Summary



A new environment is built with Pega 7.1.7 based on media 114716_Pega717, on WebSphere 8.0 and Oracle 11.2.

During the Rulebase import, there were several errors related to java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "31-December-9999" even though the Rulebase import showed success.

However, Pega is up and running.
