Addressed XML handling for "Expand Java Pages"
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After upgrading, an IOException occurred while updating a work object if "Expand Java Pages" was unchecked in General options -> Tracer Settings. When the checkbox is enabled, the Javaobject wrapper uses its custom read/write methods to serialize the page. When unchecked, default serialization invoked the ParseXMLSAXRulWrapper.java which contained some properties which are not Serializable. In order to ensure proper XML handling, changes were made to XMLStream.java so the code flow is independent of the expand java pages option in tracer and always takes the custom serialization path.

Data transform updated to remove @java references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
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 changeList map copy to resolve CME
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
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 8.4.1
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.

ClipboardToJSON Serializer enhanced
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
After creating a JSON data transform with the top level structure set to Object and a step that mapped a Pagelist in clipboard to an Array of Objects in JSON, calling the data transform in Serialize mode resulted in a JSON mapping exception. This was a missed usecase for using the JSON serializer with nested pagelists in page, and has been resolved by adding pagegroup support for data transform serialization and skipping pagegroup serialization when automapped.

Logic updated to correctly tally requests that bypass authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The logic used by the usage summary report to capture service invocation was not updated when the code was changed to bypass authentication for some service requests: if authentication was disabled, the request was treated as authenticated and was not correctly reported in the service invocation total of the SOAP usage summary report. To correct this and report accurate transactions, the system now resets the authentication flag for stateless unauthenticated requestors at the end of service invocation so that usage tracking is correctly recorded.

DSS added for fall back to legacy decision table format
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
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.

Fixed FCM access for remote work item attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using FCM to access remote work item via find by ID, attempting to open the history / attachments popup generated a green tick (success but no content) on the first attempt and the error "Failed to find a 'RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY' with the name 'HISTORYANDATTACHMENTS' that applies to '@baseclass'" on subsequent attempts. "the operation completed successfully, but returned no content". The issue only happened when first logging on and searching for a work item and did not occur if the tab was closed and the same work item reopened. This was caused by the prgateway sending an HTTP request where the Pega thread name in the URL was stripped of a slash, triggering the creation of a brand new Pega thread where expected pages were missing. To resolve this, the code has been updated to correctly maintain slashes and add them if necessary.
