Paging method updated for Select All in Broken Queue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After clicking the 'Select All' box in Broken Queue In Admin Studio, scrolling up and down rapidly caused the checkboxes to be unselected. This was traced to the use of progressing paging in this scenario, and has been resolved by removing progressive paging and replacing it with the out of the box '1 of X' paging method.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After configuring a call to SauceLabs testing through Deployment manager, the REST call was timing out. Investigation traced the issue to SauceLabs changing its parameter name from "browser" to "browsername", and the Pega parameter names have now been updated to reflect that change.

Pega Org Structure Tools added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
An enhancement has been made available on Pega Marketplace to simplify working with large organizational structures with additional support for having more than 3,333 organizations. This allows choosing an Org, Div and Unit in the Operator ID and Application ruleforms using auto-completes rather than a tree, and can now handle up to 10,000 Organizations, 10,000 Divisions per organization, and 10,000 Units per Division. Installations exceeding those numbers will still be able to enter the name without validation problems, and a link to the Organization Chart landing page will be available for browsing that data in a tree.

Branch Preference now considered for TestCase rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Setting branch preference from top right worked for all rule types and new rule dialog rightly set the branch, but when attempting to use this configuration for a test case, it only displayed the first branch in the app and did not follow the branch preference. This was due to the system using a separate save modal dialog for test case creation which did not consider this use, and has been resolved by implementing the branch preferences use case to show the direct preferred branch if present.

IOException handling improved to resolve broken pipe errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Frequent "connection reset by peers" exceptions were being generated and broken-pipe exceptions were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to unhanded IOExceptions on the server side that were a result of the client application not always closing the TCP connection gracefully. To resolve this, error handling for IOExceptions has been improved.

Directory traversal blocked in zip import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
One of the files contained in a zip archive was not deleted from the system after zip import. This was due to the file being created by a third-party archive that included of a directory traversal character that caused it to be inflated outside of the temp directory. To resolve this, a check has been added to that a file with directory traversal characters in its name will not be inflated.

JDBC URL handling added for Oracle over TCPS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
While attempting to upgrade an environment over TCPS, the generateDDL.sh script was failing. The same environment ran without issue on Tomcat with the same URL. Investigation showed the JDBC url was not correctly generated while running the upgrade: in a standard scenario, there will be no spaces in the JDBC URL specified. However, because Oracle can send spaces as part of JDBC URL and cause this issue, an update has been made which will quote the JDBC URL argument for the ant target in setupDDL.xml.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
An out of memory error was traced to SearchInventoryImpl infinitely recursing over a clipboard property, where the child property referenced a parent property and resulted in an endless loop. This has been resolved with the addition of a depth check to ensure that the search does not recurse infinitely.

Handling added for hotfix Rule-Application instances
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
A null pointer error during DL file expansion performed as part of the second phase of a hotfix installation caused the hotfix install to fail. The null-pointer exception was thrown because the code, primarily used for export, performed a database lookup of a Rule-Application and assumed the response would be non-null without checking the result. During export the Rule-Application would normally exist because the system would have interacted with it already during the export by identifying it and writing it to the archive. During phased hotfix installation, rules are staged to the database in a different table during the first phase and reconstituted during the second phase. The scenario for this error was a missed corner case specific to the unusual combination of including Rule-Application instances in a platform hotfix. To resolve this and prevent further issues, handling has been added for this use case.
