Error enhancements added to Cases API
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
Enhancements have been made to error handling for the Pega cases API:1) Any error added to an activity called in case creation, for example "ValidateNew", was generating a 500 error and not being returned. This has been modified to return and display a 4XX error along with the error message. 2) 'Put' now has an extension point for validating input and adding errors, and the errors added will be returned. 3) Post for assignments now also has extension points that will fire the validation errors while calling from Rest. If set, the error will be returned by the REST service.

Handlng improved for rollback of Hfix with dependent HFixes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
Attempting to rollback an HFix with dependent HFixes resulted in a Hazelcast jar exception. Investigation showed the DL included the same jar multiple times in the dependent hotfixes, which was a result of how the DL was created via the hotfix process. In order to better handle this scenario, when there are multiples of the same entries to delete the message will be logged and the process will continue if the entry is not found in the database.

Corrected Base64Decode calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
Testing indicated that a file encoded using Base64Encode generated the error "The Operation completed successfully, but returned no content" when decoding with Base64Decode. Validating the content of the text file via a JSON validator using text formatted as JSON worked as expected. Investigation showed that extra padding characters were being appended due to calculations around CRLF characters, and this has been corrected.

Correct very large decimal number rounding error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
Rounding errors were seen in a text input field for decimal property configured to round to 2 decimal places and format with comma group separators if more than 15 digits were entered. The first time the focus moved out of the field, the rounding was correct. After clicking save, which performed a reloadSection with activity SaveAndContinue (form save), the value was rounded incorrectly. This was an issue with the ability of javascript to handle large decimal numbers as type number, and has been resolved by changing the handling to be of type string.

Handling added for identifying and passivating disconnected Requestors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
An issue was seen with restarted nodes where disconnected Requestors were not being properly passivated due to Passivation Blocker permissions persisting with a non-zero value. Requestors are passivated only if permissions are zero. To correct this, code has been added to identify and correctly reset permissions for Requestors that have not been properly decremented to zero.

QP DF issues resolved for timeouts and search re-indexing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
The re-index option was not available to manually trigger Search re-indexing. Investigation showed that this was related to a recent change used to hide the reindex button if the batch index queue processor was in progress. At the root of the issue, delayed items were not properly pushed to Kafka when they were eligible for processing if they were already queued when the QP DF was in a failed state or when the QP DF was not yet created. When restarted, the QP DF was only processing the messages on the Kafka topic from the end of the offset and missing the queued messages. To resolve this, the QP DFs have been modified to start processing the messages from the beginning of the topic. In addition, the DelayedQueueProcessorSchedule Job scheduler, which pushes items to Kafka, was not being executed due to a Hazelcast timeout exception caused by an inability to access the distributed map. Investigation showed this exception was related to a cluster split brain. To correct this, in cases where a distributed map is not accessible, the run will be rescheduled. As a result, there is now more robust handling for any timeout exceptions, all messages will be processed as expected, and the re-index button will be available when needed to manually trigger the process.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
An enhancement has been added to support specifying custom JVM arguments for Cassandra. This allows uses such as enabling GC logging for cloud deployments, or to increase the native transport queue size for read-heavy deployments.

Updated UtilsEmailListener to handle additional special characters in the email ID
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
When the Email Listener tried to map the properties from the email body and message header to the Pega Default out-of-the-box properties or user provided text properties, the mapping worked for simple alphanumeric email IDs, but mapped only the trailing part of the address if the Email ID contained an apostrophe or single quotes. For example, "toast.'[email protected]" was mapped as "[email protected]". This was due to a missed special character in the regex pattern, and UtilsEmailListener.java has been updated to correctly handle special characters in the email address as specified in RFC 5322.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
The timezone was not being appended to datetime when exporting to Excel if a custom control was used. This has been corrected.
