Oracle/Unix documentation updated with JDBC instructions for urandom instead of random
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The Install/Upgrade guides have been updated to reflect that recent changes to Oracle have created the requirement of forcing the JDBC driver to use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random to improve security as well as connection open and close performance. The guide now recommends customers running Oracle on Unix do one of the following: 1. Update $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security to use securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom 2. Set system property -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom

Reference to outdated property removed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When building a system with WebSphere 8.5.5, DB2 10.5fp7 and Java 8, creating the environment and testing the connection on its datasource produced the warning: "DSRA8200W: DataSource Configuration: DSRA8020E: Warning: The property 'progressiveLocators' does not exist.". This was traced to a code fragment left after that property became unsupported which has now been removed.

Circumstancing template and definitions assembly modified to avoid calling RD
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After deploying a new rollout, errors such as "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY RULE-OBJ-REPORT-DEFINITION" and "You lack access required to execute RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY RULE-OBJ-REPORT-DEFINITION" appeared. Investigation showed that during an unauthenticated session, executing Report Definitions or accessing database (with securityCheck enabled) are not allowed. When someone wants to use circumstanced rules during the custom authentication process, and if the circumstancing rules are not assembled yet, then assembly of the circumstanced rules triggers the assembly of circumstance template and definitions. During this process the system used Report definition, but since execution of RD is not allowed without authentication the assembly was failing. This has been resolved with two changes: the MergeDefintions activity which is invoked during assembly of CircumstanceTemplate : database.open() has replaced the pxRetrieverReportData activity (which invokes RD to fetch circumstances definitions), and the GetAllDefinitionRows activity which is invoked from MergeDefinitions : database.open has replaced Obj-open in step 3.

Uploaded attachments will receive a unique name to prevent overwriting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
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.

DeleteOrphanStaticContent CacheConfigID populated on node startup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
The pzDeleteOrphanStaticContent activity which triggers to clear cache was unable to clear the files in the static content folder and in the database when the files were more than one week old. In order to correctly cleanup old static content, pzAsmCacheConfigID must be populated in py_sys_statusnodes. However, when SystemNodesDAO was introduced to populate pr_sys_statusnodes, pzAsmCacheConfigID was not populated. To resolve this, pzAsmCacheConfigID is now populated on node startup when node information is added to pr_sys_statusnodes.

Verbose debug logging removed from LockUtils
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
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 8.4
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.
