Added pause after Library Extraction to ensure Rule-Utility-Functions are present
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, nodes were not starting and the error "pub.context.InitializationFailedError: PRNodeImpl init failed" appeared. This was traced to an issue with the pzSharedTenant rule: when pzSharedTenant (Rule Access When) is assembled by the system, it uses the compareTwoValues Rule-Utility-Function. If the system is not able to find the correct version of compareTwoValues, it adds an UnresolvedAssemblyError in the assembly of the pzSharedTenant, causing the startup failure. This has been resolved by adding an await call after the LibraryExtraction task to wait for it to complete. This wait will ensure that the library extraction task completes before starting the search task which uses Rule-Utility-Functions

Added safeURL encoding for Japanese characters in attached filenames
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
It was not possible to preview a Japanese-titled PDF file attached on a work object. Investigation showed that in case of Japanese characters, file names were not being correctly encoded during the fetch request when JBoss was used. The retrieval worked correctly under Tomcat. In order to ensure consistent encoding, the safeURL API will be used for constructing the URL and for the activities DisplayAttachFile and pzDownloadFromRepository which add the ContentDisposition header.

JMS push notification made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After creating a JMS Service to call pySendPushNotification from an activity, running it using User Context worked as expected but selecting initialize Service Context resulted in the Push notification silently failing in the context of JMS service. The JMS is used as a communication medium between legacy and Pega solutions. When the message arrives, Pega creates a new case and sends a push notification to the user, who has only 2 minutes to accept the case. Because of the urgency of timeliness in this situation, the push is sent directly from the context of the service rather than expend 30 seconds for agent processing. However, because the application was not always available to the pySendPushNotification activity (and further to API call), the push failed. In order to avoid this condition, the system has been modified to use the more widely available pxThread instead of Application when possible.

Improvements made to Excel data import handling for decision tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
On importing an Excel file into a decision table, the values modified in Excel were getting updated even though the rule was checked in after the import. Investigation showed that the API which handled converting the imported Excel file for use on the clipboard was defaulting to save actions if the rule was not checked out or in private edit before the import. In order to prevent future issues, the following changes have been made in this area: The "Import" button will be enabled only after clicking on checkout button, and discarding the checkout will also discard any imported values. When checkout for the rule set is disabled, only the save option will be displayed on the decision table. When the import button is visible and enabled, imported values will not be preserved if Actions -> Refresh is used before saving. When rulesets are disabled, the decision table can only be private edited and at that time the save and import buttons will be visible. When private edit is visible, the import button will be in a disabled state.

SOAP settings updated to work with IBM JBK 1.7
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When calling Service SOAP hosted on WebSphere 8.5+ and JDK 1.7, the SOAP client was failing with a java.lang.VerifyError. This was traced to a change in the settings necessary for use with IBM JBK 1.7, and the needed properties have been updated.

Keyboard tab support added added for Focus on Date control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
It was not possible to use the Tab key to move to a section with date control to launch it, and hitting enter when on a calendar did not open it. To resolve these, tabindex has been added for date/time focus and the calendar will open on enter.

isAvailable calendar instance will include time zones
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using a custom configuration to route assignments, if today was configured as unavailablefrom date, assignments were still routed to the current operator even though they were not available. Analysis showed that the same Calendar was not used to compare date objStartDate, opUnavailableFrom and opUnavailableTo in the function, isAvailable. The isAvailable FUA calculates objStartDate by getting the calendar instance and setting the time by calculating it from the next business day. However, the calendar instance was created from Calendar.getInstance(), which does not use a time zone, and this resulted in a mis-match of time. To resolve this, instead of creating a calendar instance objStartDate will be formatted to YYYYMMDD format and then converted to the requestor time zone timings using Data Time Utils parseDateTimeString.

Updated SendEmail shape to remove newline code from the subject line
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using the SendEmail shape to send outgoing email, the message contained HTML tags on the subject line that caused it to be split and copied into the email body. This has been resolved by updating PegaEmailClientImpl.prepareMessage() to replace new line characters with spaces in the subject.

Support added for multiple host proxy architecture
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using an architecture where certain types of users were sent through multiple proxy servers to get the Pega Cloud instance, an exception was generated at the point of accessing the environment. This was traced to the use of Apache 2.4 with mod_proxy. As the request passed through each proxy, the x-forwarded-host header had values appended to it by mod_proxy which resulted in the error "com.pega.pegarules.pub.context.PRSecurityException: Multiple host names in header X-forwarded-Host". This has been resolved by updating the code to support using a multiple host proxy configuration.

Correct time zone chosen for fr_Fr appointment functionq
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the "fr_Fr" location and and "Europe/Paris" time zone for appointments, a null pointer exception was seen related to the function getStartOrEndDateTime. Investigation showed that the incorrect time zone was being picked from the fr_FR.xml file when parsing the date. To resolve this, 4 letter time zone codes have been moved above the 3 letter time zone codes.
