Corrected HTML error generated on export to PDF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After exporting a report to PDF, the PDF could be viewed but repeated instances of the error "<th> missing ‘>’ for end of tag" were logged. This was traced to missing the closing '>' for th in the pzRRDataListHeaderRow HTML rule when "Enable column command menu" is unchecked in ReportViewer options, and has been corrected.

Report Definition filter editing shows all values correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After launching a report, certain values were not populated on the pop-up when editing the filters or the commas separating the values did not appear. This was traced to the activity pzGetSelectedValues containing an older implementation of column type checking, causing it to report some embedded property references as being of type "Included Page" instead of the type of the ultimate property. This has been resolved by updating step 1 to only use this logic if pyDataType is not set, which should already be set for all filters and columns, and the formatting has been corrected.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from RD
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using Export to Excel directly from a report definition, a date column specified using pxDatetime was shown as applied date format in the resulting Excel file. The column was formatted as expected if the export was called from an activity. This was traced to the recent refactoring of Export to Excel: it was not expected that it would be called directly, but rather that it would be invoked from a report viewer ruleform. In order to support this direct use, step calls have been added to the pzRDExportWrapper activity to call pzMergeAutoGen before the engine call. This step will merge the pyModes pages from pxDateTime control.

Handling added for comma value in FusionCharts XML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
After creating a Summary Report through the report browser and adding that report to the Dashboard, clicking on the report to drill down generated the error "Can't open the rule with the specified keys". Investigation showed that if a category or series in a Report Definition chart contained a comma, the drilldown would not work because of an incorrect pyclassname being passed. This was traced to the use of XML to configure the chart: the FusionCharts third-party library parses the link XML incorrectly and splits JS arguments at any comma. This was a missed use case for having a comma in the name, and has been resolved by adding encoding for the comma value in pzMultiSeriesData FusionCharts XML rule. Then this will be decoded in the drilldown JS APIs pzPega_chart_legacydrilldown and pega_report_summary.

Summary Report collapsible sections made accessible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
In order to improve accessibility, the rules 'RRDataSummaryGeneration' and 'pzDisplayGroupNodeVertical' have been updated so the clickable expand icons in summary reports will append the value of the current group when setting the text "Click to expand or collapse". This will allow JAWS to uniquely identify exactly what will be expanded or collapsed.

BLOB decryption API updated for greater flexibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
A BIX extraction issue occurred after the class had enabled BLOB Encryption. The errors indicated the BLOB had been persisted in an incorrect stage, causing the extraction of the single item to never complete even though some CSV file was created. This was traced to the API used to read the encrypted BLOB, DatabaseUtilsCommonImpl.getStreamBytes, which had the limitation of decrypting only when a Site-specific cipher existed. To resolve this, the system has been modified to use a different API which works for all encryption modes, PageDatabaseMapperImpl.getStreamBytes().

DSS added for handling missing attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
When an S3 repository was configured as storage, some cases were not coming up in search and exception errors were seen in logs for a deleted attachment after every system restart/re-indexing of the search. Investigation showed these case objects were in the broken queue for pyFTSIncrementalIndexer due to a null pointer error encountered when indexing the attachment, and that the attachments were available in the repository but could not be read from the attachment repository during indexing. To resolve this, a new DSS setting has been added which allows selecting one of two behaviors:- Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = true : broken item is generated, but with a meaningful error message. This is the default behavior - Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = false: case is indexed, but without the problematic attachment. Error message is printed out to the logs.

Extra text seen in edit removed from Report Browser
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Extra Text reading 'BBBBBC' was appearing when editing Reports within Report Browser. This was due to extraneous test text input present within 'RRDataListHeader' HTML Rule, and this has now been removed.
