Enabled turning off general metrics when queue processing metrics are disabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
A memory leak related to QPGeneralMetrics was consuming heap and causing performance issues. Investigation showed queue processor metrics were gathered even when disabled. To resolve this, turning off "General Metrics Handler" while turning off the QPGeneralMetrics has been enabled. Queue processors should now skip the process of collecting general metrics while running activities. This will prevent storing unused (and uncleared) metrics in memory and prevent heap exhaustion.

Improved handling for thread resolution issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Queue Processor/Dataflow was moving to STOPPED state due to failed records in its execution. Investigation showed there was a minor logic issue in the queue processor activity which allowed the Page-Remove step to be called even before the pages were actually created, and this has been resolved by improving the recovery from a cleared ThreadContainer which might cause thread resolution issues.

Resolved validation check freeze for Dynamic Layout Group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
After creating a multi-step form where step 1 had a Dynamic Layout Group(tabbed) that used form fields configured with validations, clicking next with empty/invalid values in the form intermittently caused the screen to freeze and a javascript exception was logged. This was traced to a missed use case related to templates in the childNode, and has been resolved by adding the necessary safe checks in lgtemplate and lgcelltemplate.

DSS added to control section collapse on refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
After update from 8.5, using dynamic layouts that included certain controls (autocomplete/text/dropdown) configured with Refresh-Other Section -> Parent / Top Level Section such as a pyCaseActionArea with Event 'On Change' showed a different behavior: entering a value in the configured text/auto-complete field that leads to the refresh of the top level section will collapse all expanded sections if there is a refresh trigger within the embedded section or dynamic layout of the collapsible layouts. In order to control this behavior, a new DSS has been introduced. By default HonourExpandWhenOnRefresh (owning ruleset Pega-UIEngine) will be set to false to maintain the current behavior of collapse on refresh, while setting it to true will use the older behavior of maintaining expanded sections.

Corrected apiContext when using bulkActions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Row selections in the multi-selection table were intermittently not working after opening a table with bulk actions enabled. Investigation showed that opening a table with bulkActions enabled and then navigating to a table where bulk actions are not available but multi-select is enabled led to functions like setSelectedRows and getSelectedRows still being available in apiContext. This has been resolved by correcting apiContext when bulkActions is enabled.

Corrected LiveDesignViewDisplay error handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
When all rulesets were locked and a section was opened from Live UI in a portal, a "rule deleted" message appeared and it was confirmed the rule was deleted even though the rule was in locked ruleset. Investigation traced this to a pzLiveDesignViewDisplay call to pxChooseBestRuleSet which jumped to failure logic when "allow check out" was disabled, and this has been resolved by correcting the error handling in pzLiveDesignViewDisplay.

Added check for naming conflicts when upgrading Oracle
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
When attempting to upgrade a single schema on Oracle database, running the generateddl script failed with a NullPointerException. This was caused by database tables which had a column name called 'SYS_ID' as part of the primary key. Since Oracle uses system-generated names beginning with "SYS_" for implicitly generated schema objects and subobjects, Oracle discourages the use of this prefix in the names explicitly provided to the schema objects and subobjects in order to avoid possible conflicts in name resolution. To resolve this, a tester has been added to the system to check for this naming use and issue a warning.

Documentation added on adding Tomcat-on-Oracle Rules resource
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
The Tomcat-on-Oracle installation guides for Pega ML7 and ML8 did not contain instructions for adding a for jdbc/AdminPegaRULES. As such if the installer prepared a two-user (Base + Admin) setup in the database and allocated the Base user to jdbc/PegaRULES, the Pega platform was unable to run DDL to create new tables for new work types and new data types, as the installer has not configured the additional datasource to use the Admin user. The documentation has been updated to add the necessary step between Steps 1 and 2 of the "Create a JDBC Datasource" chapter (page 41 from the ML7 installation guide).

Added keyword support for <current>
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
Variations between system versions were causing a decision table containing some regexp functions to pass or fail validation depending on the version. To remedy this, support has been added for using the regular expression function as a keyword to ensure valid tables are properly handled.

Added missing filename encoding for drag and drop
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
An error was being generated when opening an attached file with "$" in the filename. This was due to missing encoding for cases attached with drag and drop, and has been corrected.
