Added handling for custom skin using the $ symbol for value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After upgrade, using a custom style sheet to display the $ symbol prior to values being shown or entered caused the application skin to not log and throw an error. This was caused by a missed use case for adding $ in css :before or :after content due to a dependency on this "$" notation for fetching right mixin color from skin color. The array index out of bounds exception was generated by the statemachine parser while handling special characters because it considered the quotes of csscontent to be corrupted. To resolve this, an extra check has been added for handling """ and "'" cases in cssCustomParser.java and junits have been updated.

Data flow region switching method added to prevent truncating event strategy data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
An enhancement has been added to allow customers to switch data flow execution from one region to another without clearing event strategy data. This process looks like (1) Dataflow is started on one region. (2) Dataflow is paused in same region. (3) Dataflow is started in second region. Previously, step 3 would delete the existing event strategy data. To prevent that, a new run option has been added named 'pyDataFlowStorageTruncateOnStart'. By default, this is set to true and truncation will occur. If set to false, the event strategy data will not be deleted.

Modified pzPopulateTrainingandTestDetails to resolve input error in test model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After creating a text model, trying to update it resulted in errors. This was caused by the input bean for pzPopulateTrainingandTestDetails getting reset and causing a nullpointerexception while trying to load the spell checker because the taxonomy data was empty. This has been fixed by ensuring the input param object is created after setting the taxonomy data. A null check has also been added in the creation process of the input param object in pzPopulateTrainingandTestDetails.

Open API passes 'true' for aUnlockOnCommit parameter to minimize pr_sys_locks table filesize
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The Archive/Purge Wizard was not removing the locks acquired during the execution from the pr_sys_locks table, resulting in locks remaining in the table for up to three days. This could potentially cause an enormous filesize and lead to other processes failing to acquire locks due to contention on the table. To resolve this, the system will pass 'true' for aUnlockOnCommit parameter on the open API so that the lock is released on commit of the deferredDelete on purged instances.

Restarting the SVM training analysis checks for existing model request to continue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When creating a predictive model there was an issue with completing the SVM training analysis either due to error or browser crash. In previous versions of Designer Studio the session would stay alive and continue to execute, however more recent versions of the decision analysis's portal expected the user to keep the session active in order for the model to complete even though for long-running model training it is not viable to keep a session open for many hours. This was caused by the model generation process being kicked off again when the wizard was relaunched, and has been resolved by adding a check to the relaunch that will look for an existing model generation request and continue with the same request if one is found.

Code added to format location header for redirect response in IE
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When using Internet Explorer, authentication was working but the portal did not load. This was traced to IE mandating the presence of a location header in the response: an HTTP 303 "See Other Response" was being returned along with the initial portal HTML payload, but recent modifications to SAML 2.0 to use the PRAuth Servlet were missing this specific redirect case. To resolve this, generic code has been inserted that adds the location header in all redirect cases.

Fixed single logout for Mashup applications and updated logging for pzAuthServiceSelector
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When the GOC (Global Operations Console) application was added as a mashup application to MSP (My Support Portal), logging off from MSP showed the GOC session in a disconnected state despite them using the same SSO application service. The issue was traced to homeurl not being stored properly in mashup use cases, and has been resolved by getting the property homeurl from pxRequestor page instead of pxThread page. In addition, the pzAuthServiceSelector activity was including an 'infoForced' log message. Although the redirect URI does not contain any confidential information, the 'state' parameter should not be visible in logs. This has been handled by changing oLog.infoForced to oLog.debug().

RRChartDiv tries resize three times before exiting to prevent high CPU usage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
Very high CPU usage was reported when two or more tabs were open, even when there was not actual work being performed in the app. This was traced to a chart in Team Dashboard that was displayed with "No data to display"; because the toolbar height was always 0, the resize callback was going into an infinite loop. This has been fixed by modifying the logic in pzRRChartDiv to only try the resize three times to get the height of toolbar or slider before exiting.

Added check for external Cassandra cluster to avoid unnecessary DDS pulse error logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
After upgrade, DDS pulse errors were filling up the jvm.out logs. This was caused by a check in system_auth keyspace that was redundant for sites running their own Cassandra cluster (external). To fix this, DDS pulse operation will check If the Cassandra cluster is external; if it is, it will not check system_auth keyspace and will Omit DDS pulse operation actions except update logging.
