New shape on the strategy canvas
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
The Strategy rule has been enhanced with the Embedded strategy shape, which simplifies the configuration of decisioning strategies that simultaneously apply to multiple types of audiences, for example, Devices, Households, and Subscribers. The Embedded strategy shape eliminates the need to switch between various classes to create a substrategy for each audience type that you want to target. Now, you can perform all configuration tasks on a single strategy canvas.

New interaction history attribute
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Pega® Platform 7.4 introduces the pySubjectType attribute that is used in interaction history aggregations. This attribute is populated for interaction history records that were created in release 7.4. For records that originated in earlier releases, the attribute must be set in the following scenarios:
- Single-level decisioning frameworks that use interaction history.
- Multi-level decisioning frameworks where interaction history is used by two or more levels of strategies that are defined on different classes.
For the single-level scenario, configure the Dynamic System Setting that sets the pySubjectType attribute when your framework reads interaction history records. The value of this Dynamic System Setting becomes the name of the customer class.
For the multi-level scenario, update the database table for all strategy levels manually. For each level, make sure that the value in the Subject Type column is set to the name of the class for the corresponding strategy. For example, the value for the top level strategy should be set to the name of the class of that strategy.

HBase data set type becomes resumable
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
HBase data set has been enhanced to be resumable. As a result, data flow runs that reference the HBase data set as their primary data source are now resumable. You can pause and resume such data flow runs.
For more information, see the Resumability of data flow runs section in Data flow run updates.
