Updated FieldLevelAuditing logic for page comparison
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Optimistic locking was resulting in orphan assignments and the error "Error: Flow Not At Task, Error: Flow Removed". In addition, Get Next Work was causing duplicate Field Level Auditing records. This was traced to a missed use case in the logic used in pxFieldLevelAuditing where previousPage and PrimaryPage are compared to see whether they are equal or not, and has been resolved by adding one more condition to mark previousPage as null when the update date time or commit date time are not updated as part of processing.

Validation error message corrected for delegated SLA rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When delegating any SLA rule to a Business user like the Manager Access group, editing it from the Case Manager portal did not give an option to configure seconds in that available text field (label hh:mm) even though the validation error stated that the time needed to be in hh:mm:ss format. The pzDelegatedSLAGoal, pzDelegatedSLADeadline and pzDelegatedSLAPassedDeadline sections do not include seconds field, which is a difference from Designer Studio (hh:mm:ss). For this update, the validation error message has been corrected to indicate only hh:mm is used while delegating the SLA rule. An enhancement is planned in a future version to support the hh:mm:ss format for this use.

CheckFlowDependencies query performance improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In order to improve performance on very large tables, the pxCheckFlowDependencies activity has been modified. Previously, checking whether a dependency exists retrieved all columns. The updated query will instead return a count.

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.
