BPEL rule types deprecated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
BPEL is a flow format that makes SOAP calls to other systems. Previously, Rule-Connect-BPEL and Rule-Service-BPEL were supported types not as callable rules, but as summaries of the rules involved with interacting with a particular BPEL flow. This usage originated before the advent of landing pages, and summarized the connector or service rules, respectively, that were in the system for a given BPEL-related service package. It has been found that the BPEL-specific standard in version 1.1 and higher does not carry enough information in its schema to do an import and requires limitations and post-import work to make the flows usable. In addition, BPEL import was supported only with Visio. In Pega 7 there is no Visio view for flows, so these flows cannot be viewed or edited. Therefore the following rule types have been deprecated as of this release: -------------------------------------------------- Form Hierarchy Service COM Service BPEL Connect BPEL Parse Transform Parse Transform Collection Parse Infer Attempting to use these rule types will present the following messages: -- Service BPEL: "The rule type Service BPEL is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please use Service SOAP instead." -- Connect BPEL: "The rule type Connect BPEL is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please use Connect SOAP instead."

Added NPE check for empty indexed pyID properties
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Certain searches resulted in a null pointer exception that appeared to be occurring in the FTSContentExecutor class. This issue was caused by a null (empty) pyID property in the indexed instance and has been corrected by inserting handling for any NPE generated in this circumstance.

SQL Merge use clarified for custom Tomcat installations
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Logic was added to ML7 to disable the SQL Merge command in environments that do not support it, but this was failing with an exception trying to parse the Tomcat name/version string if the installation was using a custom version of Tomcat and the string was not in the expected format. To handle this, the logic has been updated to to handle a custom Tomcat Name/Version string that may or may not contain version information. However, please note the following important information: The system will disable Merge if the out-of-the-box Tomcat version is detected where version If the system is using a custom Tomcat instance

Stream XML generation and runtime handling enhanced for optional nodes in schema
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a stream rule was executed using connect-SOAP and blank data was passed from the UI, a tag corresponding to the XML element marked as optional was being generated. This resulted in those optional properties being unexpectedly created in source systems. To change this, the generation of the Stream XML rule has been enhanced such that at runtime it ignores optional nodes/attributes mapped to properties which do not exist or which have an empty value. NOTE: this new behavior in Stream XML rule generation is effective only with the below DSS configuration (to avoid backward compatibility issues ): Owning Ruleset : Pega-IntegrationEngine Purpose : StreamXML/DetectEmptyProperties Value : true

Customer Request Header mapping updated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A Connect SOAP rule using Custom Request Headers to pass the wsse:Security, wsa:From, wsa:MessageID and wsa:Action fields was failing with the error "The server did not recognize the action which it received." Headers were mapped to a XML stream rule where the root node was mapped to a property, but the mapping was failing due to missing support to add the text node in addition to the elements. This has been fixed with code added to use getChildren() instead of getChildElements().

Added dynamic verification for XSD folder path
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
An enhancement has been added to handle different URLs for schema definition XSD path in dev, test and production environments, allowing dynamic configuration of the XSD path in parse XML instead of requiring the absolute path.

Added fallback keyinfo handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a SAML assertion response is received in the authentication activity, an error indicated the KeyInfo was missing in the signature. This was caused by a lack of redundancy in the keyinfo handling that caused an exception when keyinfo was not included in the SAML response. Support has now been added to check the certificate in the truststore where the certificate from IDP metadata would have been imported, and there is an added null check in the debug logs.
