Independent query logic inserted for non-resolved rules to avoid non-applicable columns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
Nothing was displayed under "Revalidate and save" for Rule-Ruleset-Name and Rule-Ruleset-Version. In Tracer there was an error message saying that "There was a problem getting a list: code: 207 SQLState: S0001 Message: Invalid column name 'pyRuleAvailable'. " Investigation showed that because the system was using the same logic for resolved and non-resolved rules, Rule-Ruleset-Name and Rule-Ruleset-Version were looking for the column pyRuleAvailable which was not applicable because non-resolved rules don't have this column. To resolve this issue, a separate query executor has been added for non-resolved rules as there are a few columns related to resolved rules that are not applicable for those that are not resolved.

Opening WO from another workpool maintains the original access group and pool
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
Opening work objects from another workpool permanently switched the pool of the requestor to the other access and work group if the requestor had permissions for it. This has been corrected.

ADM initialization modified to eliminate unnecessary keyspace creation triggers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
On startup, ADM issues a Cassandra query to create one of its keyspaces if it doesn't already exist. To do this, it was set to require creation level permissions whether it created the keyspace or not, but those permissions may be considered a potential security violation if the Cassandra instance is shared with other teams. If permissions were restricted to only below key spaces used by Pega, then the ADM node would not start up. To resolve this, the way ADM initializes its keyspaces and tables has been modified so that queries requiring 'create keyspace' permissions are not triggered if the keyspace already exists. These changes also include code that ensures that keyspace and table creation can only happen on one node in the cluster at a time.

Corrected default parameter passing to fetch childcases audit details
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
After upgrade, Child case audit details in a Parent Case were not visible even after checking the Show Subcases option. This was traced to refactoring work done in an earlier version; in earlier releases, the parameter ShowSubCases defaulted to true if it was not already present. Later during refactoring, a call to pzFetchCaseStatusUpdate was added but did not include support for passing the parameter page if the parameter had been set by default instead of explicitly being included. Since the parameter was missed, the subcase audit details would not be fetched. This has been corrected so the parameter needed will be passed and fetch the subcases.

Check added to format simplified Chinese date generation to match system expectations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
"When the browser language was set to Chinese (simplified) and a template was used for an application, an invalid date exception was generated. This was caused by a difference in handling between the moment.js function used to format the datetime, and Pega. The moment javascript formats dates with the below 6 meridiem for Chinese locales (zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-tw):凌晨 - Early morning 早上 - morning 上午 - morning (AM) 中午 - noon 下午 - in the afternoon (PM) 晚上 - at night But the Pega server only accepts two standard meridiem i.e. 上午 - morning (AM) and 下午 - in the afternoon (PM). Due to this, using an unsupported setting resulted in an error. To resolve this, a check has been added for the Chinese locales (zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-tw) that will adjust the non-supported formats to be either 上午 - morning (AM) or 下午 - in the afternoon (PM). Additional support has also been added to handle this function for iPad.

Added check for visible SmartInfo so focus is maintained
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
After setting up a harness that displayed page-level messages at the top and bottom with "info" icons in a grid that displayed SmartInfo, hovering on one of the "info" icons when a page-level message was displayed caused the page to scroll up to the page-level message at the top of the harness instead of displaying the SmartInfo popup. This has been resolved with the addition of a check for visible SmartInfo in pzpega_ui_doc_errors.js so the focus is properly set.

CMIS Timestamp function updated to support more timezones
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
When trying to edit any attachment , a null pointer exception was generated from the out of the box activity pygetobjectfromAPPCMISConnector by the pzFormatCMISTimestamp function in the class PRDateFormat.java. This was traced to CMIS using a library that did not support all the possible timezones for a timestamp. To resolve this, the RUF pzFormatCMISTimestamp has been updated to use java.text.SimpleDateFormat as it currently supports the highest number of timezones and permutations in the CMIS timestamp format. A check has also been added so that if a timezone cannot be found, the date is simply not converted and a warning is logged.

Controls updated to handle hidden values in finishassignment submission
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
A SECU0001 alert was thrown from the out-of-the-box function finishassignment upon the submit of assignments. This was traced to an alert generated while attempting to post the feed even though there was no Pulse gadget used in the work object, and was due to the handling of hidden fields as read-only. Since the read-only values were not editable, they should not be submitted with the request body; this has been corrected by modifying the hidden control entry handle such that hidden property is considered as editable-filled. Controls have also been added to pxHidden to prevent potential misuse.

ModalCancelAction activity clipboard removal updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
Clicking on the jump/when button on the activity step and then trying to expand any step in the Rule-Obj-Activity.pyModalCancelAction activity was resulting in the error "The property RH_1.pyTempModalPage was of mode String while adoptDictionaryDefinition(ImmutablePropertyInfo, boolean, boolean) was expecting Page mode. Details: the mode has been reset to match the property's definition." This has been corrected by modifying the code to use property-remove instead of property-set to remove the clipboard page.
