Batching now enabled when using IH Summary shape in substrategies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Batching was not being enabled when using IH Summary shape in substrategies. This was traced to the IH_SUMMARY_CACHE field not automatically being passed to sub-strategies, and has been corrected.

Threads will be updated to maintain assembly context when using Static Assembler
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When running the Static Assembler utility from UI, the assembler process completed successfully but the PegaRULES.log was flooded with the FATAL exception "Usage error - next Executable not based on current". This error was generated from com.pega.pegarules.session.internal.mgmt.Executable constructor, and indicated an issue with the thread context being different from the assembly context. To resolve this, the system has been modified to update the context of thread to what is expected as assembly context.

Added workaround to handle HiddenPropertiesToIgnore when a page is in Read Only mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
A 'WrongModeException' was generated while trying to use the Data Transform pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore to remove system properties from page. When the Datapage was set to Editable/Savable mode, the Activity ran without an error and executed the Data transform. When the Datapage was in Read only mode, the error occurred. This was traced to a process that previously was allowed to set a page to an empty string, but which was removed during recent work. To resolve this, four instances of pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore that included Single Page Value properties have been updated by moving them to the bottom of the Data Page and changing them to an "Update Page" from a "Set".

Parent case lock properly released when child case is resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After creating Parent-Child casetypes with default locking where the child case had the “Allow access to parent” check box checked, the temporary lock acquired on the parent during resolution of the child case was not released afterwards. If “Allow access to parent” was not checked, then the locks were released on both the parent and the child. This was traced to a combination of parameters used by the openIfStale() API where aUnlockOnCommit could be set to false despite the provided locking strategy expecting it to be true, as well as honoring UnlockOnCommit when maintainLockingStrategy is false. To resolve this, the system has been updated to always check whether the lock is available in the map already and if it is, then set unlockonCommit to true. Otherwise, under all cases, honor the passed-in unlockOnCommit value.

REST authentication settings use fully qualified name for resolution
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The application setting used in REST connectors for authentication was resolving to similarly-named rules instead of matching the exact name of the rule. This has been resolved by enhancing pzGetSettingID to use both parts of the fully qualified name (name and category) provided by the pzSettingsORA control when determining which setting from the report to return.

Data page form displaying activity parameters from 'when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
While displaying the parameters list for source activity in data page rule form, an icon was displayed. This was traced to the visibility condition being an expression but mentioned as a 'when' rule, causing the parameter dialog to not load. This has been resolved by updating the pzActivityParamList activity to change the visibility condition as expression from a 'when' rule.

Force order added to inner join when running a Rules Resolution filter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, D_getResolvedWorkStatuses was not loading properly due to a Report Definition that used a Filter by Rule Resolution option timing out on the SQL Server. When the Filter by Rule Resolution option is selected in Report Definition, it will generate a rule resolution query with an inner join which can cause a time out on the SQL Server while it tries to find out the join order for tables with multiple joins. To resolve this, the SQL server will provide a Force order, merge inner join hint option by way of an added DSS reporting/useForceOrderHint. Additionally, reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery should be set on Pega-Reporting to set things up for using the Merge Inner join hint in the query.

Improved upgrade handling for tables using classes with property references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, some page property values were blank and exposed database columns did not contain the values. Investigation showed that the reference properties did not have context and hence column population was not able to determine their value. To resolve this, instead of doing column population for all the columns, the system will identify classes that have property references and that are being optimized as part of upgrade process and maintain a list of specific columns to update.

DASS switch added for use with older Connect Rest passing encoded inputs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
As of Pega 8.2, an EmbedURL configuration in the REST connector was made available to provide flexibility to choose URL-encoding on an as-needed basis. In order to support connectors created prior to Pega 8.2, a configuration has been added to support usecases that pass encoded inputs to the connector execution. This is available by way of a connect/DisablePathDecoding DASS switch in the REST connector resource path parameters handling.

Topic name prefix support added for Kafka
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
An enhancement has been added to support the use of site-specific standards for the naming of queues. This can be used to add clarification between Kafka Topics created by Pega and those created for internal topics when using a shared Kafka Cluster. This is done using the new setting: <env name=”services/stream/name/pattern” value=”prefix{stream.name}postfix”/> .As an example, if tenant.name is resolved into "myco" and the environment into "prod1", value="{tenant.name}-{environment}-{stream.name}" will result in stream myco-prod1-{stream.name} By default, when stream.provider = EXTERNAL, the default will be “pega-{stream.name}” .
