Fail-over updated to cover server crash scenarios
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
In a testing event, the user session did not properly fail over to another server if the original server was shut down; an error was thrown instead. This was found to be an authentication issue where on node crash, a new requestor was created on the second node and then immediately authenticated as it is SSO. As part of authentication, the mRequiresSpecialProcessingForNodeCrash flag was cleared, meaning the node crash activity was not executed and entire portal was not refreshed. This has been corrected by updating the system to execute crash node activity for SSO cases.

SMA Instance MRU report updated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
The SMA Advanced / Rule Cache Summary report showed "NA" for pruning, even when the system had been impaired by extensive pruning. The correct data was available under Advanced / Reports / Most Recently Used Caches Report, but the NA results were purposeful: this particular report branch had been incompletely refactored while implementing multitenancy, and the decision had been made to have this report show NA rather than zero because zero was misleading and inaccurate. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused, and the report should now accurately report the expected results.

Next run in agent schedule updates after DB access issue
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
It was discovered that if access to the database was interrupted, the Next run in agent schedule was not updating and not being run. This has been fixed by updating AgentQueue.handleProblem() to handle unexpected errors and ensure delayDueToProblem() is invoked always.

System updated to better handle multi-node rule resolution
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
In an upgraded multi-node environment, the error 'com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.MultipleRuleVersionException: Rule resolution identified 2 versions of the rule' was sporadically appearing. Once the issue occurred, it would persist and the only way to resolve it was to bounce the server. This was an issue with an instance of one rule being found in one node and not found in other node, and was related to the trigger logic. This should not occur with the current Pega7 version, as trigger logic has been moved into the engine and there is no longer a database trigger to fix. In order to ensure continued smooth trigger resolution, tests have been added that will check for this condition in the updates cache table to ensure that this scenario does not occur again

Garbage Collector tool removed from SMA
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
Issues were found when attempting to view Garbage Collector statistics in SMA, and the "Collect" button which should point to the GC log instead gave an error. After investigation, it has been determined that the SMA Garbage Collector Tool no longer meets customer needs: it failed to parse JDK 1.7 GC logs and did not give useful failure information when parsing a JDK 1.6 log. Therefore, the Garbage Collector function has been removed from the system. Instead, third-party analysis tools such as HP Jmeter and IBM Support Assistant are recommended for this purpose.

Debugging enhancement added for role of BATCH requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
An enhancement has been added to the system to give more detailed debugging information in the PegaRULES logs if the startup-process detects the following roles : ?PegaRULES:SysAdm4, COB:User1, COB:LEGUser1, COB:CreditUser1, PegaRULES:AutoTest, MS:Restricted, COB:Administrators?. This DEBUG log message has been added to provide information on the role assigned to the requestor type BATCH.

prvisiointerface.cab unblocked
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
Effective with earlier ML versions of Pega7, several OCX functions were intentionally deprecated and replaced with Silverlight functions: Prbatchscanning prDeveloper prpackagecominterface prvisiointerface. However, it was found that there are two Word features around the embed merge function requiring prvisiointerface.cab that will produce some visual problems on the screen referring to the missing cab break if the files are ported from an earlier version of PRPC and prvisiointerface.cab is unavailable. Therefore, prvisiointerface.cab has been unblocked and restored for use.

Reworked decision table conflict check logic for combined rows
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
In a decision table, using expressions like property-property caused the decision table to report a non-existent logic conflict because there was another column with different data present. This has been fixed by adding a new property pyColumnDataType for Decision tables which will hold the data type of the expression/function/property mentioned in the column during FUAssembly, and then using it in the testConsistency code instead of the existing design.

Resolved sporadic NPE on TransferAssignment
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
A null pointer exception was sporadically being being generated by the pxTransferAssignment activity. This was found to be an issue where a previous step to open the work object failed and the TransferWorkPage was therefore not created, followed by the absence of that page leading to the failure of the WHEN condition that was using the Rule-Utility-Function hasMessages. The handling has been updated to avoid this issue.

Resolved AddWorkHistory length error
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
The "AddWorkHistory? activity was generating an error when the property pyInstructions contained more than 64 characters and was copied into pyLabel without taking care of the length restrictions imposed on these properties. This has been resolved by implementing the required length restrictions before copying.
