Segment fails to populate at parent level
Summary
While configuring and testing multi-level segments with a parent segment invoking a child segment, the segment fails to populate at the parent level as it is unable to run the RefreshSegment activity after the child segment runs. This occurs at Step14 of the ExecuteSegmentDependencyTable activity. If user removes JUMP on this step and moves it to a new Java step directly following Step14, the below code can be used to debug the failure of the RefreshSegment:
oLog.infoForced("Testing-pxThread\n"+ tools.findPage("pxThread").getXML());

Steps to Reproduce
- Have a parent segment referencing a child segment
- Have a child segment containing GroupName exceeding 260 characters
Root Cause
A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules. 'Stage Names' are created by concatenating SetName + ", " + GroupName. The error is due to a group without label. The 'Where' clause is used since the group did not have the label.
Resolution
Perform the following local-change:
Use shorter GroupNames.
