Handling added for Oracle "NUMERIC" type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a product rule was created in an environment using Oracle, importing the product into the cloud environment with database table schema changes resulted in errors. This was traced to a change in Oracle's JDBC driver which was reporting Number as a JDBC "NUMERIC" type instead of the previous "DECIMAL". Pega uses the NUMBER data type and expected a type=DECIMAL for an Oracle number, causing the errors. This has been resolved by adding a check for flex numbers if column is NUMERIC.

Updated retainLock for DoClose activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After sending an external email notification from a case, attempting to use the "close" button resulted in an access denied error. This was traced to a missed use case for recent security improvements which resulted in not setting the required parameter retainLock for the DoClose activity, and has been resolved.

GetChildcases handling updated for large numbers of cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a very high number of child cases being processed contained a wait shape that was dependent on the movement of a parent case, some of the cases were moved to the next step of the flow automatically while others required a manual command to ResumeFlow. In extreme cases where many child cases were waiting, a node crash could occur. This was traced to the pzGetChildcases report having a maximum value of 500 lines, and has been resolved by increasing the maximum number of rows to retrieve to 9999 in the Data Access Tab of the pzGetChildCases report definition. In addition, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified to perform with a higher number of cases, and DSS(MaxRecords) logic has been added to split the child cases into multiple queue items for each access group to decrease load on each thread process.

Audit message displays correct parameter value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The Audit message showed "{1}" instead of displaying the parameter value dynamically. This was traced to the pyInstructions field value which contained the message "Please approve or reject this {1}", and has been resolved by updating the pzInstructionsForApproval rule so the correct value is displayed.

Check added to prevent duplicate approval by single agent
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When using a cascading Approvals process supported both by a web access button or by responding via email, a single agent could use both methods and advance a case an additional step as if they were the next approval level. This was due to the system only checking the pzInsKey when processing the approval while the assignment key will be the same for the cascading approvals assignments. This has been resolved by introducing a datetime check to validate if the email approval assignment creation datetime and the one in the database have same value; if yes the approval process will proceed and if not it will exit.

Check added for parent case dependency if deferred-save is used
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After updating the status of a parent case to "Pending-ChildCaseDependency", the wait shape for the child case that should have been triggered by the status did not work and the child case remained on hold. This was a missed use case for the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity where defer-save operations on Index-AssignDeps class was not considered, and may happen when the Queue Processor is evaluating the dependencies while instances to Index-AssignDeps are not committed yet. To resolve this, code has been added to check the entry of the parent case dependency in deferred-save if its not present in Index-AssignmentDeps table.

Error handling updated for Data-Work-Attach-File
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
If a file is uploaded which has the same name as an existing case attachment or if any issue happens during file attachment, the attachment will fail and an error message is displayed with an option to cancel the operation. However, even if the upload was not successful the related Data-WorkAttach-File instance was created and persisted in the Workattach table. Investigation showed this was caused by the process for persisting the Data-WorkAttach-File record occurring prior to the process that returns the errors, and this has been resolved.
