Data transform updated to remove @java references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
The usage of @java expressions in data transform rules has been deprecated. The pyProcessDocumentCompletedEvent data transform was given as an extensible data transform intended to be overridden by customers to have their own processing logic of document completion event, however this caused confusion and when used in the out-of-the-box form it resulted in an error when saved at design time. To resolve this, the shipped data transform has been updated to call to a Rule-Utility-Function to return the file's base name, and the @java references have been removed.

PropertySet will iterate over chageList map copy to resolve CME
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
An empty menu was seen intermittently when handling incoming email, and a ConcurrentModificationException error was logged. Investigation showed that a step scope changeList map used in the handleChaining method was sometimes modified by another process while the first one was iterating over it. To resolve this, PropertySet will receive copies of the change list map from clipboard pages instead of the original map.

CMIS Update Request corrected for single Value List property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After upgrade, following the process of searching Documents by connecting to CMIS and getting the results, then selecting the document, editing it, and resubmitting the document to the CMIS repository by clicking on the update button worked when passing a multi row of values to the Value list property but failed when passing a single row of value to the Value List property. An error was generated with the message "pega.pegarules.pub.services.InboundMappingException: Failed to process CMIS service 'updateProperties' ". In 7.2, updateProperties CMIS functionality uses the Apache API opencmis.commons.spi.ObjectService#updateProperties() whereas in 8.3 it is refactored to use the API opencmis.client.api.CmisObject#updateProperties() and this API allows multi-valued property to be updated with multiple values only. To resolve this, the CMIS connector has been modified to update the properties implementation such that it will pass-on the property update value to Apache OpenCMIS API as either List or Scalar based on the property definition (whether Property is configured as multi-valued or not).

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

Obj-Browse will retrieve more than 50 records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After performing multiple skims, a newly added property was not retrieved when an Obj-Browse was performed. In Obj-Browse action, when a class is mapped to an external table and does not contain BLOB column pzpvstream, in a specific case where pxObjClass value is a reference to a parameter, a list of properties mapped to the class explicitly by querying pr4_rule_property table using NativeSQL is fetched. This call by default returns only 50 records: in cases where there are more than 50 properties for an external class, some of the properties from the obj-browse response mapping are therefore missed. To resolve this, the limit of 50 records has been removed from this NativeSQL call.

DSS added for fall back to legacy decision table format
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After upgrade and switch to IL, non-working decision tables created in one class had pyWorkPage mapped to another class. In the column, the properties were mentioned as "pyWorkPage.xxxxx", but at runtime when the non-working decision tables ran as standalone, the system did not ask for values to be entered to evaluate the result. Tracer showed the error as "Goal seek requires missing input property pyWorkPage.All_Offln_Trans_In on page pyWorkPage; details: (unknown)". Investigation showed that the Legacy assembly for the decision table used the lazy evaluation pattern to resolve the expression in the column header in the generated Java code. This resulted in the property for the column header only being read when it was used. However, for IL-based decision tables all properties are read immediately before any rows are evaluated, which requires the property already be present on the page. This missing property from the lazy assembly then resulted in the exception. To resolve this, Executable.generateOrCompileSource and Virtual tableassemblyHandler.useIL() have been modified to fall back to legacy decision table format if the DSS InternalLanguage/disableIlBasedDecisionTable is enabled.

Updated handling for validating/saving circumstanced rule on branch
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Using 'save as' for an already circumstanced rule with a new property/template caused the Rule-.DictionaryValidation activity to register the error "StandardValidate-CircumPropAlreadyDefined". The same activity Step did not throw an error when saving into Branch. This was traced to the ruleset name not being the same for the branch ruleset due to having _BRANCH_Branch-Name appended to its name, and has been resolved by adding a condition to check for circumstanced rule in a branch.

Updated HashMap logic for better concurrent thread handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
The Pega execution engine was getting stuck at com.pega.eclipse.util.collections.HashtableOfIntValues.get for many thread within thread dumps. Investigation showed that when the key was not present in keytable, a thread would be stuck in an endless 'while' loop related to mapping. To resolve this, the data structure that is used for ruleset mapping from HashtableOfIntValues to Concurrent HashMap has been modified to better handle concurrent threads, and the handling for get and put has been updated.

Oracle handling updated for primary key in upgrade DDL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Previously, when a primary key of a table was created Oracle would automatically create a unique index with the same name as the primary key. However, with the introduction of Oracle 19, an optimization was added which will not do that if there is another unique index on the table which contains the column(s) of the primary key. This difference can cause updates to fail with the error "cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key". This has been resolved by updating the handling for primary key constraint and the corresponding index name.

Parser updated for value list
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When attempting to process a JSON list using a File Data set that had a list attribute, the clipboard looked correct while performing the browse operation on the data set, but executing the data flow that referenced this data set resulted in the error "Expecting PageList and got String List". If this was changed to a text property, the browse operation on Data set failed but the data flow worked without any issues. and the values were copied into the text properties.This has been resolved by changing the parser for value list.
