Email Listener auto-reply evaluation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, messages were being read but not getting processed for a specific Email listener (RCEmailListerner). The error "Email flagged as an autoreply email and will not be processed" appeared in the logs. Previously, an email was not considered to be an auto-reply only when the 'auto-submitted' header didn't exist or existed with value 'no'. This caused issues with auto-forward or auto-redirect emails where 'auto-submitted:auto-generated' could be in the header. Due to this, email was marked as auto-reply and email listener stopped processing it. To resolve this, the system has been modified to mark the message as auto-reply if it finds 'auto-submitted: auto-replied' in the header, but not 'auto-submitted:auto-generated'.

Assembly error self-healing enhancement added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
A StartOperation error was seen due to a declare trigger getting fired before the engine was fully up, indicating "UnresolvedAssemblyError: Error occurred trying to parse the expression and augmenting the code: java.lang.NullPointerException". This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that handles "self healing" for assembly errors.

Date field correctly extracted for IMAP inbound email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, email-sourced cases were not being created correctly. Tracer showed the date field was blank, causing an error which was traced to the getReceivedDate being returned as null for the JavaMail AP even though the IMAP protocol was being used. This was an unintended side effect of work done to handle a throttling exception in the IMAP inbound email flow, and has been resolved by updating the system so that if the getReceivedDate is null, the date will be extracted from the mail header while processing dates in EmailMessageInfo class.

JobScheduler initialization timing adjusted
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
DDS nodes were ending up in a deadlock condition on restart, preventing them from joining the cluster. This has been resolved by ensuring the JobScheduler initialization task waits for Search to start up.

Updated visibility condition expression handling for decimal values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, any visibility condition expression failed to evaluate decimal values that used precision. When 0 (zero) was entered as a value in the input field, a button that was configured to show was visible as expected. When the value was entered as 0.0, the input failed and the button did not show. The problem did not happen "Run visibility condition on client" was enabled. Investigation showed this was an issue with how the When expression was evaluated and calculated within JspWhenEvaluate, and has been resolved.

Performance improvements for save-as
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Performance issues were seen when using save-as for rules such as Declare expression, When rules, activity, etc. This was traced to a very large number of extra database queries that were being executed while building the Declarative Cache. To resolve this, an update has been made so the queries used for the Declarative Cache will only be executed when required.

Added debug logging and exception recovery for unexpected data object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When rules were complied in lower environment and deployed into production, they later became corrupted and system behavior changed. The error "Java generation failed: caught exception while expanding property pyGetCasePredictionsByClassName on page CurrentRecord" was generated. Investigation showed the auto-populate property pyGetCasePredictionsByClassName was attempting to get the metadata property "pzDataObjectParams": this was a string value in this scenario instead of the expected java object, and caused the exception. To resolve this, a debugger has been added which will check if the property is a java object or not. If it is not, the system will skip the processing and then display an error message with a stack trace.

Prconfig added to control declarative behavior during page merge/copy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Declare-on change was getting triggered multiple times even though there was no change in the watched property. Investigation showed this happened when properties had the same value in source and target page. To resolve this, a prconfig has been added which may be used to disable declaratives while performing page merge operations for these properties. The setting name is clipboard/putAllKeepNew/doNotFireDeclaratives: when true, it will disable declaratives when there is no change in property value while performing page merge/copy operation with merge strategy PUTALL_KEEPNEW. The default value is false.
