Adhoc case creation repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Adhoc case creation was not working. The adhoc case creation flow action uses a page called "newWorkPage" for case creation: this parameter page which is used by the pySaveAdHocCase activity in the pyCreateAdhocCase flow action has a naming conflict with page name in activity pzShowConflicts, resulting in the system removing both the pages in step 11 of pzShowConflicts activity. To resolve this, the page created and used in pzShowConflicts has been renamed from newWorkPage to showConflictsWorkPage.

Legacy hardcoded WorkPage removed from ReassignAssignment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When there was a child case Task available, attempting to transfer the case caused the system to update the Parent case .pxFlow(CreateTask) instead of the Task case .pxFlow(CreateTask). This was traced to the pyReassignAssignment activity having a legacy hardcoded page pyWorkPage defined, and this hardcoded page has been removed to resolve this issue.

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
