Corrected iosVersion handling for getDirections
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When opening the map function in the iPhone app, it first navigated to Google maps but clicking on 'get directions' opened Apple maps. This was traced to pzpega_control_actions_getDirections. When using the getMapURL function the value being assigned for iosVersion dictates the behavior: If the iosVersion is greater than 8 it opens Google maps, else Apple maps. However, an error caused the value to be sent as string instead of integer, causing the iosVersion check to fail. This has been corrected.

Handling added for JSON with top level array
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When using serialize mode in a JSON data transform where the Top element structure was Array and the “For JSON only” relation was selected for relation mode, the result had an incorrect JSON structure. In order to support this configuration, generatePropertyAsJSON has been amended to set isTopLevelPageList to true in instances where automap is off, the top level is an array, and the JSON context is updated within the first step. In addition, generatePageAsJSON has been updated to check this flag when processing mappings in order to ensure these context changes are processed, and updates have been made to generatePropertyAsJSON to ensure that the context is popped when appropriate.

SQL query performance improvement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
An SQL query was running sequential table scans with UPPER keyword while also doing an index scan without UPPER, causing performance issues. The query was used when there was a conflict of a Page property pointing to different Page in the hierarchy of class while creating a dedicated Index, and used the Upper function for a filter condition on pyClassName and pyPropertyMode. In the Database the value will be in MixedCase and the code will pass it as mixed case, so the Upper function has been removed from the query to utilize the index scan for filter condition and improve the query performance.

Kafka Disk Space auto cleanup improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
High disk space consumption was seen when using a custom QueueProcessor and standard retention policies. To resolve this, an enhancement has been added which will allow consumed QueueProcessor messages to be removed from the stream as soon as they are processed to avoid out of space issues. This will ignore partitions with undefined positions.

Resolved 400 error on second browser session
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
When accessing application URLs in two tabs of a browser window, logging into the second session was throwing a 400 invalid request. This has been resolved by adding specified activities to an allow list which will bypass URLObfuscation in un-authenticated mode. Non-listed activities will be processed using URLObfuscation if it is enabled.

Autocomplete context fetched for dropdown in nested case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
The autocomplete dropdown was empty when using SmartTip and the down arrow was clicked while opening an autocomplete case within an Interaction case. Opening the service case directly in a new tab populated the dropdown values as expected. This has been corrected by registering context changes just before the content is fetched for the overlay.

Modal dialog close for date/time works as expected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
When a date/time property was used in a modal screenflow in Google Chrome, changing the date property on the pop up calendar and then clicking the modal close caused the screen to freeze. This was caused by the plf.handleModalClose() being called a second time for a container close event that was not available in window.event. This has been resolved.

Resolved Thread deadlocks during RAP imports and MT rule loading
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When using a time-intensive large query to build a cache to hold complex property references, multiple threads on a single tenant executed this query in a sequential manner and thread locking problems were seen. To resolve this, an update has been made so that for the same tenant, only one thread will run the query. All other threads waiting to acquire the lock will not execute the same db query but will instead make use of the result fetched by the first thread. In addition, a prconfig has been added to control the loading of tenant-specific declarative rules: by default, declaratives/ignoretenantspecificdeclaratives will be set to false and all declarative rules will be loaded. When the config is enabled in a multi-tenant environment, the loading of the tenant-specific declarative rules will not happen and only the declarative rules which are shared will be loaded. In Non-MT environments, this configuration will not have any effect.

Updated retry logic for S3 AddAttachmentFromEmail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When using the AddAttachmentFromEmail activity with S3 repositories, performing an obj-save on the data-workattach-file page executes a deferred save while also saving the file into the repository. if the data was inserted into S3 successfully but encountered an issue when saving the related data-work-attach-file page, the system was trying to call the save operation again. This tried to insert the duplicate attachment again to S3, causing an error on that side of the process. To resolve this, the duplicate Obj-Save functionality in AddAttachmentFromMail Activity has been removed.

Stage Label name displayed in chart
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When pyCaseStatusControl was used, the cases label was displayed as $label instead of the Case Name. This was related to the version of Fusion Charts included, and has been resolved for this release by modifying library code in fusioncharts.js to fix the issue in datasetrollover listener code. Fusion Charts will be upgraded in v8.5 for a more complete solution to this issue.
