Consistent authoring experience for sections
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
Section references inside a dynamic layout have the same configuration options as a top-level section within a section (section include). Section references reduce the need for included sections, reduce the size of the document object model (DOM), and provide a more consistent authoring experience. You can specify a container format, set view and update privileges, and defer content load for sections within or outside of a dynamic layout. For more information see Harness and Section forms - Adding a section.
Unable to create text analytics models when Java 2 Security is enabled
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
Security exceptions that prevent you from creating text analytics models are caused by the Java 2 Security feature that is enabled at the JVM level. This feature denies access to the text analytics resources that are required for text parsing functions.
Creating a text analytics model results in a failure because of a number of security-related exceptions, for example:
java.security.AccessControlException: Access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission""createSecurityManager")
The suggested approach for avoiding this problem is to use the text analytics models that are provided by default, for example, pySentimentModels, pyTelecomTaxonomy, and so on.

Improved diagnostics and logging for Decision Data Store nodes
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
On the Decision Data Store tab, you can view additional metrics from the Decision Data Store nodes that help with diagnosing Cassandra database problems. You can also set the logging level to control interactions from and to Decision Data Store nodes.
For more information, see Decision Data Service node status information and Configuring the Decision Data Store service.
Tracing Cassandra queries in a Decision Data Store data set
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
You can now enable the Trace option for every operation in the Decision Data Store data set to collect information about how the Decision Data Store queries are executed in Cassandra. You can view this information in the clipboard and use it to troubleshoot and optimize performance of the Decision Data Store data sets and Decision Data Store nodes. All the queries and related events are collected on the DDSTraces page on the same Pega thread.
For more information, see Tracing Decision Data Store operations.
