CEP bucket size increased to 1 minute
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
Frequent DSM Data Flow Errors were observed in production nodes with very high event rates. This was traced to the default bucket size for CEP being 1 second for a 31 day window, which was not sufficient to handle high volume use which may create an event strategy window large enough to hit the Cassandra column size limit. In order to resolve this, the default bucket size has been increased from 1 second to 1 minute.

Case name caption security inserted with Cross-site scripting filtering
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
In order to protect against the possibility of executing malicious JavaScript code by entering an appropriately modified name while adding new case type, pyCaption in menu items has been made HTMLSafe by converting JSON through the GSON library. An additional fix has been made to use Cross-site scripting filtering to ensure the script does not execute while page is loaded. Additional handling for Firefox has also been added to normalize tabName to properly display Recents.

Handling corrected for CSV formatted output from CDH
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After upgrade, the Output Templates with File output (.csv file extension, comma delimiter) for Customer Decision Hub did not work as expected. Creating an Output Template for use in an action flow with defined fields containing commas for output previously resulted in the individual fields containing commas being enclosed in double quotes, but the output after upgrade instead was enclosing each of the comma-delimited fields in quotes, causing an issue with the original format of the data. This has been corrected.

Corrected null values being set to 0 in GenerateExcel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The pxGenerateExcelFile activity was loading $0.00 in place of a null value for decimal columns. This has been resolved by updating the logic for GenerateExcel.java to skip double properties default value for non-existent clipboard props and extend the same fix to the integer class. Safety checks have been added before setting cell type to check if property exists, and handling has been added for a specific exception instead of generic exception for both decimal and integer use cases.

DSS added to configure outflow signature digest method algorithm
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After update, a change was seen in the digest method of a SOAP response. The site was configured to use WS-Security Profile SHA-1 as the digest algorithm, but the warning from the testing tool WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) indicated this was not being followed with the message "the algorithm 'xmlenc#sha256' is not accepted for operation 'Digest'". For better compatibility, the DSS outflowSignatureDigestAlgorithm has been added to support configuring the outflow signature digest method algorithm.

DSS added for handling missing attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When an S3 repository was configured as storage, some cases were not coming up in search and exception errors were seen in logs for a deleted attachment after every system restart/re-indexing of the search. Investigation showed these case objects were in the broken queue for pyFTSIncrementalIndexer due to a null pointer error encountered when indexing the attachment, and that the attachments were available in the repository but could not be read from the attachment repository during indexing. To resolve this, a new DSS setting has been added which allows selecting one of two behaviors: * Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = true : broken item is generated, but with a meaningful error message. This is the default behavior * Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = false: case is indexed, but without the problematic attachment. Error message is printed out to the logs.

Corrected thread cleanup logic for doUIAction in WorkCover
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When accessing a case from the worklist or opening the case from worklist and refreshing the case by pressing F5, clicking Approve resulted in a java.lang.NullPointerException error. Investigation showed that the "pyWorkCover" page that the section was running on was being removed in the top navigation portal / SDM portal as part of the thread cleanup logic in doUIAction. This has been corrected.

Handlng improved for rollback of Hfix with dependent HFixes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
Attempting to rollback an HFix with dependent HFixes resulted in a Hazelcast jar exception. Investigation showed the DL included the same jar multiple times in the dependent hotfixes, which was a result of how the DL was created via the hotfix process. In order to better handle this scenario, when there are multiples of the same entries to delete the message will be logged and the process will continue if the entry is not found in the database.

Corrected active state selector for IOS devices
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
When scrolling RDL, gray artifacts were observed which did not always disappear from the UI. This was traced to the background color being applied wrongly due to an incorrect selector for active state in the layout that resulted in the gray region being visible. To resolve this, the selector has been updated to target only non-IOS devices for active state.

Pulse delete icon repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, it was no longer possible to delete one's own comment in Pulse. This was traced to the section pzDeleteMessage having two dynamic layouts with icon as image configured. During runtime, this section was present in the DOM yet the icons were not visible when the conditions configured were returned as true. This was caused by an error in the generated java for the layout, and has been corrected.
