SAML login rule form documentation updated to reflect usage with IDP
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
SAML authentication was not working properly during login. This was traced to the assertion not being signed when SAML responses received from IDP require this, and was due to the check box under SP settings not being applied for POST binding. As a result, a local IDP configuration sent a signed response but not a signed assertion. To clarify this, the label message in the SAML rule form has been modified to read "Reject unsigned response and assertion" and the help documentation has been updated to reflect this usage.

Fixed pyMemo overwriting set values with null
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The titles for correspondence and URL attachments were empty due to pyDefault setting pyMemo to "", overwriting the value that was previously set. This was caused by the Link-Object java generation code first setting the properties and later applying the DT. To fix this, the pyDefault DT will be applied for the Link-Attachment instance in activities Work-.AttachURL amd Work-.CorrAttach.

Fixed column search function for Report Browser Data Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
Searching/filtering for columns in the Data Explorer in the Report Browser was not filtering the tabs by the search string. This was an error caused by the unique ID changes for controls, and has been fixed by updating the getSearchTextElement() function in pega_report_events.js to use the name attribute rather than the ID attribute to identify the search bar. The tabClickCallback() has also been updated to not rely on window.event as it was causing discrepancies in Safari.

restored to correct "pg empty after db.open" errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When opening the data page D_RepositorySettings, the error "pg empty after db.open" appeared in the logs. This was due to the data page referring to the files webwb/zchecked.gif and webwb/zchecked.gif in many sections of the data page rule form despite these files having been removed as part of a recent cleanup meant to reduce storage requirements. In order to resolve this error, the zunchecked.gif and zchecked.gif images have been added back and the error message generated in the RUF pzGetbase64encodedImagehas been improved to add the target filename: "error occurred while opening the image:webwb/zunchecked.gif"

Added handling for custom skin using the $ symbol for value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After upgrade, using a custom style sheet to display the $ symbol prior to values being shown or entered caused the application skin to not log and throw an error. This was caused by a missed use case for adding $ in css :before or :after content due to a dependency on this "$" notation for fetching right mixin color from skin color. The array index out of bounds exception was generated by the statemachine parser while handling special characters because it considered the quotes of csscontent to be corrupted. To resolve this, an extra check has been added for handling """ and "'" cases in cssCustomParser.java and junits have been updated.

Data flow region switching method added to prevent truncating event strategy data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
An enhancement has been added to allow customers to switch data flow execution from one region to another without clearing event strategy data. This process looks like (1) Dataflow is started on one region. (2) Dataflow is paused in same region. (3) Dataflow is started in second region. Previously, step 3 would delete the existing event strategy data. To prevent that, a new run option has been added named 'pyDataFlowStorageTruncateOnStart'. By default, this is set to true and truncation will occur. If set to false, the event strategy data will not be deleted.

Modified pzPopulateTrainingandTestDetails to resolve input error in test model
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After creating a text model, trying to update it resulted in errors. This was caused by the input bean for pzPopulateTrainingandTestDetails getting reset and causing a nullpointerexception while trying to load the spell checker because the taxonomy data was empty. This has been fixed by ensuring the input param object is created after setting the taxonomy data. A null check has also been added in the creation process of the input param object in pzPopulateTrainingandTestDetails.

Open API passes 'true' for aUnlockOnCommit parameter to minimize pr_sys_locks table filesize
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The Archive/Purge Wizard was not removing the locks acquired during the execution from the pr_sys_locks table, resulting in locks remaining in the table for up to three days. This could potentially cause an enormous filesize and lead to other processes failing to acquire locks due to contention on the table. To resolve this, the system will pass 'true' for aUnlockOnCommit parameter on the open API so that the lock is released on commit of the deferredDelete on purged instances.
