Resolved WSDL SOAP exception when using target namespace
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
When adding a well-defined XML ParseRule as a Request Header, saving and checking in the rule caused the Deployment results link to generate the error "Caught exception while creating WSDL for service package: : com.pega.pegarules.pub.PRRuntimeException: PRRuntimeException Header message is included with method namespace instead of targetnamespace" This was an error in the code handling a target namespace for Request Headers (configured on the Service Soap -> Requests tab), and has been fixed.

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.

XMLSecurity library updated to ensure proper SAML STS token signature verification
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
Classes of Repackaged version of XML Security library were conflicting with JDK/container and causing sporadic signature failures. The ApacheXMLDSig which gets registered as part of the initialization of WSS4j often conflicts with the providers with same name but loaded earlier during server startup. This has been resolved by modifying the XMLSecurity library to register the provider with a different/unique name that will not conflict with any of the standard registered providers.

Updated Outlook functions used by SendEmailMessage
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2
The SendEmailMessage function is used in conjunction with email clients to send a meeting invite from the PRPC application and have the accepted invitation and subsequent reminders appear on the recipient's calendar. This relies on key value pairs to define different functionalities at the client's end when the file is received. Integration with Outlook is a legacy feature of this function, but does receive some maintenance to maintain viability. To that end, the system has been updated to resolve issues with the calendar interface to Outlook concerning the trigger of meeting invite reminders at the client's end and to better handle the time zone conversion of that meeting. In addition, updates have been added to show the name of the meeting organizer instead of the email id, and the text used by the MeetingData.pyDescription function to set the meeting invite description will also be seen in the mail body.

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.

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.
