Resolved Issues

Resolved BIX Extract Summary Status Count mismatch

A mismatch was seen between the summary of the Extract Summary Status Count in the Execution History stats versus the logs, for example the execution history saying 98.74% completed while the log says 100% or 100.45% completed. Investigation showed there was mismatch in the query based on the filter value given in the extract rule and the where clause in the query that resulted in an error in calculating percentage in case of any exception. This has been resolved.

Landing page refresh modified to avoid frequent reloads

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.

Enhancements added to S3 repository implementation

The following changes have been made to avoid redundant/unnecessary S3 SDK calls to look-up metadata for files/folders related to integrated S3 Repository API implementation:

 - Provided storage/AWSSDK/enableSDKMetrics DASS to enable AWS SDK metrics for S3 repositories system-wide to troubleshoot performance issues
 - Added timers for Pega platform repository APIs. To see these timers in Pega application log, set log level to WARN for the log category pxIntegration.Repository.S3 and set log level to DEBUG for the logger com.amazonaws.latency
 - Optimized FileS3Adapter.getMetadata() by avoiding object-metadata lookup for directories and caching rootpath directory metadata for 5 mins
 - Handled exceptions while uploading file to S3 bucket and convey appropriate error message to RepositoryManager.createFile() API consumer
 - Refined DEBUG logging and introduced new loggers to emit stacktraces
 - Enhanced RepositoryManager.initCache() and  FileStorageManager.registerStorageClasses() to maintain non-overridable repositories (that are initialized based on DASS/DNode settings on node start-up) and to prohibit overriding the same.

Cross-site scripting protections updated

Cross-site scripting protections have been updated around the DisplayAttachment function.

Query split added to handle Oracle expressions limit

The PXCHECKFLOWDEPENDENCIES activity was throwing the Oracle error message "ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000" when a case had a very large number of sub-cases, causing a failure in trying to submit additional child cases which sent them into the broken process. This has been resolved by updating the pxCheckFlowDependencies rule to break down the query parameter into batches of 999 so they can be handled by Oracle.

Added handling to find the workparty for FixCorrespondence

Using a Send Email smart shape and triggering email by passing the target email ID instead of the workparty role triggered the email as expected, but if a fix correspondence flow was initiated due to some error during the transaction, it was not possible to resubmit the fix flow action. Investigation showed that this was due to the fix correspondence flow check using the party role, which had not been passed. This has been resolved by updating the corrUpdate and createAndProcessCorr activities to copy the pyCorrPage from NotifyOp which contains the getgetEmailSenderInfo and use it to set pyCorrPage.pyStreamType.

Field Level Audit updated to handle hierarchical properties

Field Audit was not working for the first change of the data selected/provided for a field. The audit was only reflected after the second change was made. When the property involved a series of hierarchies, for example pageprop.pagelist(1).pageprop, the FLA objects will initially use deferred saves and the generated pzinskeys will be added to a savedFLAMap object. However, when the last pageprop was not eligible to save, all the deferred saves of earlier records were cancelled but the inskeys were not removed from the savedFLAMap object. Because of this, the parent FLA records were assumed to have been saved already when those saves were actually deferred. This was a missed use case for hierarchical properties, and has been resolved by adding an update to remove the inskeys from the savedFLAMap object so that in the subsequent property change the audit's FLA records for the parent properties (pageprop.pagelist(1)) will be saved again.

Updated error handling in AddAttachmentFromMail

Attachments links were still showing in case attachments even if the files were not uploaded to the repository. This was traced to the system not skipping code related to attaching files when there were errors on the attachment page, and has been resolved by updating AddAttachmentFromMail to perform this skip.

Cleaned up references to deprecated property type

While using the Pega API to update a case from one application to another, an error was generated indicating the system was unable to find a property definition of “caseTypeClass” in pyAddableWorkList of the workpage. All properties in the clipboard pages of the work page are validated during this update: in this case, the check was for the caseTypeClass property, which is no longer used but which was on the clipboard page. To resolve this error, all remaining references to property casetypeclass have been removed.

Wrapper added to set correct bulk transfer context

Bulk transfer was not working as expected when transferring an assignment from a flow defined in data class. Investigation showed the bulk transfer UI was getting picked from work- class while the post processing was running under data class context: this has been resolved by creating a wrapper activity in baseclass to call the post processing activity Work- .
