However, if the system was being upgraded the statement would update an existing row in the vw table but it would not add any missing rows to the vw table during migration. To ensure that all rows are handled correctly, trigger logic has been completely refactored for 7.1.8.

Added support for -x and -y parameters to ApplicationBundle import
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, the use of the -x and -y parameters in the command line utility prpcUtils only worked with PegaArchives and not ApplicationBundle archives. In order to facilitate automation, the app bundle command line import command now honors the -x (override) and -y (skip) import parameters, and these options will be passed along to any nested par files.

Smoothed editing of data tables mapped to external DB
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
It was not possible to edit a data table mapped to an external database table with column name different from that of the property. To resolve this, the system will ensure that the external mappings take precedence while trying to update the data table.

Cleared exception during import of RAP by prpcUtils
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When attempting to import a RAP file through command line by using prpcUtils.sh, the build was successful and all the rules were imported but an SQL exception was generated related to the execution of Stored Procedure. The RAP file did not contain any code to execute stored procedure, so the execution was found to have been done internally by prpcUtils.sh. To prevent this, prpcUtils has been updated to use the data schema as the default schema for the connection while running against either of the DB2 dbs.

Changed Dependency Checker table-based cataloging to be case insensitive
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After updating, the Dependency Checker and Packager functions for v5 items in the table-base catalog features were not finding existing cataloged items that contained mixed case IDs. To resolve this, the dependency checking code has been modified to be case insensitive.

Improved hotfix detection
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Migrating from ML6 to ML7 was failing with an error reporting the system contained hotfixes that were generated after the release of ML7. This was due to the ML Readiness step incorrectly identifying pre-7.1 rules as having been updated after the upgrade to 7.1.6. This happened when the revalidate and save was run after the release of ML7, which updated the pxUpdateDateTime for the rules in question and led to them being caught by the validation. This was meant to catch hotfixes, and the handling has been improved to avoid this error.

Performance improvements for embedded page reference checks
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Significant performance differences were seen between opening custom rules in the developer portal and opening the same rules in an embedded page. This was traced to each embedded page in the stream checking to see if reference properties are present. To resolve this, DirectStream has been modified to cache the value of containsAnyReferenceProperties if it has already been checked so that it is not repeatedly checked when it is not necessary.

WebLogic tool generation updated for complexType schema
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
A red X error was seen for PRAsync MDB modules on the Resource Dependencies screen in the WebLogic console in deployments with WebLogic 11i or 12c. This was due to the EJB component (prbeans.jar) not being implemented to support complexType schema, and has been resolved by updating the Pega Platform WebLogic components to support complexType schema in the WebLogic tool generation.

Command line jar import handling improved
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When installing Smart Dispute and related strategic applications, exceptions occurred when generating a DDL via prpcUtils (e.g. prpcUtils.bat generateDDL) if any of the files listed in schema.archive.input did not contain schema changes or did not have a delta. This has been resolved by updating the system to better handle files that do not require a DDL to be generated.
