Published Release Notes

Information Mashup section for OAuth 2.0 provider authorization

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.

For more information, see Access protected API resources by using OAuth 2.0.

Updates to the Application rule form

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

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

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.

Column Populator utility documentation out of date for prior versions

The documentation for using the Column Populator utility to populate newly exposed database columns is out of date for Pega 7 Platform versions prior to 7.2. For all Pega 7 versions, refer to the Pega 7.2 help documentation for instructions about how to use this utility.

Quickly make a calculation based on a repeating field group

After you add a calculated (read-only) field to a form, you can create simple calculations that reference numeric fields within repeating groups. The expression can use common functions (Sum of, Average of, Minimum of, or Maximum of) or can be a custom expression.

For more information, see Calculations based on a repeating field group.

Add validation to fields on a form

You can now validate the values of single-value fields when you build a form. You can also provide messages that are displayed to users when any condition fails.

For more information, see Field validation on a form.

Atom Server and SOAP Server rule forms are deprecated

The Atom Server and SOAP Server rule forms are deprecated. Use the Connect CMIS rule form instead.

Existing rules that were created with the deprecated forms still work, but you cannot create new ones.

Create SAP integration of IDoc type

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

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.
