DSS added to control BIX extraction time properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After upgrade from Pega 7.3 to Pega 8, downstream systems were failing to process the BIX extract manifest summary file. This was due to three columns which were introduced in Pega 7.3.1 to handle any failures during BIX incremental extraction: pxStartCommitDateTime, pxEndCommitDateTime, and pxLastSuccessFulCommitDateTime. To support better backwards compatibility, this fix introduces the below DSS to allow disabling of the new columns. BIX/disableSaveTimePropertiesInCSV BIX/disableSaveTimePropertiesInXML BIX/disableSaveTimePropertiesInDB

Added handling for client-side validation errors in sub-reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a sub-report was trying to access externally mapped fields or an optimized page property by JOIN of another class, the main report was unable to validate the Page property. This has been resolved by updating the activity code to handle client-side validation errors on main reports attempting to access the externally-mapped Page properties of another class in the sub-report.

Updated chart button markup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Some of the buttons were incorrectly displayed while clicking "Edit Report" from the Cosmos report browser. This was due to the buttons generating markup that was used to support older browsers in pzChartButtons, and has been resolved by updating the button markup.

Updated variable handling for filter logic to avoid reuse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When adding the property "ItemStatus" as a filter for a report, the validation message: "This property does not exist or has no column mapping" appeared. This was traced to an empty caption for a class join property used in the filter due to RRFilters_Logic reusing the strFieldName variable, and has been resolved by updating the variable handling to use a unique name, strPropName.

Resolved report filter section freeze
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When opening a report with a count column, changing the order of one of the report columns resulted in the report freezing and requiring the report to be closed and re-run. This was traced to a double filter popup appearing that did not close after the column sorting, which happened if the report definition was configured as a summary with an aggregated column such as "Count” combined with a "Do not display group headings" setting on the Report Viewer tab. To resolve this, a new step has been added in the Activity pzPopulateSortOrder to call the pzCancelFilterLogicChanges activity.

Executing operator ID shown for re-indexing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After update, the 'executed by' name for re-indexing in the search landing page showed "System" instead of the actual operator ID. This has been corrected.

Global obfuscation key initialized on first requestor call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using URLEncryption = true and SubmitObfuscatedURL = optional, attempting to export an Excel spreadsheet resulted in the error "Invalid character found in the request target". This was traced to the variable pega.d.globalobfuscateKey having a null value which was then converted to a byte array and decoded, generating improper characters in the URL. After a browser refresh, the correct value was set in pega.d.globalobfuscateKey and the export worked as expected. To resolve this, an update has been made to initialize the key on the very first call in PRRequestorImpl when the global obfuscation key is determined to be NULL instead of initializing the global obfuscation key by on-demand basis from HTTPAPI.

Signature map updated for fetching keys
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
MFA login worked with SAML 2.0 when the certificate was disabled but failed when the certificate was enabled in Auth Service. The error " "Signature algorithm is null" appeared. This has been resolved by updating the signature map to ignore case sensitivity while fetching keys.

RDA support added for Citrix XenApp
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Robot Runtime was not working in a Citrix XenApp environment when using the JWT token generated by the D_pxRoboticJWTToken data page to identify the user. This has been resolved by updating the scope of the datapage D_pxRoboticJWTToken from node level to requestor, which will allow the user information in the JWT token to be passed to the routing service and support the use of RDA in Citrix environments.
