Case Dependency corrected for different access groups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Creating a queue item as part of the case dependency was not working as expected when the access groups of the dependent cases were different. Investigation showed that in this scenario, the logic was looping differently and the DependencyList page in pxCheckFlowDependencies was getting removed. To resolve this, the DependencyList page has been moved so it is processed inside the DependencyList.pxResults loop.

Code updated for bulk actions buttons
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
After upgrade, hovering over the "Filter case" button in pzBullkUpdate and the "Create" and "Clear" buttons in pzBulkAddActions caused them to disappear. The warning "This button generates markup that was used to support the older browsers. It is recommended that you update it to the newer markup" was shown, and an update code button appeared. Some custom rules exhibited the same behavior initially, but worked as expected after updating the code and saving them. This has been resolved by updating the buttons in pzBulkUpdate and pzAddBulkActions with the latest UI technologies used for button control codes.

Updated timestamp handling for duplicate key issue with PyCompleteAutomation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Occasionally a robot failed to complete a case due to a duplicate key exception. This was an issue with the History record creation due to duplicate key erlated to the timestamp, and has been resolved by updating the timestamp handling so that the REST API will use 'getCurrentTimeStampUnique' and for other cases 'pxGetCurrentTimeStampThreadUnique' will be used.

Check added for WorkParty property to catch changes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
After configuring a send email shape to send email to work parties, proceeding through the flow without work parties and then triggering the send email shape and creating the Fix correspondence assignment worked as expected. If the work party details were later updated and the send email shape was triggered again for the Fix correspondence assignment, the error message "No role defined to work object" appeared. This was an issue with the handling of the email flow the second time through: PyCorrPage.pyCorrPartyRole did not have the work object party details which were added to the work object after the fix correspondence assignment was created, and SendSimpleEmail was not designed to handle the email that needs to be retried during the FixCorrespondence flow call. To resolve this, the system will check whether the pyWorkParty property exists prior to calling the PartyCorrPreferences HTML rule.

Updated upgrade handling for migrating work objects
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
After upgrading from Pega 6.2 to 8.3, the work migrated work objects were missing SLAs due to missed entries in the assignment tables (PC_ASSIGN_WORKLIST/ PC_ASSIGN_WORKBASKET) . The SLA was firing, but the processing failed due to the fact the runtime could not resolve a 'AddHistoryPage' library function. In this case, multiple upgrades of the application dating back to Pega 4 resulted in the runtime context containing older ruleset versions in higher ruleset versions, hiding the underlying Pega 8 version of the rule. For releases prior to Pega 7.3, Rule-Application was stored in pr4_rule and will be migrated to pr4_rule_application during upgrades. However, since Context Upgrade is run before Optimize Newly Exposed Columns, the pyDependsOnName won't always be populated. To resolve this, the system will filter based on the value in the blob rather than the exposed column so there will be a value regardless of the upgrade-from version.

Configuration added for extending queue processor timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
Alerts for queue processor (QP) items which took more than 15 minutes to run could result in the system marking the node as 'unhealthy'. In environments with Pega Health Check enabled, this would shut down the node gracefully. It was not possible to change this default as it was hardcoded. In order to support systems that may have custom processes that run beyond 15 minutes, a a new setting has been exposed that allows configuration of the interval after which a node with long-running queue processor is marked as unhealthy and is restarted. By default this remains 900000 milliseconds / 900 seconds / 15 minutes, but it may be adjusted up to 24 hours to avoid premature node shutdown. The stale thread detection mechanism will take that setting into account and use the provided value or default to 15 minutes if the value was not provided. In addition, the threshold's units in the UI have been changed from ms to seconds.

Elapsed time in Work History Table includes sub-flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
Elapsed times were not captured when an assignment was in a wait shape followed by a utility which set a ticket and moved the assignment to a sub-flow. Investigation showed that when flow execution is in a sub-flow and a ticket is raised, the assignment in sub-flow was removed but audit history was not captured. To handle this scenario, the functions pzCleanSplitForTicket and pzRemoveFlowForTicket have been added, and FlowMethodBody FUA has been modified to include pzCleanSplitForTicket instead of CleanSplit.

Email attachments properly displayed in mobile browsers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
When attempting to use any mobile browser to open the email attachment of a work object, a blank HTML page appeared before the email attachment was shown. The blank page did not appear if the mobile browser was set to use "Desktop mode" or "PC mode". This has been resolved by updating the BAC registration method so that correspondence attachments are properly opened in all mobile browsers and HC apps for all channel types. An additional issue of a blank window appearing on IOS devices that was caused by correspondence attachments opening in a new window instead of opening in the current window has also been corrected.

Modified handling for updating SLA on Bulk Agent items
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
While transferring SLA-configured assignments to the work basket using the Bulk Agent in background processing, the assignment handle of the SLA item was not getting updated to the work basket assignment handle. The error "duplicate key value violates unique constraint" was logged. This was due to the system not being able to dequeue the SLA item while it was locked by the Queue Manager as part of the background bulk processing, preventing the assignment handle from being updated on the SLA item. To resolve this, the system will perform a direct database open of the SLA item so the assignment handle is updated.

Bulk actions filtering works in Spanish locale
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
Filtering by only case type did not return any results when using the Bulk Transfer functionality with the Spanish locale. Investigation showed that the filter value case type had a field value set, but the localized value was not being checked in the pzPostFilterOperation in step 1 'when' condition. This has been resolved.
