Aggregates-only mode for a stream-based interaction history
Valid from Pega Version 8.3
Activate the aggregates-only mode to efficiently transition your application from a relational database interaction history to a stream-based interaction history. By transitioning from a traditional relational database interaction history to a stream-based interaction history, you enable your application to process large volumes of data more quickly so that you can react to your customers' needs in real time.
For more information, see Transitioning to a stream-based interaction history.
Ensure event strategy reliability through unit tests
Valid from Pega Version 8.3
You can now automate event strategy testing and increase the reliability of the event strategy configuration through unit tests. Avoid errors and ensure that the strategy delivers the expected results by configuring assertions on property values, aggregates, and result counts.
For more information, see Increased event strategy reliability through unit testing.
Indicate download size in offline-enabled mobile apps for iOS
Valid from Pega Version 8.3
When you publish a client-based mobile app in the Apple App Store that needs to download additional resources before it starts, the app must indicate the size of the download and obtain user consent. To comply with this requirement, you can now build offline-enabled mobile apps that prompt the user before they perform the initial data synchronization. If the user chooses not to download data, the application closes.
For more information about disclosing the data size and how the data size is calculated, see Defining advanced offline configuration for an access group.
Support for decision tables in offline-enabled applications
Valid from Pega Version 8.3
You can now use decision tables to reduce the implementation time of your offline-enabled applications. By using decision tables you can further automate case processing and derive the logic from the data model. Decision tables can be referenced in a flow rule as a type of decision shape or called from the declare expression rule. No additional configuration is required to use decision tables in offline-enabled applications.
For more information, see Decision table support in offline mode.
