Resolved Issues

Resolved PageCannotBeSerializedForPassivationException in logs

The exception "One or more properties could not be serialized during passivation and have therefore been lost. They will not be available on activation. Please ensure that all property data is Serializable" was observed in the logs. Investigation showed there was an HTML fragment in 'pzGridOpenAction' that was adding non-serializable properties to the clip board. This did not cause a functional issue, but has been resolved by modifying the way the system obtains and reuses the class definition.

Removed extra scroll bar in Multiselect

An extra scroll bar was appearing when opening the multi-select control case manager portal using the "Results displayed Maximum 500 results to display" setting. This was a result of recent updates to the popover scroll and height that caused on overflow condition. To resolve this, the logic for Multiselect has been updated.

Enhancements added to S3 repository implementation

The following changes have been made to avoid redundant/unnecessary S3 SDK calls to look-up metadata for files/folders related to integrated S3 Repository API implementation:

 - Provided storage/AWSSDK/enableSDKMetrics DASS to enable AWS SDK metrics for S3 repositories system-wide to troubleshoot performance issues
 - Added timers for Pega platform repository APIs. To see these timers in Pega application log, set log level to WARN for the log category pxIntegration.Repository.S3 and set log level to DEBUG for the logger com.amazonaws.latency
 - Optimized FileS3Adapter.getMetadata() by avoiding object-metadata lookup for directories and caching rootpath directory metadata for 5 mins
 - Handled exceptions while uploading file to S3 bucket and convey appropriate error message to RepositoryManager.createFile() API consumer
 - Refined DEBUG logging and introduced new loggers to emit stacktraces
 - Enhanced RepositoryManager.initCache() and  FileStorageManager.registerStorageClasses() to maintain non-overridable repositories (that are initialized based on DASS/DNode settings on node start-up) and to prohibit overriding the same.

API performance improvements

Performance improvements have been made for running the get assignment action details API.

Case history filter added for manual instantiation of Child Case

After upgrade from v7.4 to v8.3, creating any child case from a parent case unexpectedly added the audit history "Child case xxxxx has been manually instantiated" to the parent case. In order to make this customizable, an "isHistoryAvailable" function has been added in the 'when' condition of "AddCoveredWork" Activity's "History-Add" Step. This will use the FilterHistory decision tree, which now has a setting for "ChildCaseInsAudit" to control whether or not the manual Instantiation of a Child Case will appear in the case history. The default is "true"; setting it to "false" will suppress the message.

Child case locking error message has correct parameter

A locking error message was appearing without the case parameter, showing "Error Message : Could not lock the cover ; has it. Please wait and try again later." This was traced to the cover already being present, causing the step to open the Cover Object to fail. To resolve this, and update has been added to pass the Cover case ID to the field value.

Email handling security updated

Cross-site scripting protections have been enhanced for email activities.

Log-access security updated

Access control has been updated for Log-Usage class.

Null check added for embedded section pyInclude tag

When attempting to implement a call to the Pega API casetypes endpoint, the end point /casetypes/{id} returned data for only some of the casetype IDs. For others there was no content in the response and in the logs the error "null at com.pegarules.generated.pzAPICreateJsonForGroup" was seen. This was traced to the use of an old section which did not generate the embedded section pyInclude tag. When the API was called on the same section, it tried to perform an equality check on the variable which gets the pyInclude value, and the null value caused the Null pointer exception. This has been resolved by adding a null check to cover pyInclude in an embedded section.

Parent flow next step will take precedence over sub-process

A Breadcrumb configured in the screen flow was not displaying at the last assignment when there were multiple embedded sub processes and the last assignment was called in a sub process. This was traced to the parent flow next step information not being passed due to the next step in the sub process being marked as an end shape. To resolve this, the pzFlowSteps7 html control has been updated to pass the parent flow's next step information in this situation.
