Updated report widget drilldown logic for better non-ASCII character support
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When a report in the report widget had a drilldown chart with a parameter containing certain non-ASCII characters, no entries for the drilldown filter were shown even when there was data that matched that filter. This was traced to the drilldown JavaScript for dashboard report widgets encoding the drilldown parameter twice, causing characters that were Unicode but not ASCII to be corrupted. This has been resolved by updating the logic for pzpega_chart_legacydrilldown.js and pzpega_control_actions_reportdefinition.js to ensure the parameter is not encoded twice.

Handling added for runtime exception on upgrade due to inaccessible external schema mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
If a system used external schema mapping, attempts to upgrade were failing with the error "Caused by: com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.ConfigurationException: Unable to obtain data source "java:comp/env/jdbc/PegaRULES", as it is undefined". This was traced to configuring external DADNs which were not accessible from the server where the upgrade was being run: an upgrade will fail if it cannot connect to an external datasource even if no changes need to be made to that datasource. However, because a PRRuntimeException was unexpectedly being thrown instead of a Database Exception, the exception was not properly caught and handled. This has been corrected.

Resolved error in editing flow rule assignment shapes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The submit of an assignment properties modal window was not closing the modal, and instead opened a new window with an error page indicating a NullPointerException. This happened whether or not there were changes made to the assignment properties, and occurred for the assignment shapes on any flow. This was traced to a UI limitation in the backward compatibility of the "parent.parent.pyWorkClass" property which caused the property reference to not be resolved for hidden controls in client side template. To correct this, updates have been made to "pzAssignmentTab" (in Data-MO-Activity-Assignment class ) and "pzPropertyPanel" (in Data-MO-Activity-Assignment-WorkAction class).

Drag and drop fixed for report editor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
An issue where it was not possible to drag properties to the report columns or filters in the report editor was traced to the HTML fragment RRBodyDiv outputting values from the paging settings in an unsafe manner, causing syntactically invalid JavaScript to be generated when the "Previous and next only" paging option was used. To correct this, RRBodyDiv has been updated to generate valid JavaScript even if some paging settings are blank.

Corrected applies-to class in Test case rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
On test case rule form with assertion type Result count Filter class MIDAS-SR and filter condition @endswith(.cid,".html"), opening the function builder using the gear icon and trying to use the Test feature of the Function builder resulted in an incorrect applies-to class. The result was for the Test case instead of showing correct Applies to class of MIDAS-SR. This was traced to the Filter class of the context page not being passed to the function builder in Test case rule, and has been fixed.

Additional validation added for administrator role name in current application
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When running an extract rule from designer studio, the when rule "hasadminrole" was getting called to check if the user has the "pegarules:sysadmin4" role. After upgrade, this when rule was returning false if "pegarules:sysadmin4" was defined in 'manage dependent roles', requiring the role to then be entered manually. This was traced to a condition where the BIX extract was being run from a CS application that did not have any access role with the current application name :Administrator, but instead used the access role name :SysAdm4, . To resolve this, an additional condition has been added to validate whether the current application has an access role with name "current application name:SysAdm4" in their access group to run BIX extract.

Corrected revalidate and save of Service REST rule after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After upgrade, opening an existing Service REST rule and trying to save it in a higher ruleset using the revalidate and save tool resulted in the error "pyResourcePathParams.pyParameterName : This field should not be blank". This was caused by the Service REST xml not getting updated and has been corrected by adding UpgradeOnOpen to the process.

Updated logic for imagepicker to resolve icon changes in containers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When attempting to change the expand or collapse icon, the error "pega.openUrilInModal.showModalDialog - error when calling callbackfunction : 'C.getElementById is not a function' in pega" was generated. Investigation showed that the browser-level JS file 'pega_ui_harness_deferred' was missing parameters needed to return the value from the showModalDialog method due to a hardcoded loop for the imagepicker only iterating through a set number of levels. This has been resolved by updating the logic to recursively find the document.
