Compensation added for Cassandra v2.2 not honoring count limits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
Running CassandraEstimateNumberOfRecordsOperation on a large data set was causing a ReadTimeoutException. Investigation showed that contrary to its documentation, Cassandra v2.2 ignores limits intended to stop all records from being counted. In order to compensate for this, the system has been modified to skip the first of two attempts to estimate the number of records (first cql count() query with limit 1000) and the estimated number of records will only be retrieved through JMX.

Flag set for using defer load context switching with Microsoft Internet Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
Defer load section was not working as expected due to Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 not maintaining the context of the section during busyIndicator hide. To avoid this, a flag 'pega.ctxmgr.skipContextSwitching' will be set during the hide of busy indicator if Microsoft Internet Explorer is used, and the harness switching context will then be decided based on this flag.

Manual value group addition support available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
In a test case created for a data transform containing a value group property, that value group property could be added by clicking the + sign in the left pane of the test case, but a value group property could not be added manually by clicking the add row button. This has been resolved by adding support for manually adding value list/value groups. The activity steps which were using @java function have also now been replaced with a getproperty function.

Race condition handling added to resolve stuck class loader threads
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
A JVM became unresponsive after new JVM traffic was brought in. In reviewing the threaddump, there were hundreds of threads that originated from PRClassLoaderDB.getDefinitionForName or PRClassLoaderDB.getorCreateDefinitionForName found in a "stuck" state waiting on a condition. Investigation showed there was a thread deadlock caused by the system loading class definitions while an external resource was asking for a snapshot of the resources being loaded. This has been resolved by adding handling for the race condition.

Added support for sorting by field value instead of localized value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
In a datapage-sourced dropdown with 'group by functionality' enabled in ascending order, the values were being sorted according to their localized value and not their field value. This was a difference between templatized and non-templatized handling, and has been resolved by adding the ability to sort the group label by field value in the templatized UI.

Corrected Reference value's description in Table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When a user was given 'property for value' as an ID and 'property for display text' like a name, launching the portal showed the display text correctly until 'refresh' was clicked, at which time the current section showed the property value instead of the property text. Investigation showed that the parameter string split inside the parameterised data page used as a dropdown source failed in the readonly case. This has been corrected.

Corrected dropdown focus issue with dynamic layouts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
The focus was not retained on the dropdown field whose property was used in the dynamic layout for the refresh condition. Investigation showed that in pzpega_ui_doc_focus.js, the function "focusNextElement" was setting pega.u.d.gFocusElement set to null after the first load. This has been corrected.

Thread label clipboard issue resolved for work objects using skipDCDataModelUpdation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
In some cases, when a case ID was opened in Designer studio, its corresponding thread name in clipboard was pxThreadName instead of caseID or workID. Tab labels are handled through the Declare_pyDisplay data page. Investigation showed the child page pyDisplay(Developer) of the parent page Declare_pyDisplay, which was expected to contain pyUIElements for each tab, was missing an element for the tab whose label was shown as threadName. As this error was only reproducible for work objects with the 'skipDCDataModelUpdation' property set as true in the 'pyWorkPage', this issue has been corrected by updating the show-harness activity step-2 so the 'skipDCDataModelUpdation' property value is explicitly copied from primarypage ('pyWorkPage' in this use case) to 'parameterPage'. In addition, an issue with filtering records based on Operator Preferences has been resolved by updating ActivityStatusContentHandler to use a simple Show-HTML of the same "ActivityStatusSuccess" content instead of going through an unnecessary harness execution during activity when there is no session established.

Null check added to resolve non-impacting InvalidParameter exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
Creating a child case from the SLA goal activity using the 'AddCovered' activity generated the message "Exception in queue item: cannot be null or blank". The error "com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.InvalidParameterException: cannot be null or blank" was also seen. However, no functionality impact was observed. This has been resolved by adding a null check to the getPortalName method, and modifying the HarnessUIBuilder.java file to add safe checks for whether 'portalName' is empty or not.
