Resolved Issues

Repository Delete API updated for better use with cloud storage

Previously, the Repository Delete API immediately checked if a file existed after attempting to delete it. When deleting files in S3, the file may not be immediately removed: due to S3's eventual consistency policy, the file could still exist at the time Pega was attempting to verify the deletion but be "deleted" according to Amazon. This caused a false alert that the file deletion was unsuccessful, leading to alert emails being sent and the Manifest file not being created, and in some cases generating an exception. To resolve this issue, the logic in Repository Delete that checked if file existed after attempting to delete it has been removed.

Added when check for Strategy and Event Strategy to preserve pagelist property

When editing a test case that has been built from a strategy, clicking on the 'add properties' link in the side panel was not working. This was traced to the strategy rule being loaded each time while the data page is only loaded once per session, and has been resolved by adding a 'when' condition to the Strategy and Event Strategy rule that will check for the existence of an embedded page before the pagelist property which displays results is removed.

JavaILCompiler updated to skip a type convert when generating code for a ternary operation

A compilation error was generated when attempting to save a Data Transform with a java expression giving the ternary as boolean. In this case, the pyWorkPage.Channel was set to  @java("tools.findPage(\"TempInputAccelPage\").getProperty(\"Channel\").getMessageCount()>0") ? "" : pyWorkPage.Channel.

The system previously used EL code generation, which had a gap which allowed such expression to work. Since the system now uses IL code generation, this expression failed. In order to ensure backwards compatibility, logic has been added to  JavaILCompiler to skip a type convert when generating code for a ternary operation where the source is ILProgramText (java expression).

Interaction History properly saved when running strategy on a different data flow

Customized Interaction History properties that had been added to pyInteractionHistoryConfiguration and pyDefaultWorkingSet and saved into the PR_DATA_IH_FACT table were not being saved properly after upgrading from 7.3 to 8.3. This was a missed use case and has been resolved.

UIKit 12 updated to ensure data pages are cleared when switching applications

When using UIKit 12, switching applications without logging off resulted in the 'Recent reports' list and Public Category containing reports and folders that belonged to the previous application. Investigation showed that the pyCMReportBrowserHeader function in UIKit 12 did not include the custom control "pzRBIncludes7", which clears the data pages. This has now been added to ensure that report browser data pages are now automatically cleared on app switch.

Data-Summary reports default will not use the rule resolved setting

An intermittent issue was seen where a query could become stuck for ~2 hours in the database. This has been resolved by setting the default for Data-Summary reports to not use the rule resolved setting.

Enhancements added for very heavy use of strategy decision logic

Recent updates were made to improve memory performance for scenarios where a single request primary page had tens of thousands of pages under an embedded pagelist property and the decision logic involved a strategy running on all the pages in that page list. To further improve performance, the array iterator has been modified and a DSS has been added that makes the threshold (50) in SSAExecutionContextIteratorFactory tunable.

Page group use added to referenced properties context for RDL

After upgrade, a stack mismatch error was generated by a previously-working configuration that used a nested RDL with a section under Work- class that itself contained an RDL with Data- property that then included a section from Data -- class which contained another RDL that referred to the Work- Page Group. This error was caused by the use case of page group being missed during implementation of referenced properties in ContextProcessor processListNode, which has now been resolved.

RecordsEditor Section- Parameters for HideDelete and HideAdd held on clipboard for use

On initial load of a RecordsEditor section, the delete and add options were properly hidden from the user. After using any sort option on any column, the parameters were not persisted and the delete and add icons became visible. To resolve this, the implementation has been updated so that the pyHideDelete and pyHideAdd parameters will be read from myParamPage on the initial load and saved on a clipboard page for use.

Logic updated to resolve Strategy Parser error using dateTimeToBigDecimal

After upgrade, a Strategy run was failing with a SemanticAnalysisException error indicating "Type Mismatch in node 'ILTernaryOperation': False branch does not equal return type (DECIMAL ==> DATETIME)". Upon investigation, the issue was traced to a property set component with an expression using the "DateTime•dateTimeToBigDecimal Pega-RULES:08-01-01" function. To resolve this, the logic has been modified to set the return type of ternary node from the Java type, and to check that True and False branches match this return type as well.
