ExportMode parameter sent to resolve duplicate rows in Export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
On performing Export to Excel for a report definition, duplicate rows were being exported for a column which had a TextAreaWithExpandSmall UI Control. Investigation showed that this control was looking for the exportmode parameter, which was not being sent. This parameter is now being sent.

Updated sorting parameters order for better matching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
After choosing sorting for a column in a main summary report and then drilling down, a message appears indicating no records found even though there were results. The query showeds that the values for the 'where' clause were sent in the wrong order, causing a parameter mismatch. This has been resolved with an update to get the iterator before sorting so parameters match up correctly.

Eligibility Builder Select Values search box is visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
On the Offer rule, Eligibility tab in Eligibility Builder, when creating an eligibility row that used ' {property} equals {value}', on the Select values menu -> Existing values, there was no search box to navigate the list of property prompt values. This was traced to the select values gadget not using the "Prompt value" to be displayed as its label, and has been fixed.

HTML entity handling added to URLObfuscation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When URLObfuscation was enabled through the configuration settings, clicking on Operator -> Profile page generated an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException. When obfuscation is used the decrypted string is parsed and the request map is populated, but HTML entities were not considered during this process. To resolve this, handling has been added for HTML entities and characters during obfuscation. Please note: URL Obfuscation is a legacy feature with many known limitations and it is no longer recommended that these settings be used.

Query parameters will be cleared after redirection from authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using the /PRAuth Servlet, running a snapstart URL generated from a secondary application correctly executed SAML Authentication and Pega processing, but a second URL generated with different parameters ran with the parameters from the first request. The third and subsequent requests processed as expected with the parameters sent in with the request. Investigation showed that the previous parameters were picked due to the query string parameters not being cleared after redirection, and this issue has been resolved by updating the system so it will clear the parameters after issuing a redirect from the authentication policy engine.

Data pages explicitly cleared after QP use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
The Util Node was showing as Offline in the Search Landing Page, and when Jobs were submitted for execution from other Nodes the message "Detected active run with unreachable nodes" was logged. The util node, configured as a backgroundprocessing node, was running QPs, the queue size for custom QPs is 500 messages /queue items per minute, but investigation showed the requestor level and thread level data pages corresponding to the QP activities were not being cleared after use. This led to high heap memory issues that made the node unreachable, and has been resolved by adding code to explicitly remove the data pages when processing has finished.

Custom agent next run time will be rescheduled if the run failed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
If a customized agent that was set to run every day encountered an exception and failed to run, restarting the agent did not update it to the next run time, it still returned the passed trigger time as its next execution time. This has been resolved with an update that will reschedule the run if the next run time is in the past.

SnapStart supports SAML2 Authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using an HTTP Post to SnapStart into Pega using PRCustom style or PRAuth style SAML authentication, the login was looping back to the login request. Investigation showed that the Pega ACS was posting data properly back to the RelayState URL, however the login activity was not getting the SAMLResponse and simply sent a SAML Login Request again. This has been fixed by updating reqContextURI in case of SAML2 Authentication service so pyActivity=value will be passed.

Cookie logging restored
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
As part of security updates, Cookies were restricted from being logged. However, this caused some business use cases such as a custom function call to obtain the list of cookies that are present in the application to stop working. To resolve this, the cookie logging restriction has been reverted.

Local UUID cache will be updated when merge event is detected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Cluster-related issues were seen in multiple production clusters. For some nodes in the cluster the Cluster Management screen showed all expected nodes with valid Node IDs displayed, and on other nodes the Cluster Management screen showed the node ID of itself, SERVER@localhost:5701. On an impacted node displaying the wrong ID, the Node Information landing page did not work and displayed the error "Unable to execute job on ." Multiple advanced agents running on nodes in the affected clusters, both with correct and incorrect IDs, also failed with a similar error "Unable to execute job on <node's job id>". This was traced to a merge performed after a split brain. To resolve this, the code has been updated to handle merge events: when the node UUID is changed as part of a split brain recovery, the local UUID cache will be updated when the merge event is detected.
