BAC updated for delegated circumstanced decision table rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
An unregistered request error was encountered while launching the DelegatedRulesPage harness when pyBlockUnregisteredRequests >=1. This was traced to a delegated circumstanced decision table rule which caused a request error for the @baseclass.pzLookupCircumList activity, and has been resolved by updating the BAC handling for this activity.

Empty check added to OpenRuleAdvanced
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A blank screen was displayed when attempting to open a requirement set rule in Dev Studio. This was a missed use case while updating the OpenRuleAdvanced control to handle BAC compatibility, and has been resolved by adding an empty check in addition to the existing null check along with an 'if' condition to check for pyActivity input.

Improved browser compatibility for ContentDisposition header
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When files were downloaded from a Sharepoint repository by clicking on the link, the filename was appended by a unique case instance ID or a sequence number to avoid duplicates. This caused a workflow disruption due to the reupload considering the file to be new rather than updated. This was traced to an issue with the usage of the ContentDisposition header which should have set the default file name: as created, the method was not compatible with Google Chrome on Microsoft Windows and was ignored. This has been corrected by updating the ContentDisposition header to set the default file name correctly when using supported browsers.

isRulesetLocked updated for efficiency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When trying to access some access roles, the error "The number of database bytes input for this interaction has exceeded the ERROR level for Requestor" was generated. Investigation showed there were many read-BLOB events being triggered by the when rule pzRuleInLockedRuleSet. To address this, isrulesetlocked has been modified to not open every version of a ruleset, but instead perform a simple count and check if the ruleset exists.

Rule updated to "Refactor Copy Move Merge"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After a job scheduler was configured to run at Start time = 21:00:00 for Time zone = Europe/London, the scheduler determined 20:00:00 as the next start time. This was due to the calculation for the next start time using the time zone offset calculation pattern for the date and time stored in System-Runtime-Context.pxCreateDateTime, which had difficulty with changes to the time zone definition implemented in the time between the given date and today (meaning the current time) such as daylight savings time. To resolve this, the default reference time from System Runtime Context will be 'now' instead of Date(0).

TextMask_Encrypted rule added for use with Oracle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When a property was being encrypted by propertyEncrypt access control policy and masked by propertyRead access control policy, it showed a "@@getMaskedValueOfText" error. This has been resolved with the addition of a new rule pxTextMask_Encrypted for Oracle product type which will remove extra spaces from the SOURCE string to handle ORACLE specific usecases.

DSS DisableAutoComplete setting honored
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Setting DisableAutoComplete DSS was not working as expected. This was traced to the system not being able to read the DSS value due to timing related to database startup, and has been resolved by directing the system to read the setting in PREnvironment.java instead of from the prconfig.

Handling added for external Kafka authorization exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When using external Kafka for stream service, the dataflow was failing with the error 'QueueProcessorDataSubscriberException' when topic create permission was missing. As a workaround, the topics could be pre-created, though a "Topic already exists" warning was generated. To resolve this, the cluster-wide right that a producer needs, IdempotentWrite, has been added. For more information please refer to the link https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka/authorization.html
