Metadatatree updated to be function-scoped in UI to resolve custom tab control display issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
When switching rapidly between two custom tabs, especially clicking in and then clicking away before the busy icon could be displayed, the section containing the tab controls was intermittently refusing to display. Refreshing the browser or clicking on the Pega button made the section visible again. This was traced to the template "metadatatree" getting overlapped with subsequent template processing due to a timing issue as "metadatatree" was being maintained in the global window object. To resolve this, "metadatatree" has been updated to be function-scoped in renderUI to avoid timing issues.

Support added for configuring key stores using prconfig or system properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
Previously, stream service only supported key store and trust store configuration using Data-Admin-Keystore instances. Unlike cluster encryption, it did not allow the configuration of key stores using prconfig or system properties. In order to align Stream service SSL configuration with the rest of the platform, support has now been added for the following system and prconfig properties: -Dpega.cluster.keyStore -Dpega.cluster.keyStorePassword -Dpega.cluster.trustStore -Dpega.cluster.trustStorePassword

Case urgency value will not be reset when processing wait shapes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
When a Wait shape was configured with the ‘Users can choose to continue process’ option unchecked, the overall work object SLA urgency was overwritten to 0 when the SLA processed the Wait shape. This was due to the Wait shape using pzWaitTImer, which has all urgency values as 0. The SLA being set to 0 did not occur if ‘Users can choose to continue process’ was checked on the Wait shape because pxSystemFlow was not set to true in that case. To prevent the SLA override, a check has been added that will skip setting the urgency setting if there is a wait shape.

New MaxFileSize extension point added for pyMaxFileSizeViolation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
A severe guardrail warning was raised when saving the activity pyMaxFileSizeViolation into a ruleset. This was traced to the CheckForWarnings Activity of Rule-Obj-Activity which checks if any activity referenced is an internal activity. Activity pyMaxFileSizeViolation was calling the internal pzGetCMMaxFileSize activity, and the warning appeared because the py activity was overridden in the application ruleset. To resolve this and add an extension point, pzGetCMMaxFileSize has been modified to a new data transform called pxGetCMMaxFileSize, which is called in pyMaxFileSizeViolation.

Debug logging added to HTTP API for improved diagnostics

Debug loggers have been added to the HTTP API to provide more complete diagnostics for an error where users are redirected to login screen after providing valid credentials. As a workaround, restarting the node server will resolve the login issue.

pzEditSkills activity updated for better skill matching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
In the pzEditSkills activity, a select skill is added to the operator. A check is made using a comparison of pyRuleName equal to pySkillLabel to see whether this skill exists in the system; if it exists it is directly added to the operator profile, and if it does not it is created and added to the operator profile. However, pyRuleName uses a short skill identifier string, for example ‘XML’ whereas pySkillLabel is the longer human readable string, for example ‘XML programming skill’. Therefore, it was possible for Pega to determine the skill did not exist and proceed to creating a new skill with pyRuleName equal to the pySkillLabel of the existing skill in the first available unlocked ruleset. In order to ensure the proper matches are made, the pzEditSkills activity step 4.1 has been modified to get the rule name instead of skill name.

New Activity added to ease cleaning up Thread-level data pages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
It is an expected behavior that the system will not automatically remove read-only data pages, as the decision of which pages need to be removed is system-specific. However, it was noted that an accumulation of Thread-level Data Pages may eventually cause performance degradation. In order to make it easier to clean these up, the new extension Activity "pyRemoveThreadLevelPages" has been introduced that is called from the DoUIAction activity.

Case name caption security inserted
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
In order to protect against the possibility of executing malicious JavaScript code by entering an appropriately modified name while adding new case type, pyCaption in menu items has been made HTMLSafe by converting JSON through the GSON library. Additional handling for Firefox has also been added to normalize tabName to properly display Recents.
