Support for controlling binary file upload in Pega Mobile Client
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
The Client Store API of Pega® Mobile Client has been modified so that you can suspend and resume the process of uploading binary files to the server. You can also check the state of the file uploading process. As a result, custom mobile app users can process their work items without having to wait for the synchronization process to finish.
For more information, see Pega Mobile Client API methods for controlling binary data upload and Client Store API.
Support for large binary data item storage in Pega Mobile Client and offline case attachments in Pega Platform
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Pega® Mobile Client can now store and synchronize large binary data items and their corresponding actions from the action queue on Android and iOS devices. As a result, custom mobile app users can view, attach, and delete data files, whether the device is online or offline. For this function to work, you must enable offline case attachment support, which allows your custom mobile apps to synchronize case attachments between the Pega Platform and the mobile device.
For more information, see Enabling offline case attachments support and Client Store API.
Section preview added for templated sections in Designer Studio
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
When you create a templated section, a preview displays on the Design tab of the Section form, showing how the section will look at run time. The section preview immediately shows the results of each design change that you make as you add, move, or delete elements, resize the section, or modify the application skin. By helping you visualize the section's runtime appearance, section preview reduces rework and saves you development time.
For more information, see Section preview shows changes in real time for templated sections.
Navigation support for test ID
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
The Navigation rule supports the addition of a test ID to each node. Test IDs support automated testing by providing a unique identifier for user interface elements. Add Test IDs to a navigation rule in the rule form configuration.
For more information, see Navigation form - Completing the Editor tab.
New PEGA0097 alert
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
In Pega Cloud, if a user attempts to establish a session and the configured maximum number of HTTP requestors on the cluster has been reached, the user is directed to a page that displays the PEGA0097 alert message. This alert helps to prevent a system from becoming overloaded.
For more information, see PEGA0097 alert.
Enhanced adaptive model reporting
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
The new Model report replaces the Behavior and the Performance overview reports to improve report usability and provide consistent information. You can export your Model reports into PDF or Excel files to view or share them outside the Pega® Platform. The Model report also includes information on the groups of correlated predictors where the best performing predictor from each group is active in the model and other remain inactive; this information helps you understand why predictors are active or inactive.
For more information, see Generating a model report.
Use Kinesis data sets in Pega Decision Management
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
You can create Kinesis data set instances to connect to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and use this data set in decision management for processing real-time streaming data. Integrating Kinesis data streams into Pega® Platform in the cloud provides a fault-tolerant and scalable solution for processing IT infrastructure log data, application logs, social media, market data feeds, and web clickstream data.
For more information, see Creating a Kinesis data set.
Data Visualization controls are now available
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Use a Data Visualization control when you need a highly configurable visualization beyond the standard pie, bar, and line charts. With a Data Visualization control, you can appropriately represent any type of data. You can add Data Visualization controls to sections or anywhere else a standard control can be used, such as dashboard widgets.
For more information, see Adding and configuring a Data Visualization control.
Store and scale the processing of Stream data records on multiple nodes
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
You can configure the Stream service on Pega® Platform to ingest, route, and deliver high volumes of low-latency data such as web clicks, transactions, sensor data, and customer interaction history. You can store streams of records in a fault-tolerant way and process stream records as they occur. Add or remove Stream nodes to increase or decrease the use of the Stream service and optimize data processing.
For more information, see Stream service overview.
Layout groups support test ID on nested dynamic layouts
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Dynamic layouts support the addition of a test ID to each dynamic layout within a layout group. Test IDs support automated testing by providing a unique identifier for user interface elements. Add test IDs to a dynamic layout within a layout group from the General tab of the layout properties.
For more information, see Dynamic Layout Properties - General tab.
