Automatically process cases with Box
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now use Box to store attachments during automated case processing without requiring user input at run time for authentication or authorization with Box. The authentication profile must be OAuth 2.0 with a grant type of authorization code. You can view which apps are connected, connect apps, and disconnect apps on the Connected apps landing page.
For more information, see Connected apps landing page.
Single sign-on (SSO) support for Box
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now use SSO integration with Box so that users who have already been authenticated are not asked to reauthenticate when accessing Box from their Pega application. The Pega application and the Box application must use the same identity provider federation. This capability provides an integrated user experience and supports automated case processing of attachments.
For more information, see Authentication Profile data instances - Completing the OAuth 2.0 tab.
Send and receive queued messages securely with IBM MQ servers
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now configure applications developed on the Pega 7 Platform for secure message queuing with IBM MQ servers by using the MQ server rule form. You secure the connection by specifying the cipher suites with encryption standards that meet your requirements and the SSL/TLS X.509 certificates that you use for authentication.
For more information, see Configure secure message queuing with IBM MQ servers.
Functionality of the pyInvokeRESTConnector rule and the pxDeferenceEndpoint rule moved to core engine
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The functionality of the pyInvokeRESTConnector rule and the pxDeferenceEndpoint rule has been moved into the core engine code of the Pega 7 Platform. This change provides more consistent behavior, reduces maintenance, and reduces the risk of regression issues. As a result, you can no longer customize these rules, and upgrading the Pega 7 Platform requires special considerations if you previously customized these rules.
For more information, see Upgrading with customized pyInvokeRESTConnector and pxDeferenceEndpoint rules.
