DSS added to handle merges with lower versions of Postgres
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, executing the batch campaign with volume constraint resulted in the second data flow DF_Wait failing with error message "ERROR: number of columns (1844) exceeds limit (1664)". This was due to the database set’s change (in 8.5) to use the database layer’s merge statement. Prior to that, the logic used "deletes and inserts". Depending on the version of Postsgres, the generated SQL statement for a merge statement is different. The “INSERT … ON CONFLICT … UPDATE” syntax is generated for Postgres 9.5+ AND when there is a PK constraint defined for the DB table. Otherwise, the complex UPSERT statement (old syntax) is generated, as was the case in this issue. This is a known issue in the Postgres server software where it mis-interprets the number of columns involved. i.e., it mistakenly counts the number of columns twice. As a result, the actual maximum columns allowed is only half of the official limit (1664). The same UPSERT statement does not cause the “exceeds limit” exception if there are 832 or fewer columns in the statement. To resolve this, an option has been provided to select between the “original logic” (deletes and inserts) and the “merge statements” logic by way of the DSS “decision/datasets/db/useMergeStatementForUpdates”. Setting “true” will use the merge statement logic, and setting “false” will use deletes and inserts. When the DSS is not defined, the default is "true" and the system will use merge statements in the form preferred by Postgres 9.5+.

Inline images retrieved for deferred-load email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When emails were defer-loaded, inline images with code entered into the non-cache section in pyExtractHtmlFromAttachment were not being displayed. This has been resolved by passing the current page parameter to pyExtractHTMLFromAttachment to convey the pyID.

Added JSoup handling for older Microsoft Outlook versions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Logging indicated that some emails were generating the error "pyextractlatestreplyfromhtml is resulting in java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object must not be null." This occurred when using an older version of Microsoft Outlook, and has been resolved by adding a check before removing the JSoup doc object.

Added API for Pega Call Team websocket reconnect
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When a call came in, the operator was not able to pick it up due to the popup only containing a reconnect section. This has been resolved by adding the disconnectAndReconnect API which will be used by Pega Call Team if the websocket reconnect limit exceeds 5.

Added deferred loading for email cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When there were a significant number of email interactions on an email case, delays were seen when loading the case in the UI. Investigation traced this to a high number of database calls along with the BLOBs also being open. To improve performance, the new rule pyDeferLoadEmails has been added which toggles the UI and loads emails faster. In addition, the button label has been modified to read "View all emails" in place of "Show all" while defer load is enabled.

Updated AgentName handling for QueueItemID
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
A report was showing as scheduled but no mail was received when it was supposed to run. Investigation showed this was due to the reports being corrupted, leading to the flow skipping the necessary Queue-For-Agent method. While there was a workaround of doing a "Save As" to create a new version of the report, this has been addressed by setting the agentName before saving to the database to handle missing agentName cases and ensure pyAgentname is always populated when pzQueueItemID is not empty.

Added check for attachment upload for filename ending in $
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
Attempting to upload a file to external web storage was failing if the filename's last character was $. This was traced to the system attempting to decode the name, and has been resolved by adding a check to see if there are at least two characters after $. If there are none, the decode step will be skipped.

Check added for empty SendAs in MSGraph
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using MSGraph, logging showed the errors "Could not parse the address into InternetAddress Objects, falling back to parse with the regex" and "Unable to use the configured "Send As" email address from Records. Will fall back to 'first' recipient of incoming email." This has been resolved by adding a check for a blank SendAs field.

Corrected duplicate record error message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When inserting a duplicate record in a grid, the error was shown at the harness level instead of the record level. This was traced to the error messages being removed from the step page, and has been resolved by updating the system so messages will not be cleared if the same value is being set.

Content-type values made consistent
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
The content-type for service APIs was returned as 'text' for 401 errors when using a custom authentication type instead of the parent-type/child-type format such as text/plain, text/html, application/json, etc. This has been corrected.
