Support for data rollback and commit in service-enabled system management
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can use the service-enabled manage tracked data tool to roll back or commit data that has been imported with the service-enabled import tool.
The service-enabled manage tracked data tool lets you commit imported data or roll back all non-committed data instances to their state immediately prior to when they were imported. The tool only tracks and supports rolling back data instances that do not belong to the PegaRULES database name (Data-Admin-DB-Name).
For more information, see Rolling back and committing tracked data.
New notifications for case types
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can now enable email and push notifications for a case type to communicate an event, such as an expired service-level agreement, to users in your application. By calling attention to assignments in a case that require action, you can help users to resolve cases faster.
Assignments in upgraded flows automatically inherit the notification policy that is defined by the case type unless you provide a custom notification activity or explicitly disable notifications in the Assignment shape.
For more information, see: Case notifications.
Ignore browser and operator locale to display Designer Studio in English
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
The operator preferences configuration includes the option to ignore the browser and operator locale. Some rulesets are shared between Designer Studio and end-user portals. Translated words might occasionally display in Designer Studio. Selecting the Ignore locale check box ignores the locale of the operator and browser to display Designer Studio portals in U.S. English only.
For more information, see Updating Designer Studio preferences.
Ignore locale settings requires refresh after server restarts
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
The Ignore locale check box in operator preferences is selected to display Designer Studio in U.S. English. After a server restarts, screens initially ignore this setting. When the screen is refreshed or reopened, the screen is rendered as expected.
Enhancements to the REST integration wizard
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can use the improved REST integration wizard to quickly create data sources in your application. The steps in the wizard are now arranged in a manner that makes the process of creating REST integration more intuitive. You can add custom headers that allow you to connect to complex REST services. You can also enter the name of the system that hosts the REST service, which allows you to group data sources that connect to the same system.
For more information, see the REST integration section in Integration wizards.
Debugging data synchronization issues with offline-enabled applications
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
If an offline-enabled mobile application that originates from the Pega 7 Platform fails to synchronize data after reconnecting to the server, the Pega 7 Platform generates a PEGA0066 alert. The alert includes detailed information about the failure, such as the activity that preceded the event, entries collected from the native application, and entries from the JavaScript part of the Pega 7 Platform application. The administrator can use the alert and device logs to facilitate error analysis and debugging without having to access the failing device.
For more information, see Understanding the PEGA0066 alert - Mobile App Data-Sync Failure.

Extended proposition filter functionality
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
Multiple enhancements to the Proposition Filter rule type extend the functionality of proposition filters. When you configure the filter or the default behavior criteria in a proposition filter rule, you can select a strategy rule that contains an External Input shape. You can also apply the default behavior criteria to all incoming propositions that do not match the business issue or group defined in a proposition filter rule. Additionally, you can view the labels of when and strategy rules when you configure the filter or default behavior criteria.
For more information, see Proposition filter usability enhancements.
Building custom mobile apps that require a password to start
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
To provide extra protection of local data, you can now require user passwords for custom mobile apps. Requiring a password can increase the app's initiation time, but additional protection might be needed for applications that store sensitive information. In Designer Studio, on the Mobile tab, select Enforce user password on start to require user passwords.
For more information, see Configuring password enforcement.
Import and export feature for generic decision data
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
New import and export functionality improves the management of generic decision data records (the records that do not belong to the Strategy Results class). You can now configure generic decision data records in a CSV file and later import that file to the Pega 7 Platform. You can also export the existing generic decision data record configuration from the Pega 7 Platform to a CSV file, and save that file in a directory that is external to the Pega 7 Platform.
For more information, see Decision data rule type enhancements.
