Handling added for BIX count mismatch in manifest and extracted CSV data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
A mismatch in the counts in the manifest file when compared to the data extracted in the CSV files was traced to a corrupted or wrong pzinskey in the source database. If the BLOB is corrupted while extracting to output type and manifest type to CSV, an invalidstream exception was generated and resulted in the manifest file and extracted CSV file total instance count mismatch. This has been resolved by adding handling to balance the counts.

Landing page refresh modified to avoid frequent reloads
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
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 handling for download of attachment with special characters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
If the name of an uploaded attachment contained a non-ascii character, the upload was successful but the downloaded file had the wrong name without any suffix. This was an issue on WAS or JBoss servers where filenames contained non-ascii characters, and the filename parameter in the content disposition header also contained these characters. To resolve this, the filename parameter in the content disposition header will be encoded as well along with the filename* parameter to handle non-ascii characters in the filename.

Improved requestor cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Batch- and Browser-type Requestors were building up over time in both the Admin Studio and in the PegaRULES log and not removed until the system was restarted. This has been resolved by adding two extra cleanupRequestor calls to the Email Listener implementation.

Added support for JSON mapping of deep nested pagelist objects
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
An exception occurred when using a JSON data transform in the service activity to map the clipboard data to JSON on the third level of a structure formed as Pagelist-->page-->pagelist. To resolve this, support has been added for nested pagelist mapping with deep nesting of objects (configured for one sided actions) and arrays.

Queue Batch activity correctly passes chlld process access group
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When users attempted to create an index using the schema tools landing page, an error displayed in the table history stating "Create index failed". Investigation showed that this happened when a user was authenticated without the PegaRULES:DatabaseAdministrator role and then switched to an Access Group with the PegaRULES:DatabaseAdministrator role. The issue was traced to the activity that launched the batch requestor missing the parameter pzUseCurrentAccessGroupForChild due to the Queue Batch activity only passing the default access group authorization. This has been resolved by adding code to pass the additional authorization which will allow users to create an index in this scenario.

Added safeURL encoding for Japanese characters in attached filenames
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
It was not possible to preview a Japanese-titled PDF file attached on a work object. Investigation showed that in case of Japanese characters, file names were not being correctly encoded during the fetch request when JBoss was used. The retrieval worked correctly under Tomcat. In order to ensure consistent encoding, the safeURL API will be used for constructing the URL and for the activities DisplayAttachFile and pzDownloadFromRepository which add the ContentDisposition header.

Check added for lock expiration when using Save for Default locking
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
With the default case locking policy, during the process from creating a Case Object to Submit it was possible for multiple users to edit and save the same work object if the lock expired for the original user. No warnings appeared. To resolve this, handling has been added for a lock expiration scenario: previously, Save for Default locking was not considered. This has now been updated with a check that will evaluate whether or not the lock is gone before attempting to save.

Dynamic System Setting added to Invalidation query to tune performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Running a RuleInvalidation query on an SQLServer database with a large amount of data was causing performance issues. To improve performance, a force order hint has been added which can be enabled with the Dynamic System Setting racache/useForceOrderHintForInvalidationQuery.

WorkPageName preserved during passivation so attachments are correctly tracked
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When a work object was left open but inactive for a period, using the delete button in the pyAttachFieldRequired section caused the deletion of the Attachment Links for the 500 most recent attachments in the system with the same value for the AttachmentFieldName, regardless of which work object they were attached to. This was due to the delete attachments activity being executed with missing parameters: since data page loading was disabled and read-only data pages are not passivated, the value for the autopopulate property 'WorkPageName' was passed as empty. To resolve this, the data page will be preserved or reloaded as appropriate so the WorkPageName is maintained.
