Fixed cataloging for framework hotfixes with non-java code
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
The system was unable to catalog Strategic Application hotfixes that included non-java code instances (e.g. .xml or .properties files) due to Framework hotfixes using a different version format that caused validation failure. To correct this, the system will bypass redundant release version validation for Strategic Application hotfixes so that it can catalog non-java code instances.

Access Group Guardrail warning removed from password change
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
Changing the password for the '[email protected]' operator generated the warning: 'The same Access Group should not be shared by Operators and Requestor Types. Access group PRPC:Agents was also referenced by Requestor Type DATA-ADMIN-REQUESTOR PRPC!BATCH'. The password change did take effect as expected. This guardrail warning was shown if the Access group used by the [email protected] operator, i.e. PRPC:Agents, was specified in any of Data-Admin-Requestor instance, and has been resolved by removing the unnecessary check.

Specification rule save-as loads requirements
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
While doing 'Save As' of a Specification rule from a locked ruleset version to a higher unlocked version of the ruleset, the linked Requirements were not shown in the Requirements section under the Details tab. Sometimes a refresh would show the requirements, but intermittently an exception would be generated. This was traced to the system not auto-populating the requirements list on 'save as' of the specification, and code has been added to PostActionSaveAs of the 'Rule-Application-UseCase' class to populate the Requirements link on 'save as' of this rule.

Uploaded attachments will receive a unique name to prevent overwriting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
An issue with an incorrect file being attached to a work object was traced to overlapping processes. When files are uploaded, they are first saved to common HDD directory and then read into memory and deleted from the HDD area. Files will overwrite other file carrying the same name, which is a problem if the first file is not completely uploaded and is waiting in the common directory and some other file with the same name is uploaded on top of it. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure file names are appended with a unique identifier to distinguish between files carrying the same names and keep them from overwriting each other.

Verbose debug logging removed from LockUtils
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Verbose debug logging that had been added to the "LockUtils" class to print when the lock was acquired or released and include the associated stacktrace has now been removed as it interfered with diagnosing locking issues when threads were getting blocked.

Corrected requestor status flag for direct map
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Numerous "Unable to create requestor" alerts were logged. This was traced to an error in HttpAPI where after retrieving the requestor from the internal requestor map directly, the requestor creation status flag was not set properly. This caused last action to post that alert instead of the correct notice of "existing requestor retrieved". This has been resolved so the flag reflects the correct status.

Improved performance for "Show-HTML" in a grid with numerous controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
‘Show-HTML’ was taking an excessive amount of time to render a UI for grid with a large number of controls. This was traced to the handling for generating and clearing markup creating an exponential growth situation, and has been resolved by modifying the system to remove redundant copies of a string in the markup string buffer.

Code fragment removed to resolve CookieDisabledException
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, a CookieDisabledException occurred after a post activity was invoked in the single sign-on (SSO) authentication service. This was traced to the site using the deprecated flag "redirectguests" as part of SSO-based login for mashup usecases. This flag was used to check if a cookiedisabled exception was thrown or not, and if there was no cookie, if a requestor was authenticated in first request. However, the flag has been removed as part of work done to omit the Cookie support check on Mobile App UAs. Code that supported the use of this flag remained after that work and led to the exception being generated, but has now been removed as well.
