Derby databases are no longer supported
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.8
Previously, an embedded Derby database could be used as a file system. This setup was configured by setting storage/class/<<filesystem>>/type to "embedded" in the prconfig
file.
After upgrading, storage types that are specified as "embedded" now default to the local file system.
Configuration required for data operations on external schema when using a Postgres database
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.8
When you use the API for data operations on external schema in the Postgres database, you must update the prconfig.xml file. No other platform requires a prconfig.xml update.
To update the prconfig.xml file:
- Stop the server and add the following entry to the prconfig.xml file:
env name="database/databases/postgres_ext/defaultSchema"
value="externalschema"
wherepostgres_ext
is the external database that uses the external schema “externalschema”. - Restart the server.
Discontinued support for list view and summary view rules
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
The list view rule and the summary view rule are deprecated, and support for these rules has been discontinued. Existing list view and summary view reports will continue to work on supported browsers. However, the last version of Internet Explorer that list view and summary view rules support is Internet Explorer 11.
You cannot create new list view or summary view reports. Instead, create list reports and summarized reports by using the report definition rule. To prevent display issues, re-create the custom list view and summary view reports that you need as report definition reports.
Atom Server and SOAP Server rule forms are deprecated
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
The Atom Server and SOAP Server rule forms are deprecated. Use the Connect CMIS rule form instead.
Existing rules that were created with the deprecated forms still work, but you cannot create new ones.
