Show multiple views of data in your application
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now show multiple views of data in your application by adding the record editor (pxRecordsEditor) section to a layout, another section, or a cell in a layout. You can configure the section to customize the display and enable the search, import, and export capabilities of the record editor.
For more information, see Multiple views of data in the record editor section.
Support for additional rule types for PegaUnit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
To compare the expected results with the results that are returned by running a rule, you can now create PegaUnit test cases for the following rule types:
- Activities
- Data transforms
- Strategies
- Decision trees
- Decision tables
After you unit test these rules, you can convert them to test cases and configure assertions on the test cases. You can also set up the clipboard with data before tests are run, and clean up the clipboard after tests are run.
For more information, see PegaUnit testing.
Page assertions are supported for PegaUnit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now create page assertions for PegaUnit test cases. Because data transforms and activities can create or remove pages, you can configure page assertions to determine whether a page exists after you run PegaUnit test cases.
For more information, see Configuring page assertions.
Authenticate REST data sources by using OAuth 2.0
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now authenticate the data sources that are created from your REST integration by configuring OAuth 2.0 authentication in the New REST Integration wizard. You can specify or create an OAuth 2.0 authentication profile in the wizard by using the client credentials or authorization code grant type.
For more information, see OAuth 2.0 in REST integration.
Customized data imports
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now further customize the data import process in Data Designer by:
- Setting a default import purpose and preventing the selection of an import purpose to speed up frequent imports of the same kind
- Removing the import purposes that you do not need for your data type
- Defining a default field mapping between the fields in the .csv file and the fields in your data type that act as a unique identifier (key), to save time during the import process
- Skipping the import progress screen and showing progress contextually within your application
- Including the link for data import anywhere in your application or calling it in the background from a service or agent
For more information, see Data import customization.
Enhanced data imports
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The data import process in Data Designer has been enhanced to give you more options. You can now import case types, save and use templates for field mapping, add data without updating existing data, specify date and time formats, and reprocess erroneous records by downloading a .csv file that lists the errors in your data import. You can also adjust the data import wizard to the context where it is included.
For more information, see Data import enhancements.
New formats for styling report data grids
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
When you view a report, the data grid that is displayed is now styled by using either the List report format or the Summarized report format, depending on the report type. With this enhancement, you can display report data differently, and perhaps more effectively, than other grids in your portal. In the skin of your application, these new formats will be added and upgraded automatically by copying the Default format for the Trees & grids layout type, which was previously used to style reports.
For more information, see Modifying data grid formats for reports.
BIX -I command-line option fails for unexposed properties
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) command-line extractions fail when the extract has a filter that uses unexposed property references that are passed in by the input file that you specified in the -I command-line option. Previously, the BIX extraction ignored the filter and the extraction did not fail.
BIX filtering now works like report filtering
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
Filtering for Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) extracts has been enhanced to work like report filtering, making it easier to use. Existing filters that use the Contains/DoesNotContain filter operation will be converted to use the Equals/NotEquals filter operation.
New PEGA0084 alert - Search node count
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The PEGA0084 alert is generated when the number of available index host nodes does not meet the quorum ((replicas/2) + 1) required for index writes to succeed. This alert can occur when some of the index nodes go down, causing the number of available index host nodes to be less than the quorum. For more information, see PEGA0084 - Search node count.
