Added handling for unknown UpdateDateType property
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
Saving a Flow stream triggers the pzTrackChangesForFlow activity call, which then reads the pxUpdateDateTime property and converts it to Big Decimal for comparison. This conversion requires mode of the property (i.e. DateTime (?M?) in this case) to be known, which is specified in blob as encoded format. When using a PCI framework where the mode of the pxUpdateDateTime property is unknown(???), a NumberFormatException was generated. This has been fixed.

Reworked config file search to prevent WebSphere looping
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
During server startup, the engine tries to populate the environment properties by reading the config files for the application server. A problem was found in some installations with WebSphere where trying to locate the XML file containing the information on the server port created an infinite loop that caused the engine startup to hang. To resolve this, the search function call now has been replaced by another method that tries to obtain the same information from config service without having to locate the XML file.

Removed primary page requirement for link-object activity
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using the link-object activity method with the history checkmark and the specified step page without providing a primary page, the link-object activity method caused a null-pointer-exception when it attempted to fetch data from the pxRequestor page. This was caused by an unnecessary reference to the primary page, and the method to retrieve the value of pyUserIdentifier has been updated.

Exported Excel from Decision Table wraps correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, entries were displayed in a single line on exporting a decision table to Excel despite WrapText cell formatting being set. This was traced to the WrapText cell formatting set under the UpdateGridCells() function being overridden inside an addDataFormat() function callas part of DecisionTableWorkBookConverter.java. This has been resolved by adding the new function "setWorkAreaCellStyles" and calling it after generateWorkbook() function call of super class (AbstractWorkBookConverter.java).

Updated UpdateDateTime handling for branch merge SaveAs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After Pega API's standard branch/merge service was consumed, the service was not returning response as expected due to the system encountering listing conflicts on the branch merge. The error "a rule in lower version has been updated more recently than when the checkout was created" was generated. This has been resolved by updating the Record API (pxUpdateRecord / pxCheckIfStale) to handle setting pxMergedSynchronized property to the pxUpdateDateTime of the base rule instance when doing a Save As into a branch ruleset from a non-branch ruleset / non personal ruleset. Please note - this fix is only applicable to Record API SaveAs, and will not work if customized logic is used to perform the SaveAs.
