Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring SSO to create operators on fly using a model operator, a new user logging in for the very first time had their operator ID created using the model operator, but after upgrade new users logging in to the system received the error "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS LOOKUPLIST". This was due to the methods used for additional security on the activity @baseclass LookUpList which allows it to only be run by authenticated users, and has been resolved.

Added deferred loading for email cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When there were a significant number of email interactions on an email case, delays were seen when loading the case in the UI. Investigation traced this to a high number of database calls along with the BLOBs also being open. To improve performance, the new rule pyDeferLoadEmails has been added which toggles the UI and loads emails faster. In addition, the button label has been modified to read "View all emails" in place of "Show all" while defer load is enabled.

GetAllEmailWork temp page renamed to avoid conflict
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The default Email manager portal was not displaying new email triage cases. Investigation showed that because the GetAllEmailWork and CaseBreadCrumbPopulate activities were using a common name for the clipboard page "TempPage", when CaseBreadCrumbPopulate removed the TempPage clipboard page as one of its steps a null pointer exception occurred for GetAllEmailWork. To resolve this, an update has been made to rename "TempPage" to "TempPageET" for GetAllEmailWork so the names will not conflict.

Handling updated for social messaging items with very large embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Job scheduler was running out of memory while handling large/multiple files, causing nodes to crash while handling Social Messaging items. Inline images were also not being sent in the ACK email. Investigation traced this to a custom job scheduler and activity used to create PDFs from email communication and send the PDFs to a third-party system. This used the standard Email Triage/PegaSocial functionality for the emails, which were stored as instances of PegaSocial-Message. The custom Job scheduler and activity then leveraged the Data Page D_pxEmailPosts to retrieve the emails in order to harvest the text from the emails. The issue occurred when a number of the emails had multiple or large embedded images in them, meaning the PegaSocial-Message instances are very large. This resulted in the node running out of memory and crashing. To resolve this, code has been added to support inline images in ACK email and the complete message from Pulse will be used instead of the original message as the email body for the ACK email.

Corrected intelligent routing in email channel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Intelligent language-based routing in the email bot channel was not working as expected when given a condition to direct messages to a different operator based on language. Messages were placed in the Inbound Correspondence work basket instead. This was traced to the getRoutingActions API using the incorrect property from .pxAnalysis, and has been resolved.

Updated URL construction for inline images for better performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
System slowness was seen, and inline images were not getting displayed when the case was opened. This has been resolved by modifying pyExtractHtmlFromAttachment to ensure the image source URL is built in a consistent way whether or not there is a cache to call from.

HTML attachments conditionally shown in email listener cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When Rich text/html (non-plain text) emails were ingested in email, the original mail was not getting added to the case. Investigation showed that the pzCreateTriageWork activity had an explicit delete step to remove any attachment that started with 'email-content'. Since the HTML attachment name starts with 'email-content', it was deleted in above activity. This has been resolved by adding a when rule named 'pyLinkEmailTriageContentHTML' which will conditionally show email-content.html.
