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.

Documentation updated for altering data type to Timestamp to avoid duplicate data in Decision Hub
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
By default, the pxOutComeTime column has a Date data type in the pr_data_ih_fact table. This may cause duplicate data issues. To resolve this, the 8.5 and 8.6 installation and upgrade guides for Pega Customer Decision Hub have been updated to include a new procedure "Modifying column definitions to use the TIMESTAMP datatype in an Oracle database". Performing this procedure will allow users to avoid the duplicate data issue. All documents are available from the Pega Customer Decision Hub product page.

HTML tags escaped in Audit History field values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The case narrative section was showing case statuses with encoded special characters such as % or ( ), resulting in entries such as "Status changed to Complete &# 40;approved& #41; !@##$: %^& amp;*&# 40;&# 41;_&# 43;.</div>". This has been resolved by updating the PyMemo field from type Text Input to DisplayAsLiteral for case narrative, which matches the setting for case history.

Collaboration control hidden if data type is delegated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When collaborating using a customized CaseManager portal with some delegated data types, the admin user refreshing the Data Type view changed the collaborator's view from the portal to show the Data Type tabs, allowing the second person to open rules (properties, Data Pages, etc) and see the configuration even though they could not make any changes. This has been resolved by updating pzDataTypeDelegated to display the collaboration control only if pzDelegation is false.

Corrected doubled tag removal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After adding two tags for a Service case, attempting to delete the first tag resulted in the second tag also being removed. When three tags were present in the case, deleting the first tag caused the first and second to be deleted. Investigation showed this was caused by the run activity pyRemoveTagLink being called twice in run time, and has been resolved by updating the run activity.
