Published Release Notes

Decision Data Store data sets can be used only on DNodes

Data flows that contain Decision Data Store data sets as the primary or secondary source must be created and executed only on DNodes.

Data flows are not restarted automatically after application server restart

When you restart the application server or the Pega 7 server, you stop the execution of your data flows. The interrupted batch and real-time runs are marked as Failed. 

Recommendation:

• Go to the Designer Studio > Decisioning > Decisions > Data Flows > Batch processing tab and start the failed batch runs.

• Go to the Designer Studio > Decisioning > Decisions > Data Flows > Real-time processing tab and activate the failed real-time runs.

Value list and value group properties are not supported inside data flows

Value list and value group properties are not supported inside data flows, and you need to instead use other property types.

See the Pega 7 developer help to check all available property types.

Data flow preview size is fixed to 10

The Preview option for each shape in data flows returns the first 10 records. This value is fixed and currently cannot be changed.

Data Flow transformation shapes cannot be used in combination with the Compose or Merge shapes

When you reference another data flow from a data flow that contains the Compose or Merge shape, the referenced data flow cannot contain transformation shapes (EventStrategy, Decision strategy, Convert).

Data flow validation does not currently prevent you from designing a data flow that goes against this design pattern. Make sure that your data flows follow this design pattern by checking the referenced and referencing data flows.

Data flow destination is resolved at assembly time

Data flow execution always uses the design-time destination data sets or destination data flows, regardless of the input records at run time.

Example:

You create a data flow and set the destination to a specific data set. In the data flow, you use a strategy that produces some results. Regardless of these results, the execution of your data flow always uses the destination data set that you specified when you designed the data flow.    

The same applies when you set the destination to a data flow.

Email approval and instantiation not supported on multitenant systems

The Enable email approval check box appears on the General tab of an approval step in Case Designer in multitenant systems. It also appears on the Approval shape in Designer Studio. In addition, in Designer Studio, the Settings tab in Case Designer displays the option to configure email instantiation. However, because configuring email listeners is not supported on multitenant systems, you cannot enable email approval or email instantiation.

Pega Survey documentation refers to deprecated field

The documentation for Pega^® Survey refers to the Answer Layout field on the Complex Question form, but this field is no longer supported. For more information about the question layout formats that Pega Survey supports, see Pega Survey.
