Job Scheduler explicitly unlocked after nodes restart
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
If a job scheduler was in running state and the utility nodes were restarted, the background processing nodes were not coming up and resuming as expected and PersistentJobCleanupFactory:PresentMembersJobCleanup was throwing a stale execution exception. Investigation showed locks were not being removed from the database for the job scheduler when the restart was performed (noted in pegadata.pr_sys_locks table), preventing further runs. This has been resolved by adding an explicit lock removal process for this condition.

DoClose updated to resolve lock and context issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
An interaction case was closing when intent tasks were closed from CSRecents. Investigation showed this was due to the doClose activity not being triggered in the right context, and has been resolved. An additional issue with locks not being correctly released after opening the new case Create stage and clicking Cancel in the modal was traced to a missing pyWorkPage in the safeURL params that was needed by the doClose activity, and this has been resolved by adding the primary page name.

Modified handling for updating SLA on Bulk Agent items
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
While transferring SLA-configured assignments to the work basket using the Bulk Agent in background processing, the assignment handle of the SLA item was not getting updated to the work basket assignment handle. The error "duplicate key value violates unique constraint" was logged. This was due to the system not being able to dequeue the SLA item while it was locked by the Queue Manager as part of the background bulk processing, preventing the assignment handle from being updated on the SLA item. To resolve this, the system will perform a direct database open of the SLA item so the assignment handle is updated.

View Full History will not include private edits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
After upgrade, clicking 'View Full History' and then 'History of All Versions', showed the history of discarded private edits of other users. This was an inadvertent side effect of work done to improve the support for rollback and migration, and has been resolved by updating the system to not save the history when in a personal ruleset (checkouts/private edits). The help documentation has also been updated to note there is no history available for checkouts/private edits.

Handling updated for custom flow bulk actions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
If the first assignment in a bulk queue failed validation of the flow action, the other selected assignments with same validations also failed without going to queue. This occurred when custom flow actions were configured on the standard bulk processing section, and caused the incorrect email template to be sent. To resolve this, Activity ProcessMultipleAssignments has been modified to add jump conditions to address the errors in PerformFlowAction and handle exception scenarios and ensure the proper template is sent.

Null check added for blank CSS style
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After a case was created from email, opening the case did not display the email body. This was traced to the styles found in the content of the email body, specifically to a style starting with ":root" that was causing the issue. In pyGetHTMLMessage, the email processing does not happen if the CSS selector is blank, which happened due to a null check not being performed when changing the internal CSS styles to inline CSS styles. To resolve this a null check has been added on the selector.

Discard button works consistently
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After check out, the discard button was not working consistently for decision tables or MapValue. Investigation showed this occurred when an exported file was being downloaded in the same window, as the thread would be busy with the file and not able to perform the discard action on the window. To resolve this, the configuration for the download on the same window has been removed, exportToDecisionTable has been modified to handle an iframe, and a runScript action has been added to register the exportToExcel activity and download in iframe.

Improved accessibility for overflow menu tab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a tabbled layout group has more tabs than will fit horizontally on the screen, icons appear to the left and right of the visible tabs to scroll through the available tabs along with a drop down list to select from all available tabs. Running the accessibility tool generated an error message for the down arrow button on the right. This was traced to a set tabindex 0 for unfocusable items, and has been resolved by adding tabindex="-1" for the overflow menu.

Ensure field level server side validation messages cleared
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A validation message was retained when not required. This was traced to a scenario where there were two server side validation messages on the decimal field in addition to a required client side validation condition; on text change of the decimal field, the server side validation persisted and client side validation replaced only the first message. This has been resolved with an update which will remove field level server side validation messages after client side validation on an event trigger.

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After a job scheduler was configured to run at Start time = 21:00:00 for Time zone = Europe/London, the scheduler determined 20:00:00 as the next start time. This was due to the calculation for the next start time using the time zone offset calculation pattern for the date and time stored in System-Runtime-Context.pxCreateDateTime, which had difficulty with changes to the time zone definition implemented in the time between the given date and today (meaning the current time) such as daylight savings time. To resolve this, the default reference time from System Runtime Context will be 'now' instead of Date(0).
