Multiple-nodes rebuild LibraryMetadata to ensure all RUFs are present on change
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When performing a complete Application import into a clean installation, references to certain Rule-Utility-Functions went unresolved during the initial assembly. Investigation showed that after introducing a new Rule-Utility-Library or Rule-Utility-Function on one node in a cluster and then generating that, the other nodes in the cluster did not have the correct LibraryMetaDataCache for that RUL. Therefore, assemblies on those other nodes could throw a runtime UnresolvedAssemblyError. This has been resolved by modifying the way the Library subsystem processes the node changes events for Library Generation, to ensure that each node completely rebuilds the LibraryMetadata for that RUL so it contains all the RUFs.

Updated report widget drilldown logic for better non-ASCII character support
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When a report in the report widget had a drilldown chart with a parameter containing certain non-ASCII characters, no entries for the drilldown filter were shown even when there was data that matched that filter. This was traced to the drilldown JavaScript for dashboard report widgets encoding the drilldown parameter twice, causing characters that were Unicode but not ASCII to be corrupted. This has been resolved by updating the logic for pzpega_chart_legacydrilldown.js and pzpega_control_actions_reportdefinition.js to ensure the parameter is not encoded twice.

Handling added for runtime exception on upgrade due to inaccessible external schema mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
If a system used external schema mapping, attempts to upgrade were failing with the error "Caused by: com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.ConfigurationException: Unable to obtain data source "java:comp/env/jdbc/PegaRULES", as it is undefined". This was traced to configuring external DADNs which were not accessible from the server where the upgrade was being run: an upgrade will fail if it cannot connect to an external datasource even if no changes need to be made to that datasource. However, because a PRRuntimeException was unexpectedly being thrown instead of a Database Exception, the exception was not properly caught and handled. This has been corrected.

Support added for custom JVC arguments for Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
An enhancement has been added to support specifying custom JVM arguments for Cassandra. This allows uses such as enabling GC logging for cloud deployments, or to increase the native transport queue size for read-heavy deployments.

Updates made for usage validation utility Run report checkbox and buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
The 'Review mode only' checkbox wasn't working for any browser, and the 'Run Report' button wasn't working in IE. This has been resolved by updating the javascript used to invoke the Run Report button to be better integrated with IE, and by adding additional handling to set the ID for the checkbox.

ADM pulse timing changed to inprove performance on very large clusters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
ADM uses a pulse that checks if any models need to be updated. This uses a Cassandra query which has no "where" clause, causing poor performance for very large clusters. For immediate relief of this issue, the pulse configuration has been updated to increase the timing from 30 to 300 seconds so it fires less often. Model updates typically happen every x hours and often the pulse will not detect any models that would need to be updated. Further improvements in this process will be available in a future release.

Resolved case lock release improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
Cases created through the create work object were unnecessarily holding onto locks for up to two hours. This was traced to a defer-write scenario for mobile devices which did not return the correct status needed for "no further assignments". In order to resolve this issue, a new parameter "returnNextActionInfo" of type boolean has been added to svcPerformFlowAction. This parameter will be always set as false when calling this activity from sync up so all locks will be closed and released.

GenerateContainer updated to prefer icon given in skin over hardcoded icons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
When trying to change the Expand/Collapse icon for dynamic layout by defining a custom format in the app skin, changes made in the Expand icon image and Collapse icon image were not reflected. This was due to the CSS selector being overriden with a hardcoded arrow icon instead of automatically taking the icon from the skin rule. To resolve this, the selector and conditions used in GenerateContainer.java have been modified such that the icon added in the skin should be picked automatically instead of any hardcoded icon available.

Accessibility enabled Layout group tabs browsing corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
When using Layout group (Tab) or a Tabbed Layout for viewing client information in Tabs with Accessibility enabled, the system was reading each tab and its content but then focus was returning to the browser and tracing through all elements before moving on to the next tab. This was traced to an incorrect tabindex setting in the pzpega_ui_template_layout_header file, and has been fixed.

Logic fixed for displaying Multi-Select control values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.5
The Multi-Select control loadResults method has been updated to resolve an issue where If two results started with the same phrase, on selecting one of the results the other one was not displayed in the dropdown. In addition, cache handling has been updated to resolve an issue where a Multi-Select control loading on cascading drop-down was loading the previous values.
