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.

Database primary keys generated as NONCLUSTERED for imports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
When a primary key was defined for a table and the table was exported and then imported, the primary key was generated as CLUSTERED. This resulted in an MS SQL Cluster Index violation because all Pega-shipped tables generated during installs/upgrades have a PK constraint index with NONCLUSTERED index type as it allows for a longer key. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating the system such that when importing with MS SQL database, the primary key index is made NONCLUSTERED all the time so it will be consistent with the base platform.

Pega Catalog custom upload control modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
Attempting to upload a catalog.zip file caused the system to hang and thread dumps were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to the custom control used to upload the catalog, which was posting the entire content in form data rather than sending a multi-part request. The control contained both legacy code which used form.submit() and encoding along with new code that used SafeURL and sent an async request. With this, encoding could not be set to multi-part in case of an AJAX request. To resolve this, the catalog upload control has been modified to use the appropriate legacy code that performs form.submit() and sets the encoding properly.
