Application wizard security updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
A user having PegaRULES:User1 role only was able to run the Create Application wizard until an authorization block was reached, yet some rules were created. No operator records were created as part of this process. This was traced to code left in place after the creation of pxAppConfig and pzAppConfig portals, and has been resolved. The New Application wizard UI will display a message to a user when they lack access to build a new application, and an error will be displayed for any attempt to create a new application directly via pzCreateNewApplication to address a scenario where a user might be trying to call the activity without the front end.

Tracer issues resolved for Chrome broswer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
Tracer was running in the background even after the tracer window was closed. Attempting to run a Tracer in this condition resulted in an error indicating the Tracer was being run by another operator and should be restarted, and in the Dev environment, attempting to start a Tracer once it was closed resulted in the message "Cannot launch multiple Tracer sessions for a requestor." Investigation found that the Tracer session was not being closed when the tracer window was closed because the browser specific method intended to do so was not being called. This was found to be an issue caused by the Chrome browser changing the signature of the method, and has been resolved by updating the method name in the TraceMain HTML rule.

External Cassandra nodes listed in DDS cluster
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
Nodes of an external Cassandra cluster were not listed in the DDS cluster except for the first one in the host list, and when the “only” listed Cassandra node was restarted, the status on the DDS cluster LP did not become “NORMAL” afterwards. In addition, even though other C* nodes were up and running, the external Cassandra cluster was reported as unreachable. This was an unintended side effect of work done on the landing page to reflect the real state of the nodes after some were killed and restarted, and has been corrected by refining the equals() and hashCode() methods for DDS member info in order to better differentiate the external Cassandra nodes.

Uploaded attachments will receive a unique name to prevent overwriting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
An issue with an incorrect file being attached to a work object was traced to overlapping processes. When files are uploaded, they are first saved to common HDD directory and then read into memory and deleted from the HDD area. Files will overwrite other file carrying the same name, which is a problem if the first file is not completely uploaded and is waiting in the common directory and some other file with the same name is uploaded on top of it. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure file names are appended with a unique identifier to distinguish between files carrying the same names and keep them from overwriting each other.

Handling added for multi-file upload of duplicated files
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Attaching the same file multiple times during a single upload caused some of the duplicated files to not be included. The issue was not seen when attaching the same file multiple times but in different attempts. The exception "Can't continue with file attachment. FileData.xlsx is missing and might have been quarantined by anti-malware software" was logged. This was caused by the files being uploaded without updating filenames to have a unique ID, so multiple files with the same name were overwriting the previous file. This has been resolved by setting the appendUniqueIdToFileName parameter to true in the upload request so each copy of the filename is treated as an individual file.

JAWS announces popup error message
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When a form is submitted without giving value to required field, a browser pop up appears. The expected behavior is that the screen reader (JAWS) should move the focus to the field that has error and read the error message However, JAWS was not announcing the error "Value cannot be blank". This was traced to a scenario where if pega.u.d.fieldErrorType === "ERRORTEXT" is true, the class on the span within the error div will be set to "inputSpans", and this resulted in the return of an empty array for document.querySelectorAll("span.iconError.dynamic-icon-error"). To resolve this, support has been added for the "inputSpans" class.

Section Include error handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When trying to add or include a section in the design template mode of a section rule or during run time of the application, the error "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1" was generated. Investigation showed this was originating from the SectionIncludeForm_Post activity of the class Rule-File-Form, and was traced to a system error related to the 'if' condition which verifies the circular reference of the section being newly added. Because this was a system error and not one generated by Pega, there was no handling for it. To resolve this, the sectionincludepost activity in rule-form class has been updated to determine the source and properly handle the error messages.

GetNextWork properly switches applications for 'most urgent'
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.3
Post upgrade, the "Get most urgent" button was unable to open a service request from another application to which the operator had access. In this case, the Operator had access to the Canada and USA applications by default, but when a service request from the Canada application context was available in the list, the Get most urgent functionality failed to switch the application context from USA to Canada in order to open the work item. Investigation showed that the GetNextWork activity was being overridden in the Pega-DecisionManager ruleset in rule resolution and that the the Pega-ProcessEngine and Pega-DecisionManager had different versions of the activity. This has been resolved by upgrading GetNextWork in the Pega-DecisionManager ruleset.
