Resolved Issues

Entity relation diagrams UI corrected

After upgrade, attempting to create a campaign showed a blank page. This was traced to the Entity relationship diagram not loading, and has been resolved by adding a safe check.

Resolved PageCannotBeSerializedForPassivationException in logs

The exception "One or more properties could not be serialized during passivation and have therefore been lost. They will not be available on activation. Please ensure that all property data is Serializable" was observed in the logs. Investigation showed there was an HTML fragment in 'pzGridOpenAction' that was adding non-serializable properties to the clip board. This did not cause a functional issue, but has been resolved by modifying the way the system obtains and reuses the class definition.

Removed extra scroll bar in Multiselect

An extra scroll bar was appearing when opening the multi-select control case manager portal using the "Results displayed Maximum 500 results to display" setting. This was a result of recent updates to the popover scroll and height that caused on overflow condition. To resolve this, the logic for Multiselect has been updated.

Enhancements added to S3 repository implementation

The following changes have been made to avoid redundant/unnecessary S3 SDK calls to look-up metadata for files/folders related to integrated S3 Repository API implementation:

 - Provided storage/AWSSDK/enableSDKMetrics DASS to enable AWS SDK metrics for S3 repositories system-wide to troubleshoot performance issues
 - Added timers for Pega platform repository APIs. To see these timers in Pega application log, set log level to WARN for the log category pxIntegration.Repository.S3 and set log level to DEBUG for the logger com.amazonaws.latency
 - Optimized FileS3Adapter.getMetadata() by avoiding object-metadata lookup for directories and caching rootpath directory metadata for 5 mins
 - Handled exceptions while uploading file to S3 bucket and convey appropriate error message to RepositoryManager.createFile() API consumer
 - Refined DEBUG logging and introduced new loggers to emit stacktraces
 - Enhanced RepositoryManager.initCache() and  FileStorageManager.registerStorageClasses() to maintain non-overridable repositories (that are initialized based on DASS/DNode settings on node start-up) and to prohibit overriding the same.

Optimization added for Oracle queries

Certain versions of Oracle may suffer from sporadic poor performance with all_constraints queries. To alleviate this, Pega has been updated to provide some processing optimization where possible in the TableInformationMapImpl function. Additional timing alert and debugging logic has also been added in this class for all platforms, especially for lookupForeignKey.

Chart fixes for localization and filtering

A problem was seen with a chart where the column was a date and its labels were not localized even though the values were displayed in the data grid correctly. This was resolved by updating the pzMultiSeriesData XML Stream to generate the series name attribute with the localized value. An issue with a drill down report pulling the data for entire criteria on click of specific set even though the summary view or clicking on the report data worked correctly has been fixed by adding an enhancement for using the aggregate column as a filter on drilldown with "Is not null". Additional work was also done to resolve an issue of a broken case causing the chart not to render when the aggregates were in an unexpected order.

Atmosphere cross-site scripting Vulnerability fixed

Atmosphere has been updated to close a potential cross-site scripting vunerability.

docx4j jar updated for compatibility with Office365

After generating a docx file with Office365, an error appeared indicating the document had invalid XML data and couldn't be opened. Once the error message was dismissed, the file could be opened normally. This was caused by an incompatibility between Office365 and the Plutext docx4j jar, and the Plutext jar has now been updated to version 6.1.1 to resolve this issue.

Added check for pyType when refreshing the Declare_pyDisplay Page

The standard behavior of clicking a link in the left navigation of the Pega Diagnostic Cloud manager portal is to open a new thread which automatically adds/updates the Declare_pyDisplay Page. However, in some circumstances opening the work items and clicking the navigation link followed by a refresh/F5 from the Google Chrome browser caused the Declare_pyDisplayDatapage to become corrupted and either froze the screen or caused a new popup window to open. This was traced to a situation where the parameter "pyType" was not present in one of the cases, causing the system to rely on "harnessName" instead. To resolve this, a check has been added that will retrieve pyType from the docObj parameter page of the pzpega_ui_dynamiccontainer.js file if needed.

Robot Manager portal re-launch correctly renders the last active screen

Two problems were seen with Robot Manager:1) Opening Robot Manager and then navigating to Workgroup drill-in screen worked as expected, but when the portal was closed and re-launched from Designer Studio, the last active screen (workgroup drill-in) was rendered but with no valid data in it. 2) Opening Robot Manager from email notification worked the first time, but when the same button from the same mail was clicked, the last active screen was rendered with blank or no valid data. This was caused by preActivity and preActivityParams not being sent in the doUIAction call during re-launch of the portal, and has been fixed.
