Unable to use keyword 'Primary' in Pega 7.1.6 report definition
SA-1789
Summary
User has migrated their custom application to Pega 7.1.6. They have been using the keyword 'Primary' to refer to pyWorkPage in their Report Definitions. After the migration, Primary is no longer taken in as a keyword. PRPC now assumes that Primary is a physical page name that it should look for. User needs confirmation whether he should use a physical page name, e.g. pyWorkPage instead of Primary for Report Definitions.
Error Messages
N/A
Steps to Reproduce
In a Report Definition, in the Classes & Pages tab set Primary to point to a class e.g. ClassX
Refer a property by using Primary.Property1 in parts of the report definition, for example for the report definition's filter.
Observe PRPC assumes that Primary is a physical page name that it should look for in Pega 7.1.16. While in previous versions this was refering to pyWorkPage.
Root Cause
Primary keyword has not been supported even in PRPC prior to Pega 7.1.6.
Resolution
The behavior is expected. PRPC help does not list Primary as a supported keyword. This has been confirmed in 6.3 SP1 and 7.1.6 help document.
