@HARIL043 If the users system does not have external access, they may want to disable the check to prevent errors from the check for new versions from appearing in the logs. These errors would not impact the application and could be distracting for people and systems processing the logs.
DSS added to control Pega Version Banner does not need to be updated for Pega 8.8
Nuisance errors were being logged related to the application trying to connect to Pega to confirm available versions. This has been resolved by adding the ‘when’ rule pyShowVersionBanner to pzStudioHomeWrapper which allows disabling/enabling the Version Banner based on the setting used in the DSS ShowVersionBanner. pyShowVersionBanner defaults to true when DSS ShowVersionBanner does not exist.
A Dynamic System Setting (DSS) has been added in the latest 8.5, 8.6, and 8.7 patch releases to allow the version banner to be enabled/disabled.
