Added check for external Cassandra cluster to avoid unnecessary DDS pulse error logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
After upgrade, DDS pulse errors were filling up the jvm.out logs. This was caused by a check in system_auth keyspace that was redundant for sites running their own Cassandra cluster (external). To fix this, DDS pulse operation will check If the Cassandra cluster is external; if it is, it will not check system_auth keyspace and will Omit DDS pulse operation actions except update logging.

Authentication tools now synchronized to handle multiple simultaneous calls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When testing an application that relies on SAMLAuth to create operators and map their data to specific fields it was seen that some users had errant information mapped to their various fields, mostly related to the .pyUserIdentifier and .pyLabel fields. The issue surfaced when multiple user sessions were simultaneously accessing the state of the parameter page, and was traced to an issue where the tools were not synchronized . during the authentication process. To correct this, the tools will be synchronized by storing their state in the parameter page. Context obj will remain constant while the parameter page will be passed in the authentication process.

Top level activity steps are numbered correctly when child steps exist
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
Top level activity steps were showing as being numbered incorrectly when child steps existed, but saving the rule or refreshing the rule corrected the numbering. This was caused by CSS that was added to the rule form harness to increment the step number; while expanding a top level node the reset happened and then the counter initialized the value. To address this, the code has been changed from CSS counter to CSS attr which will use the index attribute of the current row. Additional CSS cleanups were also done to remove IE9 and other browser-specific styling that is no longer needed.

Save Parameters checkbox in Marketing AssociationCategory now disabled by default to resolve exception during campaign
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
An exception was thrown in the logs if an access group had any categories added or deleted while running a campaign in the marketing framework. This was traced to the checkbox "Save parameters with this property for access on reopen" being enabled by default, which ended up adding empty category tags to the Access Group Rule while running. This checkbox in pyAssociationCategory property has now been unchecked by default.

Admin user flag correctly passed from Dual user when falling back to the legacy connection manager
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When using Dual user configuration with the Base user running Pega, creating a Data Type with a Local Source and then changing the database to CustomerData resulted in an exception citing "insufficient privileges" while trying to save. This was traced to the flag indicating whether the request was coming from an admin user not being passed through ConnectionBrokerAdapter if the system has to fall back to use the legacy connection manager. This was a missed use case which has now been fixed.

Filter value Autocomplete uses localized text for the 'Case Type' string
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
The Filter value autocomplete field of the Case Manager portal bulk action landing page was not working as expected while using the Japanese locale setting. If the locale setting was English or empty, the filter value was displayed correctly in the autocomplete. This was an issue with comparisons being hard-coded to use the literal text string 'Case Type', which was failing in localization. To fix this, a 'when' rule has been added to compare localized text against pyFilterName and use it in the appropriate rules.

Cassandra enhancement added to allows enabling or disabling table truncation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
Truncations of Cassandra tables sometimes failed if the compactions were interrupted or if all nodes in the cluster were not available. In order to support more customization, operations have been added to allow compaction of Cassandra tables to be disabled and enabled. The system will also log if a truncate is not possible due to the consistency of the cluster. In order to disable compactions for a DDS Dataset's Cassandra table the following code can be included in an Activity: com.pega.dsm.dnode.impl.dataset.cassandra.CassandraDataSet dataset = (com.pega.dsm.dnode.impl.dataset.cassandra.CassandraDataSet)com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.dataset.DataSets.instance(tools, "<Application Name>", "<DDS DataSet Name>"); com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.dataset.operation.Operation<?> operation = dataset.getOperationByName("Disable Auto compaction"); operation.execute(tools, myStepPage, null); To re-enable compactions for a table the following code can be run as an Activity: com.pega.dsm.dnode.impl.dataset.cassandra.CassandraDataSet dataset = (com.pega.dsm.dnode.impl.dataset.cassandra.CassandraDataSet)com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.dataset.DataSets.instance(tools, "<Application Name>", "<DDS DataSet Name>"); com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.dataset.operation.Operation<?> operation = dataset.getOperationByName("Enable Autocompaction"); operation.execute(tools, myStepPage, null); It is recommended that the disabling of staging tables be performed after the completion of a successful upload and the reading of the staging table is complete. It is recommended that the compactions be re-enabled after the truncation of the table is complete and before the loading of the staging table.

New wrapper API created to handle external Cassandra nodes for ADM models
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
When the Decision Data Store Service was configured to use an external Cassandra instance, the Adaptive Models Management landing page did not list the number of models when a strategy referencing an ADP Model was run, and the message "Error loading adaptive decision management server data. Ensure adaptive decision manager and decision data store service nodes are available." was displayed. This issue was traced to the ADM service relying on a FunctionalNodes API provided by DSM service infrastructure that was not able to recognize external Cassandra nodes. To correct this, a new wrapper API pyADMHasFunctionalNode has been created.

Added missing validation trigger for survey question page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.1
Validate rule or preaction was not firing as expected for the Question page in Pega Survey. This was due to a missing step which has now been added to pzDisplayQuestionPagePostAct.
