Handling added for disabling weekends when no weekends are available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
A browser exception was generated while selecting the option “Disable weekends”. This was traced to a malformed array of weekends in a scenario where the Data-Admin-Calendar instance had all business days checked (i.e., no weekends). To resolve this, DatePickerAssembly and pzGenerateDatePicker have been updated to handle the case when there are no weekends available in the Data-Admin-Calendar instance.

DateTime validation works correctly after importing invalid data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After creating DecisionData (Dev studio) and adding a DateTime property to the form, importing records with invalid DateTime values failed with a validation error on the screen and the message "Error while converting format for data type DateTime property name Test_date_format with value scvf" was logged. Attempting to proceed by correcting the DateTime property and uploading worked, but any subsequent imports in the same session silently allowed invalid inputs to be passed without any validation errors and then showed blank date fields. This has been corrected.

Navigation icons added for use in offline mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When using an offline mobile app, clicking on an image / link on the home page for navigation resulted in the error “Resource missing. See client logs.” This was traced to a missed use case that resulted in some icons not being available in the package, and has been corrected by including the following:webwb/py-menu-toggle.png webwb/pzgrid_downarrow.png webwb/pymenuleftarrow.png webwb/pymenurightarrow.png webwb/pymodal_mask_img.png webwb/py-grid-sort-down.svg

DSS added to handle merges with lower versions of Postgres
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, executing the batch campaign with volume constraint resulted in the second data flow DF_Wait failing with error message "ERROR: number of columns (1844) exceeds limit (1664)". This was due to the database set’s change (in 8.5) to use the database layer’s merge statement. Prior to that, the logic used "deletes and inserts". Depending on the version of Postsgres, the generated SQL statement for a merge statement is different. The “INSERT … ON CONFLICT … UPDATE” syntax is generated for Postgres 9.5+ AND when there is a PK constraint defined for the DB table. Otherwise, the complex UPSERT statement (old syntax) is generated, as was the case in this issue. This is a known issue in the Postgres server software where it mis-interprets the number of columns involved. i.e., it mistakenly counts the number of columns twice. As a result, the actual maximum columns allowed is only half of the official limit (1664). The same UPSERT statement does not cause the “exceeds limit” exception if there are 832 or fewer columns in the statement. To resolve this, an option has been provided to select between the “original logic” (deletes and inserts) and the “merge statements” logic by way of the DSS “decision/datasets/db/useMergeStatementForUpdates”. Setting “true” will use the merge statement logic, and setting “false” will use deletes and inserts. When the DSS is not defined, the default is "true" and the system will use merge statements in the form preferred by Postgres 9.5+.

Iteration method updated for SetRequiredSkillsCountColumn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After update, database utilization spiked and did not drop. Investigation traced this to the use of Local.totalCount in pzSetRequiredSkillsCountColumn, which caused the iteration loop to run more times than necessary. This has been resolved by replacing Local.totalCount with Local.iterationsCount in the iteration.

Improved accessibility for Disclosable Documents/attach files/auto selection dropdowns
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using Dragon for accessibility, issues were seen when trying to select different options in the dropdowns related to attaching multiple files. This was caused by the legacy grids being used not supporting this type of accessibility functionality, and has been resolved by updating pzAttachFileDDFileList to use an optimized table instead.
