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.

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.

SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server. (The SameSite value "None" works only in secure HTTPS connections.)Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For cookie requirements other than mashup, it should be set as either Strict or Lax, depending upon your application.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
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.

Column type configured correctly in Care Management
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When using database tables for concrete class groups with the column pyassignedoperator as character type without size, upon installation on higher environments the message "ERROR: length for type char cannot exceed 10485760 for colum "pyassignedoperator" CHAR (2147483647)" appeared. As a workaround it was possible to manually change the column type, but this issue has been resolved by updating the handling of BPCHAR types while cloning the table. BPCHAR type will be taken as CHAR.

DASS and DAS associated to the Pega-ProcessCommander Ruleset
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
An upgrade was failing at the point of Pega Rules Upgrade in the Installer Instance with the error "Encountered database exception when preprocessing deferred operations <insert updatesCache instance DATA-ADMIN-SYSTEM PEGA not only if new>. This node not found in the database - Either the record was never saved or was deleted. Unable to join the cluster." This error occurred because the strategic application import during upgrade manually included a "systemname" DASS instance which had a value other than "prpc". This caused a override of the platform shipped DASS (with value "prpc), which is required by the upgrade. In order to avoid this condition, DASS and DAS have been associated to the Pega-ProcessCommander Ruleset.
