Case creation service activity unauthorized response modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When unauthorized users accessed the URL for creating a case, a blank screen appeared instead of the user being routed to a login screen. This was due to the system returning an HTTP 400 error instead of HTTP 401 response, and was traced to the introduction of an anonymous user type in the authentication activity (Authentication service in the service package). Case creation REST service uses pzCreateCase activity to create the cases, but before introducing the anonymous user type it was exiting from the authentication activity and did not call pzCreateCase. This was traced to the error handling relying on a field value to be in English when instead the site had localized the value, causing a mismatch which did not generate the necessary failed status. To avoid this, the system will now use the new pxStatusFlowSecurity process engine status instead of relying on a text match to determine this error.

PegaEmailClient Debug level EmailAccount password issue resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
The SendEmailNotification activity was failing to send email when DEBUG log level was enabled for the com.pega.platform.integrationengine.client.email.PegaEmailClient class. This was traced to the removal of the pyPassword property from the copied object which was done for security reasons, but which is this case led to failed authentication. This has been resolved.

Content type added to Httpclientutils
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
The XML Response received from Connect HTTP Service was being converted to Base64 format automatically. This was traced to there not being a content type in the response header from the service, causing the content to be treated as binary and encoded before being mapped to the clipboard. To correct this, content type has been added to Httpclientutils.

Handling updated for queue processor locks
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The Final activity mentioned in the processing epilog of the Service File rule was not being consistently called from File Listener, causing some of the cases to become stuck and not continue to the next stage. Investigation showed that if the lock was held by the queue processor requestor, the system was unable to obtain the lock but still proceeded to update the LogServiceFile page and persist it. This resulted in overwriting changes made on the LogServiceFile page by the requestor, resetting the completed-batches-count set back to 0. To resolve this, RuleServiceFile -> updateLSFBatchCounts() will call the overloaded lockAndLoad() method in LogServiceFile that accepts a parameter called lockAttempts. This will attempt to obtain a lock for a given number of times before throwing an exception.

Zip compression added for tracer XML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
After upgrading from Pega 7 to Pega 8, attempting to save and download a trace session would run for a time before pausing and displaying the message "Operation failed. Network error". Investigation showed the tracer was generating a very large XML file which was consuming the heap and causing the issue. To resolve this, an update has been made that will reduce memory usage by using GZip compression on the file. The new behavior will be to always zip tracer XML by default.

Attached zip file has correct extension
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using a custom function with the SendSimpleEmail activity, an attached .zip file was corrupted on receipt. The issue was not present with other mime types (ex. images, docs, pdf). Investigation traced this to the extension for the zip file being incorrectly set as xzip or multipart, and this has been resolved by adding a condition to set the extension correctly.
