Help information updated for using Elastic Search with Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
The support article "Configuring a report definition to run against an Elasticsearch index" has been updated to clarify that the search can pass multiple values with a space in pySearchString as it does OR operation on all the fields, and that filters in the report definition will be used when executing the report directly or when calling the report in the pxRetrieveSearchData activity.https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/system-administration/85/configuring-report-definition-run-against-elasticsearch-index

Additional diagnostic logging added for ElasticSearch startup issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
The PyIndexerState was stuck in Starting status during node initialization. This issue could occur if the filesystem became hung due to network level issue while scanning entries from /etc/mtab, resulting in a lock which was not released correctly. In order to better determine which node entry in a cluster may be responsible for the hang, an update has been made which will use a temporary virtual environment to repeat the part of the initialization phase responsible and generate additional logs for debugging. To activate this, the PegaSearch.Diagnostics logger must be set in DEBUG mode. This duplicated virtual initialization will not interrupt the normal initialization.

Updated replica management for search clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When using a cluster with two Universal nodes in the cluster, a daily restart process where the second node was not started until the first was fully up resulted in Search initialization failing for the first node while becoming active on the second node. This was traced to the methods used in increasing and decreasing replicas. This has been resolved by revising the handling of ElasticSearch node lifecycle and replicas through a new option "Dindex.searchNodeCount " which includes a specification for the number of expected search nodes. If this option is not present, the old method will be used.

Parameter added to prevent name localization in Dev Studio Reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Running the DataTableEditorReport against a customer table translated names that matched localized values, such as "Mr. Block" became "Mr. Sperren" when the locale was set to de_DE even though the property was marked as "Do not localize" in UI Controls in the report definition filter. To resolve this, the parameter 'pyskiplocalization' has been added for use in the RRFilters_logic and while displaying the select Values popup.

Handling updated for INativeSQLBuilder with ABAC enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When trying to import into a data type, the error "Exception occurred during data import pxW-886: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: INativeSQLBuilder not initialized properly" was generated. Investigation showed that when Add or Update was chosen with ABAC enabled during import, a null pointer exception occurred while getting the class definition. This has been handled by adding an extra null condition check.

Date/time filter works in source column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
The date/time filter was not working in the Source column for a report definition. This was traced to "pxCreateDateTime" resolving and storing the pyDataType in the report as "DATE TIME". While "DATE TIME" is an acceptable data type it was not supported by pzGridSortPaginate and thus the filter did not work. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating pzGridSortPaginate to check the dataType as both "datetime" and "date time".

Helper text added to improve close icon accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
After opening a report, the "X" close icon was not read by JAWS and was not functional when JAWS was running. Investigation showed that the ReportEditorHeader section did not have Helper Text for the Close icon; this has been added to improve accessibility.

Button code updated for report filters using modal templates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
When the format of 'Simple' button was changed for focus, the button created did not return the expected results. This was traced to the 'Cancel' button in Reports -> Filter being created using outdated code from the pzReportConfigApplyCancel section, and has been resolved by updating the pzReportConfigApplyCancel and pzModalTemplateAppearance sections and upgrading the buttons.
