Support added for email addresses with hyphen in domain name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When attempting to enter a email with a hyphen '-' in the domain part of an email ID ([email protected]), the reply button was getting disabled. This was caused by the regex validation implemented in the "pzValidateEmailAddress" (Work-Channel-Triage-Email) standard activity not covering all the possible cases. To resolve this, regex has been changed to instead use a platform-provided rule to ValidateEmailAddress.

Enhancement added for node heartbeat recovery process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nodes were not showing up in the admin portal even though they were up and running and could be seen in the pr_sys_statusnodes table. The exception "An exception was encountered while invoking the cluster membership listener callback" was seen. All nodes became visible again after multiple restarts. The root cause was traced back to a temporary database connectivity problem. The database itself was fine according to database monitoring reports, but a network problem, a slow database query, or another issue prevented Pega from establishing a connection for more than a minute. An enhancement has been made to resolve this: if a node becomes unhealthy due to the service registry missing due to a failed heartbeat, the heartbeat will try to recover after 60 seconds and keep trying every 30 seconds until it succeeds.

Resolved Cassandra query read/write latency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Read/write latency was seen when certain Cassandra queries were triggered by the system. This was traced to an unusual case where a flush was not done for an exceptionally long time period, and has been resolved.

Email Discussion Thread retains Formatting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
CSS styles were not being retained in the discussion thread when replying to InboundCorrespondence cases. This was traced to a missing value in Param.latestReply activity pzCreateExternalPostFromMail, and has been resolved by setting an initial plain text value to the param.latestReply before it is set with the HTML value. This prevents having a blank parameter value if the incoming HTML value is empty.

ChatMashup loading issue with IDP resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When using a harness containing chat scripts via Mashup that called an activity to set parameters, attempting to launch the Mashup from an external application failed on the first attempt: an incorrect URL was generated and the activity was not triggered, resulting in an empty harness. The second attempt to launch the Mashup worked as expected. This was seen when using an IDP initiated Login with query string - pyActivity= classname.ActivityName, and there was a workaround to use SP initiated login or to use the activity URL directly on the IDP portal. Investigation showed that the resourcePath was coming as http in SSL enabled system, but the reqURI was still https. To correct this, the system has been updated so that if the reqContextURI starts with https and the requestURL starts with http, then the requestURL will be converted to https.

External Cassandra nodes listed in DDS cluster
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Nodes of an external Cassandra cluster were not listed in the DDS cluster except for the first one in the host list, and when the “only” listed Cassandra node was restarted, the status on the DDS cluster LP did not become “NORMAL” afterwards. In addition, even though other C* nodes were up and running, the external Cassandra cluster was reported as unreachable. This was an unintended side effect of work done on the landing page to reflect the real state of the nodes after some were killed and restarted, and has been corrected by refining the equals() and hashCode() methods for DDS member info in order to better differentiate the external Cassandra nodes.

IH summaries working with external Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Summaries were not working for external Cassandra. This was an issue with the IH summary component using the aggregated dataset as a reference, and this fix contains several components to improve this function. An issue where the IH aggregates dataset does not materialize when DDS is external Cassandra has been resolved by modifying the code that checks the DDS availability. A filter that was used to match “” did not work when pre-aggregation is off : this was due to the IH Browse operation being done outside of a DF context, and has been fixed. The IH Summary shape not working properly in a strategy if it referenced an aggregate dataset with pxInteractionID as part of the group-by properties was traced to an issue with it generating a pxInteractionID value when executing the strategy, and has been resolved by excluding pxInteractionID from the group keys in the IH Summary shape.

CEP bucket size increased to 1 minute
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Frequent DSM Data Flow Errors were observed in production nodes with very high event rates. This was traced to the default bucket size for CEP being 1 second for a 31 day window, which was not sufficient to handle high volume use which may create an event strategy window large enough to hit the Cassandra column size limit. In order to resolve this, the default bucket size has been increased from 1 second to 1 minute.

Support added for referencing Page Group property inside of strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Referencing a page property under Page Group property inside a strategy resulted in a runtime error of ClassCasting: "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to com.pega.decision.strategy.ssa.runtime.ClipboardPage". The issue was traced to the SSA optimized code for the GetPage SSA assuming that the GetPage SSA would only have another page as a parent. In order to handle the above scenario where GetPage would have a GetPageCollection as a parent and return a List of ClipboardPages, a GetPage function has been applied over each entry in the results of the GetPageCollection SSA using a MapAction SSA. Some optimizations will be applied in cases where the GetPageCollection has only one entry, which will replace the MapAction with a simple GetPage action.
