Published Release Notes

Enhanced tables in Cosmos React UI

The Pega Platform™ Cosmos React UI environment now includes improved tables. The updated tables use a revamped graphic design and support a number of new run-time behaviors, including column freezing and advanced filtering. The added features improve the user experience by giving case workers more control over data in tables, while the revised architecture enhances efficiency and reliability.

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.

Response timeout configuration for predictions

You can now set a response timeout for your predictions in Prediction Studio. By setting a response timeout, you control how Prediction Studio registers customer responses that later serve as feedback data for your predictions.

For more information, see Customizing predictions.

New mobile capabilities in Pega Express

In Pega Express, you can now configure offline case types and quickly build a custom mobile app from the Mobile app tab in the settings. You can apply branding, use certificates, and take advantage of device capabilities such as geolocation tracking. If you set up signing certificates (Android, iOS) and provisioning profiles (iOS) for the custom mobile app in the Designer Studio, you can also access them in Pega Express.

For more information, see Building mobile apps.

New Schema Tools and Query Inspector landing pages for Pega Cloud

Two landing pages have been added for advanced database administration tasks for Pega Cloud customers who use a Pega-hosted instance. These landing pages minimize the operations that need to be performed outside of the Pega 7 Platform. They are available only for customers who use a Postgres database.

From the new Schema Tools landing page, you can view PegaRULES and PegaDATA database schemas, increase the size of a column, add a composite or function index, update database statistics for a table, and defragment a table.

From the new Query Inspector landing page, you can enter an SQL query and generate an explain plan.

To use these landing pages, you must have the new PegaRULES:DatabaseAdministrator role. You access the landing pages by clicking Designer Studio > System > Database > Schema Tools or by clicking Designer Studio > System > Database > Query Inspector. The individual features that you can access are determined by the privileges that are assigned to you.

For more information, see Schema Tools and Query Inspector landing pages for tuning and maintaining databases in the Pega Cloud.

New location for case-type settings

The configuration options for case-type settings have been moved from the property panel to the Settings tab in Case Designer. This change separates behavioral settings from life-cycle settings so that you can stay focused as you design your case types.

For more information, see Configuring case-type behavior.

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.

Data APIs support data exploration in React UI tables

Data APIs have been enhanced to support filtering, sorting, paging, and aggregation in React UI tables. You can use that functionality to access your data quickly and intuitively. For example, by using paging, you can query a data page to retrieve the second page of an employee contact list and specify the number of results that are displayed on the page.

For more information, see Data API performance and limitations.

Enhancements to token lifetime limits

Pega Platform™ uses OAuth 2.0 authorization codes, access tokens, and refresh tokens to provide flexible token-based security for applications. Expiration settings for these codes and tokens now adhere to certain strict value range based on industry leading practices. For example, the lifetime specified for the authorization code must be in the range 1-600 seconds.

These can be configured in the OAuth2 Client registration rule form.

For more information, see OAuth 2.0 Management Services.
