Enhancement to make Cassandra data file location configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
The location of the Cassandra data directory is hardcoded in versions 7.2.1 and greater and points to a different directory than previous releases. This caused problems for upgrades from pre-7.2.1 systems where disk volumes may already be configured specifically to house Cassandra data in the old locations. For Tomcat installations, the data file location is hard coded to be a directory under the Catalina Home directory. In customer systems, this creates a problem because the home directory is frequently not configured to be big enough to accommodate the Cassandra data volume. In order to improve compatibility, a new configuration property (DNode/cassandra_data_directory) has been added to override the hardcoded location using prconfig.xml, Dynamic System Settings, or the command line. Configuration options are provided for prconfig.xml and Dynamic System Settings that allow specifying the location of the Cassandra data.

Enhancement to configure multiple Cassandra instances in single rule
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
To facilitate connecting multiple external Cassandra instance hosts in a connect-Cassandra rule, it is now possible to establish connection to Cassandra instances on Cassandra Connector rule form by defining multiple hosts in the field: 'eng-bigbang-perf06,eng-bigbang-perf05' using comma (,) as a separator.

Proposition filter rule description updated to match decision data description changes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
Updating the description field of a proposition in the decision data did not update the description in the proposition filter rule involving that proposition as expected. This has been resolved by updating the rule which is refreshing proposition name changes to handle description change as well.

Reworked destination assumptions for child dataflows
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
When activating a Real time data flow run containing a Stream dataset as input which was then output to two child dataflows containing different event strategies, an IllegalArgumentException error appeared. This was traced to the pzDataFlowContainsEventStrategy activity assuming that the last shape had "Destination" in the ID in addition to an error obtaining the class. This has been fixed by properly setting the KVS type: the DataFlowRunConfig.getKeyValueStoreType() will not return NONE but default instead, and the pzDataFlowContainsEventStrategy now Iterates through all subflows and fixed secondary destination name.

Fixed UnsupportedOperationException from decision table
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
When using embedded properties (e.g. .OfferData.Action) within a decision table, an UnsupportedOperationException appeared on the DSMClipboardProperty if it was executed via a Strategy rule. The issue was with a function being not implemented within DSMClipboardPage, and has been fixed.

Property filter execution updated for better backward chaining
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
in cases where the strategy is cyclically called and backward chaining is enabled, the declarative network was looking to load the value of a property which did not exist, leading to an error. The evaluateWhen function in the proposition filter rule execution has been modified to reset backward chaining.
