Added fallback handling for missing Google Maps marker value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The Google maps location position control was not showing the marker if the marker source was a Property. No issues were seen if a data page was used as the marker source. This was due to the pega.util. Dom.getElementsByName(markerPropertyHandle) being returned as null. Since the property value was not found in DOM, the latitude and longitude values were not resolved for the marker object. This has been resolved by relying on the markerPropertyValue as a fallback in case the property bound to the marker is not part of the DOM.

Access group context handling updated for Mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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.

TextMask_Encrypted rule added for use with Oracle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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.

Handling added for external Kafka authorization exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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

Corrected malformed URL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
The function used in the session timer to log off the user was not working consistently, and attempting to discard a checked-out delegated Rule did discard the rule. Both issues reported the error "HTTP Status 400 - Bad request". This was traced to a badly formed URL, and has been resolved by wrapping the URL with SafeURL_createFromURL.

Addressed intermittent Issues with OAuth2
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Issues with logging in to a node by way of the access token endpoint were related to the error "JSON web token is rejected during signature verification due to bad signature". This has been resolved by adding clock skew value to the JWT processor bean during validation.

Corrected OAuth jar version for custom Keystore rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
Attempting to create a custom JKS and Keystore rule so it could be pointed to the Pega cipher and use the encrypt and decrypt functionalities failed with an error indicating it was not a valid KMS keystore. This was traced to an issue with a jar version mismatch: upon checking the dependencies for the nimbus-oauth-sdk jar, even though version 6.18.1 was specified the system picked the 8.27 version through transitive dependencies, and the 8.27 version doesn't have the needed CommonContentTypes class. This has been resolved by reducing the version to 6.18.1 in conflicting build.gradle.

Check added to ensure Job scheduler executed only once
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
When Node A and Node B woke up at the same time to start executing the job scheduler, both were attempting to update the "now processing" node ID with their ID but only Node A succeeded. This caused Node B to generate a "lock already held" exception, then Node B would try to release the lock and update "now processing" node ID. If Node A released the lock before Node B tried to, then Node B updated the "now processing" nodeID and executed the scheduler, causing it to be run twice. This double-run has been resolved by adding a check for whether the job scheduler has been executed recently before starting it.
