Published Release Notes

Data pages can source information from a robotic desktop automation

You can now configure data pages to source information from robotic desktop automations (RDA). Using an RDA to source a data page allows you to connect your Pega Platform™ application to any application that is accessible from an end-user's desktop. By using automations to retrieve data and load it into a data page, you can use data virtualization to separate your Pega Platform data model from the physical interface of a legacy system against which the automation is running.

For more information, see Obtaining information from robotic automations.

Pega Cloud Services support for the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region

Pega Cloud Services now supports deployment to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region. Deployment across multiple availability zones within a geographical region protects against zone faults and localized service disruptions, and ensures high availability.

For more information about regions and availability zones, see Pega Cloud Services capabilities.

New My Pega Cloud portal with enhanced functionality available

You can use the My Pega Cloud self-service portal to restart an environment, download log files, or view high-level details about  an environment. For more information, see Managing Pega Cloud environments from My Support Portal.

To access this portal, you must have the appropriate site credentials. To manage your support contacts, see the Support Contact Administrator Guide for additional information.

Archival support added to cases in Pega Cloud

You can now create an archival policy to move inactive cases from Pega Cloud to secondary storage. By periodically purging entries from your database, you can improve application performance.

For more information, see Case archiving.

Support for Data streaming service for Pega Cloud Marketing 7.4 applications

Pega Cloud Marketing 7.4 applications support the Kafka-based Stream service featured in Pega Platform 7.4.

Translation support added to application guides

You can now localize the content in your application guides. By referencing paragraphs instead of rich text in your chapters and tasks, you can provide guidance to users in their native language.

For more information about application guides, see Creating a guide for end users.

Enhanced support for the Kibana platform

Pega Cloud Services began running Kibana 4.6.x. In addition to this version update, the Kibana viewer now includes:

• “DEBUG” level messages in PegaRULES log
• The PegaRULES-SecurityEvent log

Add Robotic Automation capabilities to your application by using the Connect Robot rule

Pega Platform™ supports a new Connect Robot rule that you can use to integrate robotic automation capabilities into your application. You can publish information about automation bundles from Robotic Automation Studio directly to Dev Studio and automatically generate and display new rules. Also, when you source data pages from robotic desktop automations (RDA), Pega Platform displays a list of automations from which you can choose.

For more information, see About Connect Robot rules.

Pega Cloud Services support for the AWS EU (Paris) region

Pega Cloud Services now supports deployment to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) EU (Paris) region. Deployment across multiple availability zones within a geographical region protects against zone faults and localized service disruptions, and ensures high availability.

For more information about regions and availability zones, see Pega Cloud availability and resiliency.

This additional region is available as of QI 2019.

Automatic redirection to HTTPS for Pega Cloud Services environments

Pega Cloud Services now redirects HTTP to HTTPS automatically for applications that run in Pega Cloud Services environments. This automatic redirection ensures that your network traffic is always encrypted.
