Fixed flow line distortion in Process Modeler
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When clicking through to a subprocess from a parent flow (by clicking the + sign in the blue subprocess shape), flow lines in the subprocess were shown in a distorted fashion. When opening the same flow in a separate tab (by right clicking the blue subprocess shape and selecting Open Flow) the flow lines were correctly painted. This was an issue caused by the different renderings of the flow depending on whether there was a click through to it (with the + on the parent flow?s subprocess shape), or the subflow was opened in a separate tab (with open Flow). After the Process Modeler saved and checked-in the flow, the connector lines were re-drawn in ways that were non-intuitive and hard to interpret due to the edge routing in PM being calculated off incorrect input data that was taking into account shapes that were not represented on the screen. To fix this, the system now ensures the edges are routed without taking into account any shapes not represented on the canvas.

Fixed scrumboard intermittent failure
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
After upgrading, it was seen that the scrumboard would intermittently fail to load, partially displaying and then hanging if the columns did not fit within the window boundaries due to the number of elements. This was traced to an error in the functionality that resizes parts of the scrumboard, and has been fixed.

Enhanced SSA metrics made available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
In order to better diagnose delays related to the time when a Campaign is scheduled to start and the time when the Dataflow actually starts to run, an update has been made which will generate detailed metrics to cover some of the strategy execution key performance intensive areas. Additional lower level internal metrics related to SSA engine execution have also been made available by way of a DSS to collect more runtime insight for diagnosis. To enable the collection of these Level 2 SSA internal metrics, set the dataflow/shape/strategy/detailed_metrics/level2 DSS in the Pega-DecisionEngine rule set to 'true'. A comprehensive set of enhanced metrics will be available in Pega 8.8.

Added support for creating predictive models in Production
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
While creating a new predictive model rule in Prediction studio, the case was going into broken process after selecting the template with the error message "Error loading D_ProjectList , Reason : No databases defined in properties file:/databases.properties". This was an unexpected use case for creating models in Production level, and has been resolved by updating the flows to turn off the draft mode in this scenario.

DSS introduced to control DSM clipboard page serialization
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
When using a Kafka dataset to consume a message from an external topic that had an attribute name with a special character contained in a page list structure, using a JSON data transform for the mapping in a realtime dataflow resulted in the error "Exception in stage: KafkaDS; LegacyModelAspectInvokableRuleContainer.invoke-Exception encountered a :java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException." To resolve this, a new DSS dataset/CLASS_NAME/DATASET_NAME/JSONDataTransform/deserialization/useDSMPage has been introduced. When the value is set to true, the process will follow the previous behavior of DSM clipboard pages being generated when Kafka records are deserialized using JSON data transform. When the value is set to false, the JSON data transform will generate regular clipboard pages and convert them later to DSM clipboard pages. This would avoid errors when a JSON data transform calls methods from the Clipboard API that are not implemented by DSM pages. This DSS is set per data set instance. CLASS_NAME and DATASET_NAME are placeholders which should be replaced by data set's pyClassName and pyPurpose property values. In addition, a similar DSS, dataset/CLASS_NAME/DATASET_NAME/JSONDataTransform/serialization/useDSMPage, has been introduced for serialization.

Text analytics character limit set to avoid memory issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Utility nodes were unstable related to searching, and email listener threads became stuck during Rule-based Text Annotation (RUTA) and natural language processing (NLP) work on incoming emails. This happened when the system experienced high memory consumption or exceeded memory usage when using text analytics. This has been resolved by setting the default maximum character limit for NLP analysis to 25,000 characters to avoid RUTA memory issues. If text is provided > 25,000 characters, the system will consider only the top 25,000 characters and a flag will appear on NLPOutcome to indicate text has been limited. This character limit is configurable, but if the configuration is set in excess of 25,000 a warning will be shown prior to saving the change.

JMX authentication enabled by default for embedded Kafka and Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
For on-premises clients, a potential vulnerability for a Remote Code Execution using the JMX interface on Cassandra and Kafka using exposed network ports has been mitigated by enabling JMX authentication by default for embedded Kafka and Cassandra.
