Support added for UTF-8 charset in Connect-REST pyRequestAttachmentPage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using Connect-REST with pyRequestAttachmentPage, Polish characters like "ó" or "ł" were converted to "?". This did not happen when pyRequestAttachmentPage was not used. This was due to the post request body using a multipart handler that ignored the charset being passed in and considered it a respective enum type for Application/json internally instead. This has been resolved by adding support for charset UTF-8.

Conditions added for RuleSet names in private edits
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When a data type data page was referenced by a rule in a different RuleSet to that of data type itself, the data page disappeared from the list of data pages displayed in the data type. A private checkout of report definition Rule-Declare-Pages.pzGetDataPagesForExplorer and the removal of the filter criteria 'IRR.The_version_of_the_RuleSet_of_the_referencing_rule' Less Than or Equal To ' RS.pzRulesetVersion' allowed the data page to reappear. The root cause was traced to the Index-Reference sub report join in the report definition Rule-Declare-Pages.pzGetDataPagesForExplorer incorrectly matching the Index-Reference for the section and thus failing the selection criteria when the referencing rule was in a private edit. To resolve this, an other condition has been added for situations when the RuleSet name of the referencing rule contains "@" (which means the referencing rule is in private edit) to the two RDs. The other change is not to show private edits in the referencing rules, which is done by adding the condition .pxReferencingRuleSetName does not contain "@" in the RD pzGetReferencesInfo. This will not show the number of references and the referencing rules until it is checked in.

Case creation service activity unauthorized response modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
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.

Support added for tracing PageList during automations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When using the out-of-the-box email reply on an email triage case, an exception was observed in the tracer stating "com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.WrongModeException: The property To.pxResults was of mode Page List while com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.clipboard.ClipboardPropertyImpl.getObjectValue() was expecting Java Object mode." This has been resolved by adding support for tracing PageList during automations.

Smart Prompt refreshes the cache after deleted instances
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When running an activity where a data type with one data model acted as key to the data type, the parameter declared was shown with an input box. If the down arrow was pressed in the input box, all the records stored for the data model (key) in data type were shown. If one record was deleted from the data type records and the activity run again, the deleted option was included in the list shown when pressing the down arrow. When a new record was added to the data type and the activity was run, the correct option list was shown in the dropdown and the deleted record was correctly omitted. This was caused by a difference in the APIs used for adding and changing the records and for deleting the records which resulted in the list not being refreshed after deletion of a record. To resolve this, a step has been added to reload the cache after a successful delete and commit.

Enhancements added for using AWS file repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Enhancements have been added to improve the use of AWS file storage: - Logging for AWS SDK connection metrics can be activated on a per-repository basis, either through the ruleform or through the DSS `storage/class/:/enableMetrics`. - INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter to periodically output averages of recorded metrics for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled, or INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSRequestMetricCollector to output recorded metrics on every client call for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled. - The interval at which PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter logs metrics at can be configured with the DASS `storage/AWSSDK/metricReportingInterval`. This DASS is a system-wide setting, and not a per-repository setting. The default reporting interval is 90 seconds, and metric collection is disabled on all repositories by default.

Enhancements added for mail handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Numerous EmailClientRuntimeExceptions were seen during listener execution. This was traced to a null folder name in the email client configuration that was expected during listener processing, and investigation showed it had been created during a race condition in creating configuration objects for sender and receiver. Handling has been added to address this conflict. As part of addressing the related issues, enhancements have been made to enable the email listener configuration to utilize all available nodes in a cluster to improve scalability for high load conditions and increased ability to process more messages per hour.
