Application wizard security updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
A user having PegaRULES:User1 role only was able to run the Create Application wizard until an authorization block was reached, yet some rules were created. No operator records were created as part of this process. This was traced to code left in place after the creation of pxAppConfig and pzAppConfig portals, and has been resolved. The New Application wizard UI will display a message to a user when they lack access to build a new application, and an error will be displayed for any attempt to create a new application directly via pzCreateNewApplication to address a scenario where a user might be trying to call the activity without the front end.

Adjusted validation of literal value of a parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When mapping a parameterized when rule to the proposition filter, parameters passed from the proposition filter page were not getting flown to the when rule. This was caused by special character validation for a literal value of a parameter which necessitated putting the parameter value within quotes and which resulted in a parameter value mismatch at run time. To support this use, this validation has been disabled as parameter values would not get included within quotes. This change does not have any impact on when rule or proposition filter rules java generation.

OpenRule logic updated for GetRuleInfo
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
The exception "InsufficientPrivileges:RuleExecutionDenied RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS PZGETRULEINFO" was thrown for some access groups when attempting to view a section from the end-user perspective on the Opportunity screen. Investigation showed this happened when a section had a table in which "Optimize code" was unchecked. If "Optimize code" was checked, then the exception was not thrown. This was traced to recent security changes in pzGetRuleInfo which affected the BAC registration process, and has been resolved by updating the way the openRule action registration logic invokes the activity.

Formulas corrected for GenerateExcelFile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, using pxGenerateExcelFile to generate an Excel file resulted in some formulas and values not displaying. This scenario used an Excel template with two tabs - one showing direct page values and the second displaying the calculated values of first sheet. In the exported file, the formula was not getting evaluated unless and until the cell was activated with the enter key. This is a known limitation, and a temporary solution has been made here to add parameters that force the formula evaluations on the saved Excel document when editing is turned on. A more complete solution will be included in the next patch release.

Resolved importing PublicFormat file using RuleFromFile Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When attempting to create a flow from a Public Format XML file using the Rule From File Wizard, the following error was seen: "Problem invoking function: pega_procom_harvest.performXSLT--(String,String,boolean,HashStringMap)". This was caused by a mapping failure related to the pyComments property in baseclass pega social functionality, and has been resolved with the addition of a new page group property pyComments of type "Data-MO-Annotation-Comment" which applies to "Embed-Rule-Obj-Flow-ProcessModel".

Escalation updated to ensure assignee is notified of missed deadline
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
The Passed Deadline SLA Actions to send email to the owner were not triggered as configured in SLA rule form. To correct that, pzMapEasyEscalationParams steps 3.4.10 and 3.4.11 have been modified to support "NotifyAssignee" for the passed deadline.

Corrected error when persisting temporary work object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When persisting a temporary work object using the Persist case shape, the internal assignment handle was not updated to include the work object's ID. Subsequent attempts to access the internal assignment (such as the "Edit" button on the Review Harness) resulted in errors. Investigation showed that when a temporary case was persisted, pyInternalAssignmentHandle was not getting recalculated after pzInsKey was updated. To resolve this, the configuration on the edit button has been modified to use .pxFlow(pzInternalCaseFlow).pxAssignmentKey which is what pyInternalAssignmentHandle declare expression was also returning.

Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Comments explicitly excluded from generated ruleset under localization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
A generated URL link from Correspondence Fragment (WorkLink) which was saved in Pega-ProCom_ja was incorrect due to an incomplete URL. The ruleset Pega-ProCom_ja is not provided from the platform, but is generated when using localization. In this case, a comment fragment was included in the rule when it was generated, causing the issue. To resolve this, comment handling has been updated to ensure it's not included when generating the rule.

Upcase case shape will fall back to pyWorkCover if multiple pages are present
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
In the Update a Case shape, selecting "A Single Case" and providing .pxCoveredInsKeys(1) for the With ID field worked as expected, but using the same data transform and selecting either "All child cases and descendants" or a specific child case resulted in no update on the children. This was traced to the findPageByHandle API not returning the most appropriate page, which created an issue whenever multiple pages were present in the clipboard. To correct this, the system has been updated to use pyWorkCover if present.
