Large flow handling improved for IE8
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When opening a large flow in IE8 which includes multiple sub flows, a long-running script warning is displayed. This is caused by too many calls being executed at once on IE8, and has been remedied by turning on the asyncProcessing parameter for IE8.

Corrected swim lane routing with shapes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
While using swim lanes, adding shapes into the flow caused unexpected and random behavior of the process modeler including failure to return control to the user after saving. This error was related to routing handling when swim lanes are present, and has been corrected.

Resolved issues with Flow shapes distributed across Swim Lanes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Pool size is maintained as both pixels and inches, but auto conversion was failing if the pool dimension was very large. This created an error where saving a flow rule could cause the pool to drastically shrink (for example, 20 inches becoming 20 pixels). In order to maintain the proper dimensions, a check has been added for pool and swimlane to ensure the proper inch/pixel conversions.

Fixed flow line distortion in Process Modeler
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When clicking through to a subprocess from a parent flow (by clicking the + sign in the blue subprocess shape), flow lines in the subprocess were shown in a distorted fashion. When opening the same flow in a separate tab (by right clicking the blue subprocess shape and selecting Open Flow) the flow lines were correctly painted. This was an issue caused by the different renderings of the flow depending on whether there was a click through to it (with the + on the parent flow?s subprocess shape), or the subflow was opened in a separate tab (with open Flow). After the Process Modeler saved and checked-in the flow, the connector lines were re-drawn in ways that were non-intuitive and hard to interpret due to the edge routing in PM being calculated off incorrect input data that was taking into account shapes that were not represented on the screen. To fix this, the system now ensures the edges are routed without taking into account any shapes not represented on the canvas.

Fixed scrumboard intermittent failure
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
After upgrading, it was seen that the scrumboard would intermittently fail to load, partially displaying and then hanging if the columns did not fit within the window boundaries due to the number of elements. This was traced to an error in the functionality that resizes parts of the scrumboard, and has been fixed.

VBD cache handling changed to preserve data integrity
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
When VBD was configured to use on-heap memory, no data was displayed in VBD planner and logs showed queries failing with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException. The cause of the error was a corruption of VBD cache data in a partition: VBD compresses its partitions after getting no inserts for 15 minutes. When an insert is received by a compressed partition, the partition is first decompressed before writing. During decompression, the buffer position is set to the end of the uncompressed buffer. However, the buffer may include padded nulls added during buffer expansion. The system writes the new VBD records after the padded nulls, but the nulls would then throw off the read logic during query execution. To fix this, during decompression the buffer position will now be set to the end of the data, not the end of the buffer.

Enhancement added to validate mandatory fields in custom proposition definition forms
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
Enhancements have been added in order to support extended customization of a proposition definition form. Previously, the custom form containing the custom fields was rendered in the context of a requestor-level, editable data page for creating a new proposition. The custom form section itself did not belong to the same class as the data page but was only rendered in the context of the data page at run-time. Therefore, validations defined on the custom form were not triggered due to the mismatch in the context of execution. The system has now been updated with an extension activity which will have the required-field validation pre-loaded. The same activity can then be extended to include additional validations whenever needed. The approach has some limitations as below. Process: On the custom form for the proposition group, the appropriate fields will need to be marked as required-always from the 'Required' dropdown field configuration form. After this, with the local fix branch included, new propositions should be validated for missing required fields. Limitations: The validation will work only on the manual creation of a new proposition. Conversely, the validation will NOT work if the propositions were uploaded using the Import/Export feature on the Decision Data form. The validation error messages for the custom fields will appear on the top of the page unlike that for the proposition name property. However, the message will list all properties that are marked as required but haven't been filled-in on the form.
