Force order added to inner join when running a Rules Resolution filter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, D_getResolvedWorkStatuses was not loading properly due to a Report Definition that used a Filter by Rule Resolution option timing out on the SQL Server. When the Filter by Rule Resolution option is selected in RD, it will generate a rule resolution query with an inner join which can cause a time out on the SQL Server while it tries to find out the join order for tables with multiple joins. To resolve this, the SQL server will provide a Force order, merge inner join hint option by way of an added DSS reporting/useForceOrderHint. Additionally, reporting/useMergeHintForRRquery should be set on Pega-Reporting to set things up for using the Merge Inner join hint in the query.

Support added for decimal values in RichTextDisplay HTML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, correspondence in Outlook was displayed with an incorrect left alignment, and footer images were stuck together. This was caused by a difference in the Richtextdisplay mode, which was previously set to 'literal' and is now richtextdisplay.Issue. To resolve this, an enhancement has been added which supports decimal values for the HTML attributes.

Exception handling added for upgraded custom decision tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, the status fail message "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator" appeared with a blue screen in the Run window when attempting to run a Decision table from Actions-> Run option. This impacted the ability to create unit test cases. Analysis showed the issue occurred for any decision table where "Evaluate All rows" was enabled and list properties were used in Actions if there was no value for the list property after the execution of decision table. This was traced to a NullPointerException in a RunRuleFromPage activity in a customized in PUnit ruleset, and was caused by having list properties in the actions of a decision table that had not been populated during rule execution. Exception handling has been added to resolve this.

Memory leak repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
A server side memory leak was traced to heap utilization increasing due to a Stream control assembly problem where the CleanForReuse() function was not cleaning up pzAuto. The cleanForReuse method in generated HTML properties is used to either initialize local fields, in which case aContext will be non-null, or to clear the object for pooling, in which case aContext will be null. Because the pzAuto variable was not being properly nullified, pooled controls were retaining stale references to StreamTools, LayoutRuntime, PRThread, and others. This has been resolved by adding code to ensure the pzAuto variable is correctly nullified, and additional work has been done to improve memory management.

Holdability flag set on connection for using MS SQL in Designer Studio
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Static assembler was not working from Designer Studio, displaying the error "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: SQL Server supports holdability at the connection level only. Use the connection.setHoldability() method." Investigation showed that ApplicationAssembly.getResultSetForQuery explicitly sets the holdability flag on the prepared statement, and this issue has been resolved by updating the system to set the holdability flag on connection as well.

Resolved Sporadic ControlBuild error in sections
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After upgrade, a sporadic error was seen with sections of a VTable after a server restart where a portion would not load and the error "com.pegarules.generated.html_property.ra_stream_pxtextinput_1786000787_default incompatible with com.pega.pegarules.pub.runtime.ControlBuilder" was seen. This issue was traced to invalid generation of an assembly parameter map for random sections the first time the table was called after restart. To resolve this, the system will now allow assembly parameter generation for a second time when they are empty, and the assembly parameters preparation will be handled as a synchronous process.

Data-test-id handling updated to resolve testing issue with custom controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
After configuring a custom control, the control did not render as expected when trying to capture the scenario testing. Investigation showed that in read-only mode, two spans were wrapped with same data-test-id when formatType is number. This caused a ‘no unique selector’ issue with scenario tests. To resolve this, pzpega_ui_template_displayText.js has been updated to not include data-test-id on outer span when formatType is number.

External Cassandra nodes listed in DDS cluster
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Nodes of an external Cassandra cluster were not listed in the DDS cluster except for the first one in the host list, and when the “only” listed Cassandra node was restarted, the status on the DDS cluster LP did not become “NORMAL” afterwards. In addition, even though other C* nodes were up and running, the external Cassandra cluster was reported as unreachable. This was an unintended side effect of work done on the landing page to reflect the real state of the nodes after some were killed and restarted, and has been corrected by refining the equals() and hashCode() methods for DDS member info in order to better differentiate the external Cassandra nodes.

IH summaries working with external Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
Summaries were not working for external Cassandra. This was an issue with the IH summary component using the aggregated dataset as a reference, and this fix contains several components to improve this function. An issue where the IH aggregates dataset does not materialize when DDS is external Cassandra has been resolved by modifying the code that checks the DDS availability. A filter that was used to match “” did not work when pre-aggregation is off : this was due to the IH Browse operation being done outside of a DF context, and has been fixed. The IH Summary shape not working properly in a strategy if it referenced an aggregate dataset with pxInteractionID as part of the group-by properties was traced to an issue with it generating a pxInteractionID value when executing the strategy, and has been resolved by excluding pxInteractionID from the group keys in the IH Summary shape.
