Improvements to Services Tracer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
When clicking on tracer to get details of a page, a pop-up window opened up with a highlighted link (in blue color) to open the parameter page or the primary page, but clicking on either of these page names opened a blank window without any properties mapping. This was due to the underlying object missing required data because the Services related tracer events did not always have PRThread objects associated with them. The Tracer infrastructure expected the proper PRThread to be in the "ThreadContainer" but offered no option for providing the thread, and the ThreadContainer was not always populated when Services ran. To resolve this, the Tracer Event infrastructure has been refactored to allow specifying a PRThread in RULE-HTML-FRAGMENT TRACERTRACEEVENTSSCRIPTS. The constructor logic in TraceEventBaseImpl has also been modified so child classes can pass a thread instead of relying on ThreadContainer. The Node ID for tracer events will be set based on PREngineProvider instead of ThreadContainer, and the ServiceEvent Interface's methods have been updated to take pointers to PRThreads so that the tracer knows who/what is being traced. In addition, NPE protection has been added to RemoteTracerStub so Tracing Services will not crash the Tracer UI when running from eclipse / prwebpacked.

Rule-Service-Java authentication in a stateless session re-enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When exposing Rule-Service-Java through a service package, a proxy jar file is created. If the 'Requires Authentication' option was checked on the service package, the generated java did not contain the required code to pass through the username/password and authentication failed. This method of passing credentials via proxy method parameters was previously withdrawn for the stateless processing mode, but the java code has been reinstated to enable authentication for a stateless session if this method is desired.

Autopopulate correctly set/disabled in the CSR portal
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Switching to some clipboard pages caused a null pointer error in the CSR portal for the operator. This was caused by an autopopulate call being made even when autopopulate was disabled. This has been corrected.

Corrected revalidate and save of Service REST rule after upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
After upgrade, opening an existing Service REST rule and trying to save it in a higher ruleset using the revalidate and save tool resulted in the error "pyResourcePathParams.pyParameterName : This field should not be blank". This was caused by the Service REST xml not getting updated and has been corrected by adding UpgradeOnOpen to the process.

Reference Rules gadget shows results for GET >> Service Activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
Even if a Rule had activities in the GET >> Service Activity portion of the rule, the References panel did not show them. This was a missed use case and has been addressed by using Start-Validate and End-Validate in Rule-Service-REST.Validate activity.

New wrapper API created to handle external Cassandra nodes for ADM models
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
When the Decision Data Store Service was configured to use an external Cassandra instance, the Adaptive Models Management landing page did not list the number of models when a strategy referencing an ADP Model was run, and the message "Error loading adaptive decision management server data. Ensure adaptive decision manager and decision data store service nodes are available." was displayed. This issue was traced to the ADM service relying on a FunctionalNodes API provided by DSM service infrastructure that was not able to recognize external Cassandra nodes. To correct this, a new wrapper API pyADMHasFunctionalNode has been created.

Enhancement added to get archive details as response on getStatus API call with external repository
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
Previously, getStatus service did not return the repository location of the exported zip file if export to repository was passed true with repository name. An enhancement has been added to also get repositoryLocation with a getStatus service call if exportToRepository was true in the export operation and the archive has been successfully exported to the repository.
