Read operations updated for Datastax 3.1.x use
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
In the 3.1.x Datastax driver reads are no longer retried by default. Therefore, the read operations have now been explicitly marked as idempotent to force the Datastax driver to retry timed out reads.

Timeout error resolved for write future
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
With retries enabled, the write future was timing out before retries could be completed. This has been fixed by removing the timeout on the write future since timeouts will be caught using Datastax driver exceptions.

Facebook connector refined to handle page deletion while the AADrivetech is active
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
A Facebook connector trying to connect to a invalid page was causing out of memory errors. In this scenario, a Facebook Page that was no longer required was deleted but the AADrivetech Facebook connector was left running. This connector, in its attempts to contact the Facebook page and retrieve the getFrom parameter which was now null, started to consume resources on the node leading to the outage. To solve this, the code has been modified to not expect the user name to always come from Facebook but instead put in an anonymous name if the page disappears.

Backwards compatibility enhancement for @when() validation
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After upgrade, a Strategy rule which referred a 'when' with the syntax @when(isOnlineApplication) was failing with design time validation saying that when rule was not found in the SR and instead it had to find it in the Customer/Applies to class. For the @when() issue, the root cause was that the validation context of @when() was switched from Applies-To class to the Step Page class due to a change in the core engine. The behavior of expression parsing for when rule calls was changed in release 7.2. It used to take the Apply-to class to validate the existence of the rule, but not it is taking the Step Page class. And Strategy rule doesn't push/pop stackframe due to performance reasons, thus StepPage on stack for Strategy is always the same as Primary page. For greater compatibility, the system will set the PageContextClass to the Apply To class so the expression parser can validate the setup which is expected at run-time.

null-pointer exception fixed for missing rule class
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
After upgrade, a null-pointer exception was generated when the class on which a rule was defined no longer existed and there was a withdrawn rule in the hierarchy. This has been fixed.

Re-indexing modified with check for FTS reinitialization
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
Using the Designer Studio 'Search Landing Page' to initiate a re-index of approximately 12 million work items never seemed to complete. This was traced to an unnecessary reinitialization call; the API used to reconfigure the Search node (initialized from the FullTextIndexer command line utility) uses the configure node API to remove the index directory information on the index node. This API has logic to reinitializeFTS because it is the expected behavior in normal scenarios. However, in cases using the full text indexer command line utility, we do not need to reinitalize the FTS instance as the node is a standalone node. This has been updated.

Pega0001 alert honors parameter page inclusion setting
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
The setting was not being properly honored, causing sensitive information to be available in the ALERT logs. This has been revised so the system will honor the above setting and if it is set to false, the parameter page will be disabled in the alert lines.

Change tracking added for emptied properties for BLOBs
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
In a configuration where Property value was set from the output of a Decision Table which was called on Declare Onchange Frequently, a properly later set to null was only updated in the exposed property. This caused BLOB inconsistencies. To correct this, change tracking has been implemented for emptied properties.

Corrected datasource used to update pr_extract_time
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
If the "use last updated time as start" filter was used for a class which mapped to a table in an external database, a database permission error was thrown when trying to access the pr_log table in the PegaRULES database. This has been corrected by updating pr_extract_time using the connection from Pega-Extract-Time instead of the extract class.

Carriage returns stripped from ExtractIdentifier value
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
If the pzInskey value in the extract rule xml file had extra carriage returns, the pxExtractIdentifier was generated with extra carriage returns in the value. Downstream processing was failing because of these extra carriage returns. To correct this, all carriage returns will be stripped from the pxExtractIdentifier value.
