Adjusted validation of literal value of a parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When mapping a parameterized when rule to the proposition filter, parameters passed from the proposition filter page were not getting flown to the when rule. This was caused by special character validation for a literal value of a parameter which necessitated putting the parameter value within quotes and which resulted in a parameter value mismatch at run time. To support this use, this validation has been disabled as parameter values would not get included within quotes. This change does not have any impact on when rule or proposition filter rules java generation.

OpenRule logic updated for GetRuleInfo
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The exception "InsufficientPrivileges:RuleExecutionDenied RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS PZGETRULEINFO" was thrown for some access groups when attempting to view a section from the end-user perspective on the Opportunity screen. Investigation showed this happened when a section had a table in which "Optimize code" was unchecked. If "Optimize code" was checked, then the exception was not thrown. This was traced to recent security changes in pzGetRuleInfo which affected the BAC registration process, and has been resolved by updating the way the openRule action registration logic invokes the activity.

Handling added for application which includes production ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

This was a missed use case, and has been resolved byupdating the logic to account for the scenario where an application includes a production ruleset.

Formulas corrected for GenerateExcelFile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, using pxGenerateExcelFile to generate an Excel file resulted in some formulas and values not displaying. This scenario used an Excel template with two tabs - one showing direct page values and the second displaying the calculated values of first sheet. In the exported file, the formula was not getting evaluated unless and until the cell was activated with the enter key. This is a known limitation, and a temporary solution has been made here to add parameters that force the formula evaluations on the saved Excel document when editing is turned on. A more complete solution will be included in the next patch release.

docx4j libraries updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After performing a Microsoft Word merge with a Word template, the error “Word found unreadable content in….” appeared while opening the Word document. This was traced to the older versions of docx4j not handling the latest Microsoft Word features, and has been resolved by upgrading the docx4j and related jars.

SortColumn direct invocation set to true
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Sorting on email account rules was generating an error. This was traced to previous security work that removed the ability to use direct invocation of the activity sortColumn from the client or a service, and has been resolved by setting "Allow direct invocation" to be true as well as adding the "AllFlows" (based on @baseclass) privilege.

Circumstance Definition rules save correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, attempting to save any circumstance definition that used multiple "or" conditions consistently failed during conflict detection. This was an inadvertent side effect of work done to resolve an out of memory error and has been resolved by modifying the Rule-Declare-!testConsistency java step:"int numRows = numOrs;" to"int numRows = numSubRows;".
