Fixed null-pointer exception in external DB extract
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When using a class which maps to a table in an external database, running an extract caused a database permission error when trying to access the pr_log table in the PegaRULES database. This exception was caught and logged but then processing continued, resulting in a NullPointerException being thrown. To correct this, the sequence number generator has been modified to use the pr_log table instead of the class on which extract is defined.

Login error message modified for increased security
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When an operator was configured to use External authentication and then attempted to login through other servlets, the error message included the operator ID. This could be used maliciously to discover valid IDs on the system, so in order to improve security, the process has been modified to remove the ID from the failure message. If authentication fails, the message "The information you entered was not recognized." will be displayed and the system will log an error message in the PegaRULES log file with the actual message "Error authenticating , : This user must use external authentication."

Action item refresh properly triggers
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Refresh was not clearing the temporary filters applied on the report definition results if the refresh option was triggered by the actions button. This has been fixed by adding a new java step to pzRunWrapper activity to clear the previously applied filters.

Calendar icon refresh updated for Internet Explorer browser
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Intermittent responsiveness issues were seen when trying to select/pick date from calendar icon. This issue was traced to the combination of having the "Contract ID" option enabled and using the Internet Explorer browser, leading to unexpected refresh of particular scripts used in the section. The script timing has been modified to resolve the issue.

ServiceExport folder access restricted for guest users
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
In order to increase data security, access to the 'ServiceExport' folder has been blocked for Guest users (Un-Authenticated users who have pre-atn cookie) on single-tenant sites. Once the user is logged in with valid credentials, the folder contents will be available. For backward compatibility the PRConfig setting 'serviceexportcontent/allowtoguestusers' has been added; if set to true then guest users will have access. The default is false.

Corrected ClassCastException error on Connect-REST
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
After a REST Connector was run with the QUEUE Method Parameter, executing the "System-Queue-ExecutionRequest- ProcessQueue" activity resulted in an error. This was traced to the invoke activity of class RULE_CONNECT_REST, and has been fixed.

Descendant class logic made more robust
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The 'Report on descendant' option in the report definition/Listview was giving incorrect results. This was caused by the code used to execute the RD looking up the descendant class from the current application that inherits from the applies-to class (tools.getDatabase().getConcreteDescendantsInCurrentApplication(class name);) of the RD and executing the RD against this class. While this is appropriate when an application is built on another and case types are directly inherited into the new layer, this will not work when application layers are added which do not include equivalent case types for every case from the built upon applications. This becomes a more common problem when the MBO feature starts getting used more often on the customer implementations. To ensure the descendant class is correct, the Useimplemenation class has been updated to be more robust.
