Hidden filters will not be shown on the resulting report
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
After setting up a Report Definition to be visible in report browser with all filters hidden, editing and saving the report resulted in the filter values being visible on the report. This has been resolved by modifying pzResolveCopyFilters activity so that If the filter view option is "Read only, allow no changes" and "Filter not visible in Viewer", it will skip copying the filter values on to the report definition page.

Multiple-nodes rebuild LibraryMetadata to ensure all RUFs are present on change
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When performing a complete Application import into a clean installation, references to certain Rule-Utility-Functions went unresolved during the initial assembly. Investigation showed that after introducing a new Rule-Utility-Library or Rule-Utility-Function on one node in a cluster and then generating that, the other nodes in the cluster did not have the correct LibraryMetaDataCache for that RUL. Therefore, assemblies on those other nodes could throw a runtime UnresolvedAssemblyError. This has been resolved by modifying the way the Library subsystem processes the node changes events for Library Generation, to ensure that each node completely rebuilds the LibraryMetadata for that RUL so it contains all the RUFs.

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.

HTML conversion added to email IVA
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.4
When sending through emails that are in HTML format, HTML tags were visible within the Analysis of the email under Entities. These tags also potentially had an impact on topic detection, as the same email sent through in HTML would be classified under a different topic from one sent through as Plain Text.This issue originated because Email IVA received text as HTML while it expected plain text without HTML tags, and was traced to the use of an IMAP setting which sends only HTML to the listener. This has now been fixed such that If any HTML is received by email IVA, it will be converted to plain text via JSoup APIs in the service method as the first step.

Added handling for cases where IE causes a SAXParseException
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.4
Numerous SAXParseException messages were seen in the log file, and the queryString showed the pyDeleteDocumentPg being referenced. This was traced to the method used by Internet Explorer to construct an HTTP request: IE sends the header and body of the request in separate TCP packets, but for an unknown reason in this case the body packet goes missing. To resolve this, a toggle has been introduced which will send the pyDeleteDocumentPg request as GET if pega.u.d.GET_REQUEST_DELETEDOCUMENT is set to true in userworkform. In a normal flow without this variable, the request will pass through the normal flow.

Handling added for summary columns in Export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.4
When a field has an aggregate function in Report Definition, the column alias changes and is not the same as the property name. The consequence is a mismatch between the result set column name and the property name from the property list created beforehand. This results in blank fields when using the "pxDownloadDataRecordsAsCSV" activity for Export to Excel. In order to support the export of summarized columns in Report Definition, an enhancement has been added that uses the column label as an alias for aggregate fields in the native SQL builder of the exportData API to form a map between the property name and the alias name and use it while iterating over the result set.
