Exception handling added for ClipboardPropertyCollection
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After upgrading from Pega v7.3 to 8.5, validating the existing strategy logic generated the error "ClipboardPropertyCollection is not a supported ILType". This was traced to the special Pega expression type PropertyCollection not being supported by IL, and has been resolved by adding logic that will throw a more appropriate exception (instead of the generic PRRuntimeException) so the event can be caught by the existing fallback logic.

Localization added to DelegateDescription
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Localization was not working correctly for the description of a delegated rule due to pyDelegeteDescription being defined with a non-localized Property value. This has been resolved by localizing the property value for pyDelegeteDescription.

Added handling for MS SQL datestamp format
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When using an Microsoft SQL Server, the browse operation was failing with an SQL error for the pyIHSummary dataset. Investigation showed there were some datasets that generated SQL statements with a date timestamp format that SQL was not able to handle implicitly, affecting browsing but not functionality. This has been resolved.

Multistage Prediction Logic improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When Predictions with Response wait time configured were executed as part of make decision, each decision that came out of the strategy caused a pxDR call to fetch the relevant model execution results and process them to stage the default outcome results for models. This has been improved by modifying the system to process the existing records rather than reading data again from pxDR.

Resolved error during save of a Predictive Model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Attempting to save a predictive model in Prediction Studio resulted in the error ".pyModelProcess.pyShapes(Setmodelcontrolgroup).pyMOName: Cannot generate the component ID from the provided input. Enter at least one alphabetic character." This was traced to previous work done around defining a control group using a property reference, and has been resolved.

Strategy execution queries tuned
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
During NBA strategy execution, interaction history summaries were queried multiple times for a single strategy execution. To improve this function, the isChanged query will now be executed once after system startup if there are no changes instead of being executed every time the Aggregates DataSet BBK is executed. If the same Aggregates query is made multiple times as part of a Strategy in a REST request (i.e. likely multiple ADM models in a MakeDecision call), only one Aggregates BBK call will be made.

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After upgrade to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Improvements for Offer Eligibility rules loading time
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After opening the Proposition filter/Action rule and clicking on Add Criteria, the pxAnyPicker drop down load was taking an excessive amount of time. Performance improvements have been made by adding a precondition at step 2 to avoid data page refresh for specific scenarios when it is not required.

Expanded results for Proposition Filter Relevant Record Properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Previously, a maximum of 500 records were returned from pr_data_tag_relevantrecord when using Edit Parameters for the report definition proposition filter rule. In order to accommodate more complex needs, an update has been made to use the D_pxGetClassDataModel data page to fetch all the records and make them available in the dropdown.
