Added check to pxUpdateDateTime to compensate for DST/UTC timestamp inconsistencies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
Existing customer data created during the DST transition hour in November had an incorrect pxUpdateDateTime, causing Obj-Refresh-and-Lock to disregard local changes and always pull from the database when saving a work object. This was traced to an inconsistency in how timestamp data for pxUpdateDateTime is saved; the value in the database column reflects UTC, while the value in the BLOB reflects the user's system time. This presents an inconsistency during DST as the system time will just move back 1 hour at 2 AM on DST, while UTC will continue on. Objects created during this single hour are out of sync by 1 hour, thus failing a check within Opener.isTimestampDeltaInTolerance(), which is called by OpenIfStale(), used within Obj-Refresh-and-Lock. To resolve this, if the pxUpdateDateTime is exactly one hour off when comparing the column and clipboard on an Open, the system will now ignore the optimization, re-open from the database, and compare again.

Help documents updated for DB2/zOS tablespace and aux tables DDL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
n Pega 7.3.1, the ability to explicitly generate create tablespace and aux tables DDL for a DB2/zOS database was added to the import wizard. For a Database-Admin-DB-Name rule for a DB2/zOS database there are dynamic system settings needed. For the PegaRULES and PegaDATA databases these DSS are setup as part of an installation/upgrade. To use this feature for other D-A-DB-Name rules the database configuration properties need to be set up with in Pega using prpcUtils. The help documents have now been updated with this information.

System status in Extractimpl corrected for BIX extraction failures
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When a BIX Extraction failed during parsing command line params the JVM went through normal shutdown while the expectation was to have an abrupt shutdown. This was traced to the System exit status not properly setting the error level var in Extractimpl to true, and has been corrected.

UI retains layout when RTE maximized for editing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
After using the 'Maximize' button in a Rich text editor in a section, the screen layout was incorrect after visiting another window and toggling back to the one with the RTE. This was a timing conflict: when the RTE is maximized CSS styles are captured and removed from the Harness, and whenever refresh section fires onChange, RTE is destroyed and recreated. To make sure the UI does not get distorted, pzpega_ui_richtexteditor.js has been modified to resize the RTE before destroy and to set the CSS styles back to the harness.
