Secure shared link generation added to scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a scheduled report with a link was sent in email, clicking the link displayed an access denied message. To support this use, logic has been added to pytaskoutputprocessor in the pega-scheduledtask-reporting and pega-scheduledtask classes that will create a secure encrypted URL using the PublicLinkURL function.

Added compatibility for UDFs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Using UDFs against the pr_data_admin table was causing an exception when scrolling through the results. Investigation showed that UDFs were not able to read some instances in the database because the blobs were stored in an uncompressed format. This was due to instances generated during installs and upgrades being saved without compression, which was not a problem for the engine but caused errors when using optional added UDFs. In order to improve compatibility, the system has been updated so that system-generated instances during installs and upgrades, which are saved without the full engine, will use Compress.deflate to compress bytes before saving to the database.

Configurability added to SLA Timeliness to allow either 0 or NULL for Unqualified records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using a Report Definition where the count (aggregate function) was used for both the WithinSLA and Past Deadline columns, the correct value was not getting displayed. The correct value was displayed when the sum function was used instead of the count function, but clicking 'value' returned all values despite what value was displayed on the screen. This was a behavior change related to performing a drill down action on a report definition. As per the older behavior, drill down relies on a specific value (NULL) to determine whether a record is a candidate to be shown in the drill down report. From 7.2.1 forward, drilldown relies on value 0 instead of NULL to make the average summarize function work properly, which led to a change in behavior when used with other summarize functions like sum and count. To resolve this, SLA Timeliness related RAFs have been modified to conditionally return either 0 or NULL for Unqualified records based on a DASS config.

Enhanced discrimination for tasks in MyPega spaces
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using My Pega for spaces and tasks, using drag and drop to move many cases around quickly resulted in tasks intermittently ending up in a state where they could not be updated further and became unusable. Analysis showed that because the milliseconds part of the update time was rounded, the logic of comparing for value between 0 and 1000 failed when the comparison returned -ve value. To resolve this, the comparison has been modified to !=0 and the 'when' rule pyContinueTaskProcessing has been added as an extension along with the appropriate usage guide to restrict processing. By default, the system will consider task name, description, due date, assignee, and rank properties; if more properties are needed to evaluate, this when rule can help.

Non-template RDL time value handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
The Time value displayed on clipboard and data designer differed from the value shown on user work form when using a categorized repeating dynamic layer rendered in non-template mode with the Datetime control configured inside the RDL. This was traced to the Time string being considered as a date when using this configuration and calling the engine API, and has been resolved by ensuring this configuration will call the correct Time API instead so that the timeofday property value will be formatted correctly.

CalendarGadget updated to display events in Saudi locale
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the pxCalendar section with the locale setting ar_SA, the calendar was correctly converted to a Saudi calendar but the events which were showing in the English version of the calendar were not showing up in in the Saudi Calendar. This was caused by the CalendarGadget page not populating properly due to the localized Hijri calendar failing a datetime check that was looking for a Gregorian calendar with time in GMT format, and has been resolved by updating the when rule "pzShouldDisplayEvent " to use the proper function for the localized calendar.

Check added to pyWorkPage before context page replacement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When given an assignment configured with Save and Next buttons where the on-click of the Next button triggered FinishAssignment and the case type used Optimistic locking, the workobject lock was not acquired and an error was thrown when clicking Save and then the Next button. Investigation showed that the lock was not acquired because the pyCaseUpdateInfo page was not available in the work object under pyWorkPage. This was traced to the 'When' condition used to display the delete icon on a pulse post. This When condition needs to be evaluated on the context page (in this case, the work page), but when multiple posts are present on the WorkObject) the pyWorkPage was being replaced with a fresh copy from the DB and any updates on the current work page were lost. To resolve this, the behavior has been changed from always creating a context page to only creating the context page if one does not already exist on the Thread.

Added handling for bulleted text insert triggering audit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When a bulleted text (copied from an email or rich text ) was used in the text area property, the audit considered it as a change even when there was no change. This was tracked to the field value 'pyHistoryMemo • ChangeTrack_Add' in @baseclass which is being used to get the localized value for audit memo: the field value accepts only 2 parameters, but the inserted text area input contained the '\t' that is used for parameter translation. To resolve this, the system will call the addMemoForSecurityChangeTracking utility method to replace all \t's present in both the Current Value and Previous value with 'empty' such that no '\t' characters are available in either of the string parameters.

Fallback to Pulse notification added for empty incoming account in CallEmailAutomation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, issues were seen with the sender receiving email notifications for sent messages when alias addresses were used for incoming emails. To resolve this, a fallback mechanism to use a Pulse notification has been added in cases where an incoming email account is not found in the pyCallEmailAutomation activity.
