Error logging improved for ParseXML assembler failures
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
A Rule-Connect-REST call to get user data from an external application during authentication did receive data back from the service, but the ParseXML didn't parse the response and there was no response_GET page or errors logged to indicate the issue. To correct this, the code has been updated to ensure that an error is logged if the ParseXML assembler is unable assemble the rule.

Added flag for property messages on a passivated page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
A page with messages on a property was submitted twice after passivation has occurred. On investigation it was found that @hasMessages() is returning false after passivation even though a property on the page did have messages. Because the messages were not getting cleared, the application returned the same page to the user, and the page ended up being submitted twice. To correct this, when a page that undergoes passivation has messages, the information that the page has messages will be stored in the encoded page put into the passivation store. During decoding/activation of page, the system will use this flag to determine that page has messages and process them correctly.

Configuration change to avoid Apache Poi zip bomb errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
While importing an Excel sheet to create a workbook instance in Pega on a system that uses Apache Poi, Apache's built-in validations were triggered by what the software interpreted as an attempt to violate system integrity. In this case, a "java.io.IOException: Zip bomb detected!" error was generated when Apache detected a huge amount of data being uploaded to a server; in some scenarios this might be an attempt to eat up all of the server memory and impact server performance significantly, hence the warning. When there are many redundant data values present in an Excel file, the file will be compressed by a very high scale when saving. When the same file is used to retrieve data (during import in Pega) it will expand with the same scale to prepare the actual file. The "Zip bomb detected" exception will occur if the expanded file crosses the default MinInflateRatio set in the Apache jar. Apache includes a setting called MinInflateRatio which is configurable via ZipSecureFile.setMinInflateRatio() ; this will now be set to 0.0 by default to allow large files.
