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.

Updates made for usage validation utility Run report checkbox and buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
The 'Review mode only' checkbox wasn't working for any browser, and the 'Run Report' button wasn't working in IE. This has been resolved by updating the javascript used to invoke the Run Report button to be better integrated with IE, and by adding additional handling to set the ID for the checkbox.

ADM pulse timing changed to inprove performance on very large clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
ADM uses a pulse that checks if any models need to be updated. This uses a Cassandra query which has no "where" clause, causing poor performance for very large clusters. For immediate relief of this issue, the pulse configuration has been updated to increase the timing from 30 to 300 seconds so it fires less often. Model updates typically happen every x hours and often the pulse will not detect any models that would need to be updated. Further improvements in this process will be available in a future release.

Resolved case lock release improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
Cases created through the create work object were unnecessarily holding onto locks for up to two hours. This was traced to a defer-write scenario for mobile devices which did not return the correct status needed for "no further assignments". In order to resolve this issue, a new parameter "returnNextActionInfo" of type boolean has been added to svcPerformFlowAction. This parameter will be always set as false when calling this activity from sync up so all locks will be closed and released.

GenerateContainer updated to prefer icon given in skin over hardcoded icons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
When trying to change the Expand/Collapse icon for dynamic layout by defining a custom format in the app skin, changes made in the Expand icon image and Collapse icon image were not reflected. This was due to the CSS selector being overriden with a hardcoded arrow icon instead of automatically taking the icon from the skin rule. To resolve this, the selector and conditions used in GenerateContainer.java have been modified such that the icon added in the skin should be picked automatically instead of any hardcoded icon available.

Accessibility enabled Layout group tabs browsing corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
When using Layout group (Tab) or a Tabbed Layout for viewing client information in Tabs with Accessibility enabled, the system was reading each tab and its content but then focus was returning to the browser and tracing through all elements before moving on to the next tab. This was traced to an incorrect tabindex setting in the pzpega_ui_template_layout_header file, and has been fixed.

Logic fixed for displaying Multi-Select control values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
The Multi-Select control loadResults method has been updated to resolve an issue where If two results started with the same phrase, on selecting one of the results the other one was not displayed in the dropdown. In addition, cache handling has been updated to resolve an issue where a Multi-Select control loading on cascading drop-down was loading the previous values.
