Added WS-addressing UI check
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Connect SOAP calls were failing sporadically with a Message Addressing Property error while calling external services even when WS-Addressing was off. This happened when the WS setting was modified: the addressing module is engaged with first call of connector, and there was no cache clearing if the option was turned off for subsequent calls. Code has been added to check the addressing handler status and process it appropriately.

Email Listener timeout tuned for EAR deployments
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When the email listener encountered an error in installations with EAR deployments, it stopped processing emails until the listener was restarted manually. This was caused by the Timer variable being static in EAR deployments with no logic available to reset it, so it continued to grow over time and could result in sleep times of days. Logic has now been added to reset the timer. The default sleep time has also been set to increase 30 seconds each time an error is encountered to a max of 90 seconds (sleep times are 5 , 30 , 60, 90 seconds) at which point it will reset.

Added integration for Microsoft Azure Root Certificates
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Attempting to implement Single Sign On using MS AZURE AD was failing. This was due to the Microsoft Azure Root Certificates not being correctly configured/imported into the target Application Server. Microsoft Technical Support was engaged and recommended manually exporting the required certificate from Azure and importing into the target environment as a workaround, and this integration has now been addressed with updates to the XML Security ResourceBundle.

Fixed handling issues with substitutions enabled Parse XML rules
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Parse XML rules generated from an XML schema (xsd) saved in draft and "Not available" were generating Java errors when attempting to check out the rules and make them available. This happened when there were substitution elements and an embedded reference to the same element, and was caused by improper handling of the substitution helper method. This has been corrected.

Resolved Connect SOAP header mapping issue
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In the Connect SOAP rule, a Request tab configured with a Request Header field using XML Stream option was missing the PEGA tag in the generated SOAP header. This was caused by an error in the Axis stack and has been corrected to ensure all elements defined in the MapFrom XML rule are correctly generated.

Datetime properties format improved for backwards compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After upgrading, the search API was returning datetime properties in an incorrect format, causing a page error that was sometimes visible to an end user. The error only occurred if additional processing was happening in that page that caused the validation dictionary to launch. The root cause of this problem was a backwards compatibility defect related to Elastic Search, and it has been corrected.
