Email Discussion Thread retains Formatting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
CSS styles were not being retained in the discussion thread when replying to InboundCorrespondence cases. This was traced to a missing value in Param.latestReply activity pzCreateExternalPostFromMail, and has been resolved by setting an initial plain text value to the param.latestReply before it is set with the HTML value. This prevents having a blank parameter value if the incoming HTML value is empty.

ChatMashup loading issue with IDP resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When using a harness containing chat scripts via Mashup that called an activity to set parameters, attempting to launch the Mashup from an external application failed on the first attempt: an incorrect URL was generated and the activity was not triggered, resulting in an empty harness. The second attempt to launch the Mashup worked as expected. This was seen when using an IDP initiated Login with query string - pyActivity= classname.ActivityName, and there was a workaround to use SP initiated login or to use the activity URL directly on the IDP portal. Investigation showed that the resourcePath was coming as http in SSL enabled system, but the reqURI was still https. To correct this, the system has been updated so that if the reqContextURI starts with https and the requestURL starts with http, then the requestURL will be converted to https.

Uploaded attachments will receive a unique name to prevent overwriting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
An issue with an incorrect file being attached to a work object was traced to overlapping processes. When files are uploaded, they are first saved to common HDD directory and then read into memory and deleted from the HDD area. Files will overwrite other file carrying the same name, which is a problem if the first file is not completely uploaded and is waiting in the common directory and some other file with the same name is uploaded on top of it. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure file names are appended with a unique identifier to distinguish between files carrying the same names and keep them from overwriting each other.

Verbose debug logging removed from LockUtils
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Verbose debug logging that had been added to the "LockUtils" class to print when the lock was acquired or released and include the associated stacktrace has now been removed as it interfered with diagnosing locking issues when threads were getting blocked.

Corrected requestor status flag for direct map
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Numerous "Unable to create requestor" alerts were logged. This was traced to an error in HttpAPI where after retrieving the requestor from the internal requestor map directly, the requestor creation status flag was not set properly. This caused last action to post that alert instead of the correct notice of "existing requestor retrieved". This has been resolved so the flag reflects the correct status.

Improved performance for "Show-HTML" in a grid with numerous controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
‘Show-HTML’ was taking an excessive amount of time to render a UI for grid with a large number of controls. This was traced to the handling for generating and clearing markup creating an exponential growth situation, and has been resolved by modifying the system to remove redundant copies of a string in the markup string buffer.

Code fragment removed to resolve CookieDisabledException
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, a CookieDisabledException occurred after a post activity was invoked in the single sign-on (SSO) authentication service. This was traced to the site using the deprecated flag "redirectguests" as part of SSO-based login for mashup usecases. This flag was used to check if a cookiedisabled exception was thrown or not, and if there was no cookie, if a requestor was authenticated in first request. However, the flag has been removed as part of work done to omit the Cookie support check on Mobile App UAs. Code that supported the use of this flag remained after that work and led to the exception being generated, but has now been removed as well.

JMS Listener modified to ensure connections are closed after encountering an exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
JMS listener logs were detailing exceptConnection leaks with the message " J000100: Closing a connection for you. Please close them yourself". Investigation showed that when the JMSListener is configured for JBOSS, it goes via EngineImpl. However, connections opened during engineimpl.ivokeEngine were prevented from closing if they encountered an exception. To resolve this, the execution of the connection close command has been moved to the finally block.
