SAML data pages restored after passivation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
If login used SAML SSO, resuming the session after passivation resulted in missing or empty data pages when using an SAP integration with Pega Cloud. This was traced to a security change that modified the D_SAMLAssertionDataPage and D_SamlSsoLoginInfo data pages as read-only, causing them to not be passivated under these conditions. To resolve this, the data pages have been made editable so they will be restored as expected. This change also resolves any difficulty with SAML logoff activities in conjunction with SAP and Pega Cloud.

Added timeout handling for non-PRAuth servlets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After logging in via external authentication service (SAML Single Sign On) and setting up a timeout in the access group RuleForm, when the user performed any action and the server identified the request to be timed-out, it was expected that a SAML request would be sent from the browser to the external Authentication Server (referred as IDP) and the flow would proceed from there. This worked as expected for a non-AJAX request. To resolve this, handling has been added for timeout when using non-PRAuth authentication services.

prproductmigration build.gradle updated for new mime4j asset name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
While running the getMigrationLog for ProductMigration script provided in the Pega 8.2.2 media files, errors appeared referencing "NoClassDefFoundErrors when running getLogs". This was caused by the referenced class not being found on the classpath: the version of the included jar did not include the class needed due to Praxiom's default version being updated to use a new version of mime4j that required an asset name change. To resolve this, the mime4j asset name in prproductmigration build.gradle has been updated to pick up the correct version of the dependency for Praxiom.

Mashup URLs will include thread name for better passivation recovery
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Mashup screens were distorted after keeping the screen idle for more than 1 hour and then trying to switch between accounts. Investigation showed that during SSO authentication the relaystate generated without including thread name in the URL, leading to the threadname not being passivated or made available during reactivation. To resolve this, the thread name will now be included in the URL.

PRCipher class references updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, starting Tomcat resulted in the error "java.lang.ClassCastException: com.pega.platform.securitycore.encryption.internal.CipherDefault cannot be cast to com.pega.pegarules.exec.external.util.crypto.PRCipher"This was traced to an issue with the references for PRCipher: cipher was moved to be a security-core component, but the class structure changes were not fully updated. This has been corrected.

Refined dependency checking for Hotfix Manager
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
The logic in Hotfix Manager was changed in 8.3 to include all Strategic Application hotfixes in the Catalog for platform versions 7.4+. However, because there are some edge cases where multiple hotfixes for different strategic application products have been shipped with the same rule changes, it was found that a DL packaged for one application could pick up hotfixes intended for another app. This prevented the DL from installing on systems where both apps were not installed. To avoid picking up these additional hotfixes, while the catalog shipped in the DL will continue to contain all apps, the system has been updated to use only a list of selected products when generating a catalog for calculating dependencies.

PrepareResponse updated to explictly close Input Handler
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using prpcServiceUtils to export a product in a Windows+Weblogic environment, attempting to export repeatedly using the same archiveName with the intention of overwriting the older product with the newer one in the ServiceExport directory failed with a FileNotFoundException. Investigation showed that the product file that was created by the pzExport REST call was not being released by the Weblogic File Handler process. Due to this, the next time the call was invoked the system tried to create the same file in the directory but failed due to the earlier File handle lock. To resolve this, the system has been updated to explicitly close the InputStream using try-with-resources.

Handling added for dual privileges with MSSQL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After setting up dual privileges, the Admin user was able to create a table but the base user received an "insufficient privileges" error. Investigation showed this was an issue when using MSSQL: the generated grant statements used the server login name as the user in the grant statement, instead of the database user. For all other databases, the username passed into the connection is the correct user to use for grants. Only MSSQL has a distinction between this connection user name (the login) and the database user, and since the login did not exist in the user table, the grant failed. To resolve this, when MSSQL is used, the system will fetch the underlying database user when determining the user for grant statement generation.

Post-Import Migration Agent query optimized
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
A Post-Import Migration agent belonging to the Pega-ImportExport Ruleset and set to run every 60 seconds by default triggered the SQL query "select ASTERISK from pegadata.pca_CWT_CXP_Work_Interaction" which ran for an excessive amount of time, caused a utilization spike, and then crashed the utility nodes. Investigation showed the excessive run time and load was caused by the query fetching a very large number of results. To better handle this scenario, the query usage has been updated.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
An out of memory error was traced to SearchInventoryImpl infinitely recursing over a clipboard property, where the child property referenced a parent property and resulted in an endless loop. This has been resolved with the addition of a depth check to ensure that the search does not recurse infinitely.
