Improvements

New Feature Description

ID

New Feature Description

ID

InternalDataCopy Data Load now supports the Incremental option and the Source Filter option for PA Rollups. This allows to create historical Data Sources based on PA Rollups. So far Data Sources based on rollups behaved like a materialized view (cloning the exact data of the rollup).

PFCD-6782

It is possible now to define custom aliases for DMSqlQuery entries.

PFCD-6807

Support for addFolder(String label) has been added for Contract Header logics.

PFCD-7004

There is a new Advanced Configuration option allowAutoDeletionOfSubmittedPGI which allows you to have PGIs in Submitted status auto deleted when the corresponding product is no longer eligible for the LPG (as per the dynamic item filter criteria).

PFCD-7018

It is possible now to use "today" as the target date of a Data Load if you leave the target date field empty.

PFCD-7032

PriceAnalyzer lookups (e.g. in a filter when opening a dropdown with values from Datamart) have been made faster.

PFCD-7106

To access a dashboard with a configurator, you must have the 'View Products' role but it also provides access to the master data which is not desirable. To resolve this issue, the 'Manage Contracts' role was granted the permission to run configurators.

PFCD-7144

api.global and table context can now be shared by all line items in Claims. 

PFCD-7175

To improve system performance in specific cases, there is a new Advanced Configuration option doNotStoreGlobalsForDirtyPass which disables passing global variables from one calculation pass to another.

PFCD-7200

Fixed Issues

Bug Description

ID

Bug Description

ID

When querying a Data Source, logging of dates from the UI gives the wrong month.

PFCD-4721

When an LPG with the 'Change Triggers Approval' option configured is in a Submitted status, another workflow is created when the prices are recalculated even though the initial workflow is still pending approval. As a result, there are two active workflows which causes confusion.

PFCD-6539

Matrix2D.addColumn() call breaks Matrix2D.setValue() expected behavior.

PFCD-6743

Excel formatting impacts upload/download of data to/from a Data Source.

PFCD-6801

In some cases, an LPG item is not updated correctly after submitting a workflow.

PFCD-6878

When updating a Price Parameters table value in Excel Client, the lastUpdateByName attribute is not updated (but lastUpdateBy is updated - with a user ID).

PFCD-6995

The CreatedByName attribute can be changed via the API request "dataload".

PFCD-7010

In Excel Client, when creating values in a Price Parameters table, the read-only attribute createdByName is not properly filled in by the backend.

PFCD-7014

In LPG in 'Dynamic item mode', ampersand is not displayed correctly in the dropdown value. Also, any value can be entered even though only values from the dropdown are allowed.

PFCD-7044

Importing CSV Data Feed data does not work - the window is closed without any result, no data is imported.

PFCD-7050

When a user updates a quote, the 'Created By' field incorrectly reflects the username of the user who just did the update.

PFCD-7053

In a quote, there is an HTML code showing in a field instead of a calculated price.

PFCD-7057

For the error "WorkflowExecutionEngineException: null" there is no user friendly message defined.

PFCD-7060

Dates with a partition time zone are computed incorrectly.

PFCD-7063

When you have a PP table with attribute with restricted values by a Data Source from an attribute in a PX table, you get an error when loading this PP table in Excel Client.

PFCD-7065

The OR filter does not work with property (column) names, only with attributeX. 

PFCD-7068

InputMatrix HTML encodes special characters like & and returns &.

PFCD-7071

Excel Client updates only the first 100 rows even if there are more records to be updated.

PFCD-7089

When deleting and uploading new data using Excel Client, you get an invalid value error.

PFCD-7097

When trying to reset a column in an LPG (using the column option Reset Column Name and Type), you get an error "Not authorized for command PRICEGRIDATTRIBUTEMETA_REMOVE". 

PFCD-7130

Apostrophe is not accepted in a workflow email address.

PFCD-7139
