Parameterized Data Pages in 8.6 need to be modified to work offline.
In Pega 8.6, Parameterized Data Pages were added as a supported feature for offline enabled applications, as a result, applications using parameterized data pages in previous versions need to revisit their parameterized data page configurations.
In previous versions for Pega, offline applications did not support parameterized data pages out of the box, and Pega applications that implemented them with custom JavaScript may need to revisit their data page configurations.

Currently in Pega 8.6, it is possible to configure parametrised datapages in an offline application in two ways: 1. the old way by defining a custom populator function. 2. by defining a data transformation when the datapage is sourced from Report Definition.
Currently, the second way is the safest way because the populator code is automatically generated by the platform and avoids many of the errors that can occur when creating populator code.

Additionally, as of version 8.5, parameterised datapages are auto refreshed by default when a request is made to ClientCache to return a datapage. This behaviour can be disabled by setting the AutorefreshParametrizedDatapages flag on ClientCache by calling setAutorefreshParametrizedDatapages(false) at application startup. The user must then take care of cleaning datapages after synchronizations themselves.
