how Subcase checkbox behavior corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When the Show Subcase checkbox in Audit tab was unchecked, the child case history was displayed when it should not have been. This was caused by the List view not being filtered out to remove sub case data when the checkbox was invoked; to correct it the system will call LV pyWorkAttachmentList to get attachments for the parent only in the initial load, then will call another LV pyCoverAllAttachmentList to get parent and child attachments if Show Subcase is checked.

Documentation update to clarify schema names should be all lower case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When installing onto a system with a PostgreSQL database, the install script failed if the schema names had capitals in them, showing "ERROR: schema "pegadata" does not exist". This was due to the mixed case schema name being altered to all lowercase, so calls to the database fail due to the mismatch. In order to clarify the input needed, the PostgreSQL topic in the documentation has been updated to say : “Enter the schema name in all lowercase letters. PostgreSQL requires that schema names are all lowercase. Enter the schema name only in lowercase letters without quotation marks, or the deployment might not be successful.”

Back button in mobile screen flow retains entered data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When navigating to an earlier step using Back Button on ScreenFlow via Mobile App, data was lost.This was traced to a call mismatch: rather than using getElementsByName, the system was calling a function that used getElementByName. This caused an exception and resulted in the form not being properly merged with the work page, leading to data loss. To correct this, the getFormJSON method has been changed to properly use getElementsByName for this function.

Cleanup added to DDS service shutdown
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When prpcUtils is executed it starts DSM services in client mode when a DSM node (DDS) in the cluster is running. However, DSM threads do not shut down when the utility class completes, causing the Import task to hang. To prevent this, cleanup implementation has been added to the DDS service shutdown.

Logoff from all portals in a Mashup fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
The logoff command was not logging the user off from all of the mashup portals. This was due to homeurl not being stored properly in mashup use cases, and the logoff URL has been updated to correct this.

XSS protection added to TopHarness query string
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When the topHarness query string parameter was provided with a request to Pega, its contents were written to the HTML stream without HTML-encoding the content, creating a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. To improve security, the “topHarness” value will be encoded using com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.StringUtils.crossScriptingFilter API in pzClientDynamicData.

Support added for specifying single or multiple custom directories for DDS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
Previously, Pega always checked free space in a default location. This caused confusion and misleading Pega0085 alerts related to the expectation that free disk space for DDS would instead be checked in a directory specified via prconfig. The system has now been modified to check free space in one or more custom Cassandra data directories configured as comma separated strings in the following prconfig settings: dnode/cassandra_data_directory, dnode/yaml/data_file_directories. The above settings will use Disk health check. In the multiple directories setup, an alarm will be raised when the disk usage threshold is crossed on each disk. Support has also been added for backing up multiple data directories.

Assertion Type results count updated to allow input of filter class for validation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When using the assertion type result count and trying to validate a property in pxResults class, it was not possible to save the test case. This was due to the system trying to validate the class in a rule under test class and not pxResults class. To fix this, the AUT rule form has been updated to show the filter class filter class text box so that when no class is been populated the filter class can be entered to enable selecting the properties from this class inheritance.
