Performance improvements for Test Strategy data flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
In the Test Strategy panel under Single case -> "Settings", selecting the "Data flow" option and choosing CustomerData dataflow was taking an excessive amount of time to run on a system with an extremely large database. To improve performance, two areas have been addressed: 1) the default behavior for record key suggestions in the test panel has been modified to collect only the ID as the additional data is not necessary at that time; 2) a DSS has been added that will opt out of reading and collecting the customer IDs in order to minimize data stored on the clipboard.

Strategy handling updated for very large systems using IH summary
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When a Strategy in a Real-time dataflow used IH Summary on a system with more than 5000 groups for one eventKey, the message "Error retrieving aggregates from Cassandra KVS" intermittently appeared. Investigation showed that if the number of result rows was greater than the FETCH_SIZE (set to 5000), it meant another read to Cassandra was required and an exception was generated. To resolve this, updates have been made so that instead of returning maps, the system will return iterators and change them to map on the calling thread.

Enhancement added to expose BrowserAttachmentTypeTable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
By default, the inline view of PDF files appears with the thread name visible. An enhancement has been made to expose pzBrowserAttachmentTypeTable as a py rule: when the DT is overridden such that return is false for PDF, the inline view is not displayed but instead the PDF is downloaded when clicked.

pxGenerateExcelFile updated for handling blank dates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When using a custom template for exporting to Excel, blank DateTime property column values defaulted to the current date. To resolve this, the pxGenerateExcelFile activity has been updated to ensure that an empty date will be exported as blank and that given dates will appear in the correct datetime format.

pxParseExcelFile activity will now parse multiple sheets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When trying to use the activity pxParseExcelFile on an Excel file containing three sheets where each sheet had a different pagelist, the properties mentioned in sheet 1 were populated on upload but the remaining sheets only showed the error message "Could not get clipboard property for reference Work Queues.". This was caused by an error in Row index handling for the additional sheets, and has been resolved by updating the logic to populate the data in the clipboard. Additional issues for this issue in 8.4 to fix issues like formulae not getting evaluated and $ not parsed: 501592, 501383

Added handling for bulleted text insert triggering audit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When a bulleted text (copied from an email or rich text ) was used in the text area property, the audit considered it as a change even when there was no change. This was tracked to the field value 'pyHistoryMemo • ChangeTrack_Add' in @baseclass which is being used to get the localized value for audit memo: the field value accepts only 2 parameters, but the inserted text area input contained the '\t' that is used for parameter translation. To resolve this, the system will call the addMemoForSecurityChangeTracking utility method to replace all \t's present in both the Current Value and Previous value with 'empty' such that no '\t' characters are available in either of the string parameters.

WorkBasketGadget control updated for improved backwards compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, the WorkBasketGadget Control was not retrieving the work queues. This was traced to a backwards compatibility issue introduced when greater security was put in place. The control WorkBasketGadget contains a call to pzEncryptURLActionString that was introduced in 8.x versions of the platform to encrypt URLs to avoid hijacking. The content of the URL relies on the pxRequestor.pxWorkGroup property, which is resolved using pega:reference tags. This approach was working in versions below 8.x, but these tags were not resolved at runtime. To correct this, requestorWorkGroup will be resolved as string and passed as a parameter instead of using pega:reference tags.

Dynamic RTE support added to Word document generation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Pega document generation from a Word template was not properly replacing field codes in the document header or footer and failed to render images embedded in rich text fields. An enhancement has now been added to pzGenerateDocument which will support dynamic content from RTE.

Discard changes dialog now showing for local actions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After having modified case data without saving and clicking on a menu entry (left menu, search, ...), the system shows a dialog box to ask the user to confirm it is ok to discard changes. However, this confirmation dialog did not work with local actions, leading users to lose their work without any warning nor any way to step back. This was traced to a difference in the dirty form check, which was not present when launching a local action from a case. An enhancement has now been added to the handleMenuAction js function in pypega_ui_harnessactions.js which will perform a dirty form check with a prompt.
