Added Finish Assignment check for old harnesses
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After upgrade, a failing post flow action validation created the inability to correct the errors and resubmit using a pxButton which performed an out of the box "Finish Assignment." When trying to do so, a busy indicator was displayed and the application froze. This was caused by an incorrect legacy harness pointer for the Action section. A check for old harnesses has been added, and the submit API now sets the target of form submit for finish assignment to the parent window.

Added ownership check for DeleteModalHeader process
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When closing a modal dialog, the dropdown in the parent window became disabled and did not allow further selection. This was caused by the modal js throwing an error while attempting to remove an element that was not its child. To avoid this, the deleteModalHeader js API has bene modified to check the parent/child relationship before proceeding with the delete.

Documentation updated regarding Update Wizard avoiding deadlocks
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Following migration, running the Update Wizard tool (Designer Studio -> System -> Upgrade -> Update Existing Applications) caused deadlock errors. This was actually an error/omission in product documentation: the connection property 'webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel' must be set in the datasource prior to running the wizard, and this has been noted.

Flow name labels draw from proper cache
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A flow name label was taking the short description of the starting flow in the class group and appending the class names to it after the parenthesis. This has been corrected by ensuring the code is fetching from the correct cache to populate the label.

Timezone handling corrected for Locale Settings tool
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When the Locale Settings tool was opened, the time zone was always shown as Etc/GMT+12 and did not reflect the current operator time zone. The time zone used is correctly amended based on the option chosen, but the 'selected' option in the select HTML code was not set to correctly reference the actual option selected. This has been fixed by adding a check to set the time zone from the step page if it does not exist in the recurrencedetailspage.

Email functions enhanced for customized authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After upgrade, the system was not sending email from an account that did not specify a UserID or password. This was caused by PRPC requiring authentication. To allow for custom installations, the SendEmailMessage and EmailListener functions will check for the password; if it is null or empty, then it will set the authentication to false and will not try to authenticate.

Error handling improved for importing data instances
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When importing data instances from a file, messaging showed success even when importing failed due to a database error (e.g.. column length not sufficient). In addition, the error in the log file was not detailed and no error appeared on screen. This problem was specific to Oracle DB and only with Unicode characters with a column size exceeding maximum length of 256. The error handling in this case has been improved: if there is a data base error, a message will appear on the modal dialog and all the changes in the transaction will be rolled back.

Handling added for undesignated authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If service package was unchecked, it was not possible to call authenticated activities from the service activity and errors were generated stating "You lack access required to execute RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS". To resolve this, changes have been made in the service layer to bypass authentication for all services that do not have authentication enabled on their service packages.

Property Optimization Wizard working for Page level properties
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The Property Optimization Wizard was not working on Page level properties in a PageList due to due to the 'PropertyPath' Param in the displayResults activity having "()" characters that did not exist in previous versions. To resolve this, the "()" are stripped off in the Rule-Declare-Index name.
