Changelog cleanup added for de-optimized properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Unwanted optimization was automatically added to properties for the Application-Work-Casetype class created using the wizard in the App Studio. Attempts to remove the optimization did not work: the property advance tab was showing the optimized classes details even after deleting and recreating the property. When a property is optimized the system adds entries to pr_changelog for the list of classes it has optimized. When the property was deleted, the pr_changelog was not cleared. This was a missed usecase, and has been resolved by overriding the Cleanup activity at Rule-Obj-Property class to delete the pr_changelog entry associated with that if it is present.

Initialized entryName for light weight inventory instance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When running deployment on a new pipeline created for the next minor version, once the deployment process got to the point of showing aged updates, the “view aged updates” came back as blank screen. Viewing the logs showed the aged update elements come back but were missing the pyName associated with them. Investigation showed that the system did not have support for setting the mEntryName for LightweightInventoryInstance objects. This has been resolved by adding a junit to ensure that getEntryName() doesn't return as null and should be equal to pzInsKey.

Hot Fix Manager updated to use installation order for schema import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Schema changes were not being imported during the hot fix manager DL import process. Investigation showed this was due to hotfixes in the DL being iterated over from newest to oldest, causing older hotfixes to replace the value added to a map by the newer. To resolve this, the system has been updated to use hotfix install order, which considers selected and dependent hotfixes, rather than ordering newest to oldest. This ensures that newer table representations will override older rather than the other way around.

Performance improvements for embedded page reference checks
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Significant performance differences were seen between opening custom rules in the developer portal and opening the same rules in an embedded page. This was traced to each embedded page in the stream checking to see if reference properties are present. To resolve this, DirectStream has been modified to cache the value of containsAnyReferenceProperties if it has already been checked so that it is not repeatedly checked when it is not necessary.

WebLogic tool generation updated for complexType schema
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
A red X error was seen for PRAsync MDB modules on the Resource Dependencies screen in the WebLogic console in deployments with WebLogic 11i or 12c. This was due to the EJB component (prbeans.jar) not being implemented to support complexType schema, and has been resolved by updating the Pega Platform WebLogic components to support complexType schema in the WebLogic tool generation.

Command line jar import handling improved
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When installing Smart Dispute and related strategic applications, exceptions occurred when generating a DDL via prpcUtils (e.g. prpcUtils.bat generateDDL) if any of the files listed in schema.archive.input did not contain schema changes or did not have a delta. This has been resolved by updating the system to better handle files that do not require a DDL to be generated.

Documentation correction for setupDatabase.properties naming
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The install, upgrade, and update guides on the PDN referring to the setupDatabase.properties file properties gave erroneous name formats for the schema name properties. All instances in the documentation referring to pega.rules.schema have been changed to the correct format of rules.schema.name, and all instances of pega.data.schema have been changed to the correct format of data.schema.name.
