GetLinkedSpecsForRule will preserve existing framework rule spec links

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

When a framework layer rule was opened Specs were not listed, and checking out and checking in the rule caused the link to spec which was associated in the framework layer to also be deleted. This appeared as specifications created for the FW layer not being visible from the Rule form when the current access group pointed into the Implementation layer. It should be noted that the Framework layer specs cannot be linked with framework layer rules when doing development in the implementation layer - that is an expected behavior. Therefore the fix for this issue will just retain the existing rule specification links even for framework rules: On Report definition pzGetLinkedSpecsForRule context mode was changed to All Rules in Application and Frameworks except PegaRULES. PostCheckOut activity in following classes were updated to call PostCheckOut from Rule- Rule-HTML-Section Rule-HTML-Harness Rule-File-Stencil Rule-File-

TransformerFactory security functions reverted

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

Export to Excel was broken in the IBM environment. This was related to compatibility with security updates which were not consistently implemented by TransformerFactory installations. To resolve this condition, those security changes have been removed from the following functions: DCOdocumentToBytes DCOnodeToString DCOgetStringFromDocument

Null check added to pxSystemFlow to handle post-upgrade assignment display

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

After upgrade, assignments were not being displayed. This was due to pxSystemFlow being blank in earlier versions of Pega. In the Flows section the assignments are filtered based on false check, hence assignments were not seen. To prevent this issue, a null check has been added.

pyCaseBreadCrumb control localized

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

When viewing a case, the pyCaseBreadCrumb control was not localizing the value, instead always displaying the value of pyLabel. This has been corrected.

PDN help properly reflects FlowAnalysis implementation in the Diagram tab

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

The documentation has been updated in the PDN to reflect that the ruleform "Flow Analysis" option is no longer available. The references to this were mistakenly left visible due to a build issue and the help files have now been republished so they match the current implementation of the Flow Analysis option, which is available on the Diagram tab.

Auto-process assignments cleanup improved

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

After configuring auto process with an assignment at the flow end, the perform harness was being presented at the end of the assignment during runtime. This was the result of the newAssign page not being removed as part of the cleanup after auto-processing was done, causing the performB2BAssignmentCheck activity to believe the next assignment existed. This has been resolved by ensuring that auto-process assignments have the newAssignPage removed after the assignment is deleted.

Child case locking error message has correct parameter

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

A locking error message was appearing without the case parameter, showing "Error Message : Could not lock the cover ; has it. Please wait and try again later." This was traced to the cover already being present, causing the step to open the Cover Object to fail. To resolve this, and update has been added to pass the Cover case ID to the field value.

Parent flow next step will take precedence over sub-process

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

ABreadcrumb configured in the screen flow was not displaying at the last assignment when there were multiple embedded sub processes and the last assignment was called in a sub process. This was traced to the parent flow next step information not being passed due to the next step in the sub process being marked as an end shape. To resolve this, the pzFlowSteps7 html control has been updated to pass the parent flow's next step information in this situation.

Null check added for embedded section pyInclude tag

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

When attempting to implement a call to the Pega API casetypes endpoint, the end point /casetypes/{id} returned data for only some of the casetype IDs. For others there was no content in the response and in the logs the error "null at com.pegarules.generated.pzAPICreateJsonForGroup" was seen. This was traced to the use of an old section which did not generate the embedded section pyInclude tag. When the API was called on the same section, it tried to perform an equality check on the variable which gets the pyInclude value, and the null value caused the null pointer exception. This has been resolved by adding a null check to cover pyInclude in an embedded section.

Case history filter added for manual instantiation of Child Case

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

After upgrade from v7.4 to v8.3, creating any child case from a parent case unexpectedly added the audit history "Child case xxxxx has been manually instantiated" to the parent case. In order to make this customizable, an "isHistoryAvailable" function has been added in the 'when' condition of "AddCoveredWork" Activity's "History-Add" Step. This will use the FilterHistory decision tree, which now has a setting for "ChildCaseInsAudit" to control whether or not the manual Instantiation of a Child Case will appear in the case history. The default is "true"; setting it to "false" will suppress the message.
