Simulation delete timing issue resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When attempting to delete a simulation, if the deletion process exceeded the system time-out or the space on the database required for undo was too small (as can occur when many simulations have been run and the simulation output table contains many millions of records), the mass deletion failed and the system became hung or returned a time-out screen which required logging out and in again. At that point it was seen that the simulation results had been removed from the list but the actual results deletion did not complete. This was caused by the simulation work item being closed first, followed by the delete of the table. In the case of a failed deletion because of any DB issue, manual intervention was required to delete the records from the table as the simulation object was no longer available. To resolve this, the sequence of steps while deleting the Batch WO from LPhas been updated to show the relevant error message in case of failures for any reason, and the work object is closed after the output table is deleted.

Aligned Connector lines in Process Modeler
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Upon opening a flow rule, the Connector lines in Process Modeler were rerouted inconsistently with what was the saved state of the rule. The root cause was traced to code defects that resulted in the incorrect display of an error message and the incorrect drawing of the connector lines when the process modeler is loaded. These have been corrected.

Corrected inheritance for Data classes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After migration, an API used to pull the list of concrete classes from RootClass Work- was pulling an additional class (Data-Portal-Padportal) when work- was supplied as an argument for rootclass. This additional class caused issues with reports due to it pointing to pr_history_data table and looking for non-existent columns. These inheritance issues have now been corrected.

Improved opening custom flow rules with Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Opening up a flow rule with many sub-process references was taking an excessive amount of time when using Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 due to general browser slowness and the system loading all referenced flow rules at that time. This has been resolved by tuning the JavaScript code to improve the performance of the viewer and to disable drilldown functionality from the server.

Updated config query for VBD date/time support
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When following the recommendation to add required date-time columns on VBD configuration tables for Oracle Golden Gate set up, the VBD configuration could not be saved to a database table from PRPC. This has been resolved by adding an updated configuration query to support replication.

HTTPS support added to DSM applications
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If the PRPC instance is accessed via HTTPS and the DSM applications (ADM & VBD) are installed on the same Tomcat configurations, the DSM services landing page did not provide the ability to say if the services were accessible via HTTPS. This is now possible through an added configuration option on the landing page to enable secure connection.

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+.
