Information Mashup section for OAuth 2.0 provider authorization
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
You can now add an Information Mashup (pxInformationMashup) section to a layout, a region, another section, or a cell in a layout to delegate access to OAuth 2.0-protected resources. Configure the section with an OAuth 2.0 authentication profile, mashup section, and authorization section to connect to an external application at run time. For example, users can log on to Facebook from the Pega 7 Platform by using this section and access photographs in their Facebook account.

Updates to the Application rule form
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
On the Integration & security tab of the Application rule form, you can configure your application to access, store, and manage versions of case attachments in ECM repositories that support the CMIS specification. You can enable CMIS content storage, CMIS content sourcing, or both for your application.
For more information, see Case attachment versions in CMIS repositories.
Manage versions of case attachments in CMIS repositories
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
You can now access, store, and manage versions of case attachments by using external ECM repositories that support CMIS. You can check out, lock, and locally edit a case attachment that is stored in an external ECM repository that supports CMIS. You can also check in the case attachment to create a new version of the attachment.
For more information, see Case attachment versions in CMIS repositories.
Updates to the Connect CMIS rule form
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
You can now use the enhanced Connect CMIS rule form to define connections to ECM repositories that support the CMIS specification. On the Service tab, select an existing CMIS provider or configure a custom provider and enter the server type, server URI, and authentication profile to connect to your CMIS provider.
For more information, see Case attachment versions in CMIS repositories.
Create SAP integration of IDoc type
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
You can now create data sources in your application based on IDoc XSD documents by using the New SAP Integration wizard. The system generates data and integration layer records that are required to use the data sources.
For more information, see SAP integration by using IDoc XSD documents.
Updates to the Connect SAP rule form
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
You can use the enhanced Connect SAP rule form to create or update SAP connectors of type IDoc. On the Service tab of this rule form, specify or create an XML stream that represents an IDoc XSD input document, which describes the external SAP service.
For more information, see SAP integration by using IDoc XSD documents.
Updates to the Data Page rule form
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
You can use the enhanced Data Page rule form to specify the name of a source system in the System name field in the Data sources section. This field represents the name of the system that is associated with a data source. For example, if your data source is a REST connector that connects to an external weather service such as Google Weather API, you can enter Google Weather in the System name field for the data source. The system name is used to display the source systems for a data type on the External Data Entities landing page.
For more information, see Viewing external data entities.
Execute Tests service to run all data page unit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can now use the Execute Tests service to run a set of tests at the end of build runs. An external validation engine, such as Jenkins, calls the service, which runs all data page unit test cases in your application, and returns the results in XUnit format. Use this service to validate the data in your application and to correct any issues before you deploy your application.
For more information, see Running all data page unit test cases with the Execute Tests service.
Quick and customized data imports
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can now quickly add, update, or delete data records for your data types by uploading .csv files that contain a large number of records. The bulk import process allows you to import data from a variety of sources and gives you more control over your data. You can customize this process by overriding a data transform to add purposes, a section to add fields, and an activity to define the logic for each purpose.
For more information, see Data import customization.
Enhancements to the REST integration wizard
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can use the improved REST integration wizard to quickly create data sources in your application. The steps in the wizard are now arranged in a manner that makes the process of creating REST integration more intuitive. You can add custom headers that allow you to connect to complex REST services. You can also enter the name of the system that hosts the REST service, which allows you to group data sources that connect to the same system.
For more information, see the REST integration section in Integration wizards.
