Updated visibility condition expression handling for decimal values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, any visibility condition expression failed to evaluate decimal values that used precision. When 0 (zero) was entered as a value in the input field, a button that was configured to show was visible as expected. When the value was entered as 0.0, the input failed and the button did not show. The problem did not happen "Run visibility condition on client" was enabled. Investigation showed this was an issue with how the When expression was evaluated and calculated within JspWhenEvaluate, and has been resolved.

Added VBD support for CSRF token setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Attempting to open any VBD reports in the marketing portal for a simulation test caused the user to be logged out. Investigation showed that this happened when CSRF token check was enabled in System > Settings > Cross-Site Request Forgery, and was caused by the planner not passing the CSRF tokens in its Ajax calls. To resolve this, handling for the CSRF tokens has been added to the necessary Ajax calls.

Exception handling added for dataflow rule assembly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
A Blue Screen error was coming up in the Customer Service Web Chat Application after an agent accepted the incoming chat request and sent messages in the chatbox in the Interaction portal. This has been resolved by adding handling for exceptions that occur when inlining templates during dataflow rule assembly, when inlining templates, we weren't handling exceptions properly.

Resolved Intermittent Access Group Issue for GetBundleEventDecisionDetails
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When using a REST service that calls the GetBundleEventDecisionDetails activity and dataflow to send the treatment in multiple channels, intermittent access issue related errors appeared while running the activity in logs for multiple customers. This was traced to a missed use case for authentication, and has been resolved.

Support added for expression in strategy scorecards
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When invoking REST against a dataflow that had a strategy containing a scorecard that used an expression and the "Include model explanations option" was enabled in the Strategy configuration, the system failed with the error "PropertyValueInvalid .pxMaxScore Cannot cast the value (unknown) to double". This was traced to the Scorecard explanations failing during serialization when an expression was used, and has been corrected.

Timeout for loading predictors made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When using an extremely large number of predictors, the Report definition pzADMPredictorsFilter was suffering timeouts due to the time for loading predictors from the database exceeding the time threshold allowed. This has been resolved by marking the rule as editable to allow custom setting of the threshold according to need.

Strategy Simulation Runs made more resilient
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Intermittently, a decision funnel simulation would fail with particular strategy logic or a particular StrategyTracker would not contain the results for all components so the system would not be able to calculate input SRs. Handling has now been added to make the simulations more resilient so they will not fail with a null pointer error due to incomplete strategy inputs.

Unneeded AUC error percentage calculation removed for better system performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When generating snapshots of the ADM models, an inefficiency in the metric calculation for the AUC error percentage caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated which could cause slowdown or require a system reboot. This has been resolved by removing the problematic AUC error percentage calculation as it is not used in the UI.

Enhancements added for very heavy use of strategy decision logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Recent updates were made to improve memory performance for scenarios where a single request primary page had tens of thousands of pages under an embedded pagelist property and the decision logic involved a strategy running on all the pages in that page list. To further improve performance, the array iterator has been modified and a DSS has been added that makes the threshold (50) in SSAExecutionContextIteratorFactory tunable.
