Enhancement for Optimizing Packaging during full & delta sync
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
As part of an enhancement for more contextual, optimistic packaging algorithm in certain conditions, packaging can be optimized based on a setting available at the case type. For example, most Field Service applications where offline capability is heavily used don't have or need the ability to instantiate or create new cases, but rather work on existing assignments routed to the agents. Some sites have the additional constraint where the case types or the flows within a case type may be large in number and dynamically created, which means the first full sync will just not be sufficient for the user to work on later created assignments. This has an adverse impact on the performance of the full sync and the first login time. The following changes have been introduced: - On delta sync - if a new work item ( of new case type which is not there during full sync packaging ) is added to work list. All the dependent rules of this new case type will be packaged and sent to HC. Added an checkbox in the case type rule "Only offline when in user's worklist" which will be visible only when "Enable Offline" is checked. - Provided a new when rule pyPackageAssignmentFlows which is set to false by default. When the true, all the case type with "Only offline when in user's worklist" will have selective flow packaging. - Create a class structure with a page group to hold full packaging and optimized packaging Application.pyOfflineCaseTypes("full") Application.pyOfflineCaseTypes("optimized") Above properties are populated in pzGetStartingFlows activity which is ran on delta sync and full sync. - Flows that are created in the case with "Only offline when in user's worklist" check are listed in pzDataSyncGetworkList which will be packaged during delta sync. The flows are listed for packaging if there is any Work Object created, flow is retrieved from the Assignment's pzInsKey key, and Flow key is built. Changes are made in the PackageRuntime.java to iterate the flow and perform packaging.

Landing page refresh modified to avoid frequent reloads
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Approximately every two weeks, clients were able to login but it was not possible to work as the landing page refreshed constantly until all of the nodes were rebooted and the issue was cleared. Investigation indicated the frequent reloads were related to the cacheing of the operator details, and this has been resolved by updating the datapage reload strategy based on 'when' so frequent reloads will be avoided.

Added check for duplicate attachment names with S3
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
S3 Storage does not allow duplicate file names, but the AttachContent function was allowing duplicate file attachments. Due to this, the sync was failing to attach on the server and the message was never communicated to the client. This has been resolved by adding a check for duplicate file names when the storage is repository.

Corrected Survey button refresh issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After implementing a Pega Survey question page with dynamic / reflexive questions (Answer to Question 1 determines Question 2 and so on) where every answer pick caused a refresh, picking various radio buttons quickly caused an unexpected busy indicator. Investigation showed that on click, both refresh section and run activity were executed asynchronously, triggering the property mapping refresh before answers were clicked. To correct this, the clearSelection function call in pzsurvey_ui_userscript JS file has been modified, and questionPageName has an added 'if' condition.

Uploading Pulse attachments made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Upon uploading a file in the Pulse section for a case created in the Case Worker portal, the error message "File <filename> doesn't exist or is empty" appeared. This was traced to using a third-party repository when the network was slow, and has been resolved by instituting the use of callbacks/timeintervals to execute a particular function call only after getting proper results.

JMS push notification made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After creating a JMS Service to call pySendPushNotification from an activity, running it using User Context worked as expected but selecting initialize Service Context resulted in the Push notification silently failing in the context of JMS service. The JMS is used as a communication medium between legacy and Pega solutions. When the message arrives, Pega creates a new case and sends a push notification to the user, who has only 2 minutes to accept the case. Because of the urgency of timeliness in this situation, the push is sent directly from the context of the service rather than expend 30 seconds for agent processing. However, because the application was not always available to the pySendPushNotification activity (and further to API call), the push failed. In order to avoid this condition, the system has been modified to use the more widely available pxThread instead of Application when possible.

Corrected browser displaying checkboxes as sliders
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Checkboxes were displaying as sliders in Microsooft internet Explorer version11.1304.17134.0 due to the browser returning Table pc 2.0. Since Pega HTML class includes tablet, .tablet related styles were getting picked up and displaying the checkboxes in tablet mode. To resolve this, a check has been added to pyIsTablet to evaluate correctly at runtime.

Data sync updated for use with DeferWrite
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After update, attempting a data sync from the client mobile application worked for the first object submission, but the second object failed and stayed in the list. This was traced to finish assignments running back to back when deferWrite was enabled and svcPerformFlow failed to find the assignment. To resolve this, the assignmentHandle will be passed to the activity when calling the pzSetDeferWrite activity from FinishAssignmentActionProcessor.

Resolved Clear Cache error for mobile client
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When attempting to clear local storage while logged into the Mobile Client, the error message "You need to be able to connect to the server in order to clear the storage" appeared. This was traced to the application being configured to disable a user's web session immediately after log in, and was due to the "Clear Cache" functionality failing while attempting an AJAX request to invoke the server's "pzAmIOnline" activity. While there was a workaround of using the check box "Access group requires a connection for portions of the application", this has been resolved by updating the Settings - Clear Cache functionality in order be able to detect if it's online in a different way.
