Repeating Dynamic Layout can use source for base in Microsoft Internet Explorer

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

When using Microsoft Internet Explorer, repeating dynamic layouts were only taking Data- as the base and could not be configured to add a source. Dragging and dropping a section did not provide the source either. oSectionBody, which is a DOM element, is sent to redrawSectionFieldSetCaptionInfo as a parameter. In Microsoft Internet Explorer this element is removed from the DOM and hence has no parentElement. This is the reason that the call to redrawSectionFieldSetCaptionInfo was failing. To resolve this, a check has been added to see if the oSectionBody is in the DOM by using the check oSectionBody.parentElement at the start of redrawSectionFieldSetCaptionInfo.

Added security check when running out-of-the-box reports with ShowSelectorView

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

A security issue was found where non-authorized users were able to access the out-of-the-box report details in their portal by manipulating the URL to pass a "short-cut" parameter that executed the Final "ShowSelectorView" activity. To avoid the need to set the explicit privileges manually, the ShowSelectorView activity will call a security check to prevent this.

Interface changes made to avoid unexpected workitem deletions when removing stale locks

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1

Attempting to delete lock instances of work objects by directly opening the lock item found through navigating to (Dev Studio) App > Classes > System-Locks actually resulted in deleting the work item instead of just the lock. This was due to System-Locks being uniquely identified by the WorkItem that they belong to rather than having their own specific key. This meant that clicking on one of the instances caused the system to respond by presenting a "default RuleFormLayout section" which included a delete button keyed to the actual workitem, but this was not made explicitly clear in the interface. In order to prevent unexpected item deletions, the table has been replaced with a link to the proper System-Lock interface, specifically the "My Locks" window.

Silverlight MSI file rebuilt without registry keys for bulk installation use

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

MS Word Compatibility for 2016 Office 365 was generating messages like "Error in updating the Registry Key of (AllowLaunchOfElevatedTrustApps): Object reference not set to an instance of an object." This was due to a newly-added registry keys inclusion feature on Silverlight prerequisites that not supported for installing multiple systems. To address this, the Silverlight prerequisites MSI file has been re-built without the inclusion of registry keys

Flag set for using defer load context switching with Microsoft Internet Explorer

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1

Defer load section was not working as expected due to Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 not maintaining the context of the section during busyIndicator hide. To avoid this, a flag 'pega.ctxmgr.skipContextSwitching' will be set during the hide of busy indicator if Microsoft Internet Explorer is used, and the harness switching context will then be decided based on this flag.

Pega fetch assignments API updated to call py functions for Robot Manager use

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

The Pega API assignment activity pzGetAssignmentDetailsInternal in ruleset Pega-API:07-10-31 makes a call on line 16 to pzNotifyRobotWorkBasketContainer. This is a platform defect that should have been replaced with pyNotifyRobotWorkBasketContainer. pyNotifyRobotWorkBasketContainer is an extension point activity that is blank in the core platform, but overridden when the Robot Manager app layer is added to the stack. The correct py calls are now present.

Activities updated to use class name to access out-of-the-box templates

Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1

The out-of-the-box templates were not visible in the implementation layer due to the shipped templates having been created in a horizontal layer tied to a horizontal class. To correct this, the pzGetAllMappedFieldsFromTemplate and pzSetInitialSourceInfo activities have been updated to allow for loading mapping data by getting a selected template class name before calling the load template data page.

Logic updated for DX API retrieving View/Action ID using embedded property

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7

While calling the DX API using Assignment ID and action ID, a 500 error response was logged indicating that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. Investigation traced this to the logic used for resolving an embedded property referenced in a control/field to identify the correct page class. In a non-work object context for flow actions the new assign page doesn't exist, but the system was checking for it and clearing off errors from the named page. This has been corrected.

Timeout check added to authorization to preserve portal context

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7

When using SAML SSO Authentication Service with "Use access group timeout" and "Redirect to IDP login after logout" selected and "Force authentication" not selected, manually logging out correctly returned the view to the custom SSO login page but the timeout logout returned the default Pega login page as if SSO was not in use. Analysis showed there was a "Failed to open portal" error after doing some action post timeout, and this was traced to pyPortal page not having a value. Investigation showed this was blank due to the creation of new thread while the requestor state was perceived as unauthenticated because of the timeout. To resolve this, a timeout check has been added to the following: Authorization#setActiveAccessGroup(java.lang.String, boolean, boolean, java.util.Map) BasicApplicationContextImmutableImpl#applyApplicationProperties
