Access group context handling updated for Mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After update, a new mobile application for a specific access group was not applying the correct access group for an operator with multiple access groups but instead used the default access group. This has been resolved by moving the logic responsible for switching access groups for Pega Mobile Client from the Authorization.getInitialAccessGroup class to the SessionAccessgroupInfo class to ensure Authorization/SessionAuthorization gets the information about the default access group for the current context.

Improvement for mobile display error related to harness timing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After updating from 8.1 to 8.6, working very quickly on mobile to create a case and refresh it resulted in a "Display error" screen that included the message "Failed to find instance @baseclase.pyCreate of type Rule-HTML-Harness". This was caused by the system not being initialized with the needed content and some target parameters therefore being evaluated as null. A preliminary fix for closeDocCallback when WebView is not loaded has been added which has significantly reduced the frequency of this issue. Additional work will be done towards a complete resolution in a future release.

Autocomplete field loads in offline iOS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After converting large data sets to the Large Data Page Structure, some data pages were working in the Android app but not in iOS when Offline Support was enabled. This was traced to the autocomplete field of type 'text' not loading correctly, and has been resolved.

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
