Work objects can open in multiple tabs with Layout group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After implementing the Worker portal with Layout Group(Tab) to open work objects and other options (Pulse, Spaces, My Cases etc.) in multiple tabs, the tabs opened as expected the first time but after all of the tabs were closed any newly opened cases appeared in popup windows instead of tabs. Investigation showed that when the last tab was closed, the display was set to the main div container of the ajaxcontainer so opening the work object again used a new window. Tab Group has been deprecated in the current Pega version, but the site has a requirement to open the cases in same way as they appeared with Tab Group; to resolve this, support has been added by making the width 0 for the active header highlighter instead of using display none for the main container for this configuration.

Client Side required validation applied to dropdown Date field
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
The mandatory validation on submit of the screenflow screen was not being triggered even though 'Required' was configured on the Date field.This was traced to the validation being applied to a hidden field when the date time control is configured in dropdown mode, and has been resolved by adding a condition for validating this configuration.

Class list updated when using ActivateDocument in portal navigation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
Global search worked the first time it was used, but failed after another case was opened from the dashboard or there was a click on any landing page home, dashboard, or space. Investigation showed this was caused by the pySearchText being blank in the clipboard, which was traced to a harness context issue related to pega.desktop.activateDocument being used in pzPortalNavigation on DynamicLayout with Application Logo and Application label. To resolve this, an update has been made that will update the class list with the proper one when the data-harness-id is set.

Hotfix hashmap cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A DL installation failed with an out-of-memory error. It was observed that many CacheEntry(VersionedJdbcJarRwader.java) hashmaps were being created to store the details for each hotfix but that were then never cleared. This has been resolved by adding the finally block in CodeImportProcessImpl.java class to call the shutdown method for proper cleanup. In addition, the default command line utility (prpcUtils) has been updated to use JVM settings of Xmx 4GB and capture a heap dump if an out-of-memory error is encountered. The auto-generated prconfig.xml has also been updated to leverage its minimal startup setting which will avoid loading the conclusion cache into memory.

Added support for Helper Text Question Mark with visibility condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
The Helper Text Question Mark was not displaying if the control was configured with "Help icon with overlay on hover" combined with a visibility condition. This was a missed use case, and the expression visibility support for controls.changes have now been added in the pzpega_ui_DLCellTemplate.js file.

Discard changes dialog now showing for local actions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After having modified case data without saving and clicking on a menu entry (left menu, search, ...), the system shows a dialog box to ask the user to confirm it is ok to discard changes. However, this confirmation dialog did not work with local actions, leading users to lose their work without any warning nor any way to step back. This was traced to a difference in the dirty form check, which was not present when launching a local action from a case. An enhancement has now been added to the handleMenuAction js function in pypega_ui_harnessactions.js which will perform a dirty form check with a prompt.

pxGenerateExcelFile updated for handling blank dates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
When using a custom template for exporting to Excel, blank DateTime property column values defaulted to the current date. To resolve this, the pxGenerateExcelFile activity has been updated to ensure that an empty date will be exported as blank and that given dates will appear in the correct datetime format.

Added explicit step page to resolve null-pointer exception with custom error message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
A null pointer exception was generated during case run time harness refresh after a custom error message was inserted. This was traced to a blank step page related to the custom message, and has been resolved by adding a primary step page at step 10 of the New(Work-) activity to prevent the null-pointer exception on harness reload.

oLog.infoForced has been replaced with oLog.debug in GetAssignmentDetailsInternal to reduce excessive logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
The Rest API used by Robotics was generating excessive logging on the application server due toPzGetAssignmentDetailsInternal generating several lines of logs with each REST call. In a high volume system, this can make the logs difficult to utilize. To resolve this, oLog.infoForced has been replaced with oLog.debug.

Force order added to inner join when running a Rules Resolution filter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, D_getResolvedWorkStatuses was not loading properly due to a Report Definition that used a Filter by Rule Resolution option timing out on the SQL Server. When the Filter by Rule Resolution option is selected in RD, it will generate a rule resolution query with an inner join which can cause a time out on the SQL Server while it tries to find out the join order for tables with multiple joins. To resolve this, the SQL server will provide a Force order, merge inner join hint option by way of an added DSS reporting/useForceOrderHint. Additionally, reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery should be set on Pega-Reporting to set things up for using the Merge Inner join hint in the query.
