Published Release Notes

Attachment migration from Pega database storage to a repository

You can now migrate case attachments from Pega database storage to a repository by using a wizard from Pega Platform™. This ability is useful, for example, when you migrate from an on-premises deployment to a Pega Cloud Services environment and you want to reduce the size of your Pega database and manage all your case attachments in a single location.

For more information, see Migrating case attachments to a repository.

Change passwords from Pega Mobile Client

You can now change your Pega^® Platform password from a mobile device. After your password expires and you try to log in to a custom mobile app, Pega Mobile Client lets you define a new password and verifies it against active password policies.

For more information, see Enabling security policies.

Building a Pega Mobile Client with custom modules

When you build a Pega Mobile Client mobile app using the Pega 7 Platform, you can now include Android or iOS custom modules. The custom modules must be included in the assets.zip file that contains the Pega Mobile Client branding and customization details.

For more information, see Building a mobile web app into a hybrid mobile app.

OAuth 2 token support in Pega Mobile Client

The Client Store module in Pega Mobile Client has been extended to support OAuth 2 tokens. The tokens are used to authorize data synchronization requests that are sent to the Pega^® Platform. Once the OAuth 2 token support is turned on and configured on the server, Pega Mobile Client starts using it automatically. This functionality is available on both iOS and Android devices.

For more information, see Enabling data synchronization with OAuth 2 tokens.

Pega File Listener process changes

Beginning with Pega 7.2.2, File Listener processes files in a different way:

• File movement in directories – Previously, files were processed from the Work directory. In Pega 7.2.2, files are processed from the source location. Files move to the Work directory only if the initial processing fails and Recovery is disabled.
• New file processing – Previously, File Listener would process all files in the source location, even if the files were added during the processing. In Pega 7.2.2, files added to the source location during processing are read the next time the File Listener starts.

For more information, see File Listener data instances.

Custom domain names in Pega Cloud

For your applications hosted on Pega® Cloud, you can use a custom domain name that conforms to your enterprise standards. By using a custom domain name, users of your Pega Cloud-hosted applications see domain names that are familiar to them.

For more information, see Requesting a custom domain name for applications hosted on Pega Cloud.

This functionality is available as of QII 2017.

Enhanced Pega Infinity Mobile Client

With the new Pega Infinity Mobile Client™ you now can build online apps that launch quickly, provide instantaneous navigation, and immediately react to user input. Pega Infinity Mobile Client uses native components for faster navigation between the screens of your custom mobile app; every tab opens in a separate webview, which accelerates switching between the tabs. Pega Infinity Mobile Client protects your sensitive information through safe and convenient single sign-on authentication and additional locking mechanisms.

For more information, see Pega Mobility and mobile clients.

Internet Application Composer (IAC) renamed to Pega Web Mashup

The name of Internet Application Composer (IAC) has changed to Pega Web Mashup.

For more information, see Pega web mashups for embedding Pega Platform UI in external web pages.

Pega Connect-CMIS support for NTLM authentication

Support is now available for using Connect-CMIS rules and NTLMv1 authentication with enterprise content management (ECM) systems such as Microsoft Sharepoint. This capability is provided by the underlying Apache Chemistry OpenCMIS libraries that impose the following restrictions:

• Only a single NTLM-enabled CMIS connector can be used per node (JVM).
• Only Basic Authentication and NTLMv1 are supported as authentication methods with Connect-CMIS.

Troubleshooting Pega Mobile Client on the login screen

An offline mobile developer can now troubleshoot issues that are not related to incorrect credentials when signing in to the Pega Mobile Client app. On the app login screen, an alert box displays where the user can click a link to examine current log files to troubleshoot the issue. The contents of the displayed log file can be filtered.
