Application wizard security updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
A user having PegaRULES:User1 role only was able to run the Create Application wizard until an authorization block was reached, yet some rules were created. No operator records were created as part of this process. This was traced to code left in place after the creation of pxAppConfig and pzAppConfig portals, and has been resolved. The New Application wizard UI will display a message to a user when they lack access to build a new application, and an error will be displayed for any attempt to create a new application directly via pzCreateNewApplication to address a scenario where a user might be trying to call the activity without the front end.

Adjusted validation of literal value of a parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When mapping a parameterized when rule to the proposition filter, parameters passed from the proposition filter page were not getting flown to the when rule. This was caused by special character validation for a literal value of a parameter which necessitated putting the parameter value within quotes and which resulted in a parameter value mismatch at run time. To support this use, this validation has been disabled as parameter values would not get included within quotes. This change does not have any impact on when rule or proposition filter rules java generation.

OpenRule logic updated for GetRuleInfo
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
The exception "InsufficientPrivileges:RuleExecutionDenied RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS PZGETRULEINFO" was thrown for some access groups when attempting to view a section from the end-user perspective on the Opportunity screen. Investigation showed this happened when a section had a table in which "Optimize code" was unchecked. If "Optimize code" was checked, then the exception was not thrown. This was traced to recent security changes in pzGetRuleInfo which affected the BAC registration process, and has been resolved by updating the way the openRule action registration logic invokes the activity.

Formulas corrected for GenerateExcelFile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, using pxGenerateExcelFile to generate an Excel file resulted in some formulas and values not displaying. This scenario used an Excel template with two tabs - one showing direct page values and the second displaying the calculated values of first sheet. In the exported file, the formula was not getting evaluated unless and until the cell was activated with the enter key. This is a known limitation, and a temporary solution has been made here to add parameters that force the formula evaluations on the saved Excel document when editing is turned on. A more complete solution will be included in the next patch release.

Corrected isExternal flag not resetting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
If an extraction referred to external tables, an isExternal flag that was set to true during the Extraction process did not get reset to false for the tables which were not referring to external. This has been corrected.

Large filter values accepted in Report Definition edit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Report definition edit filter values were not accepting large comma separated values properly. This has been resolved by modifying the logic in RRFilters_Logic to use ReportFilter.getReportFilters.

Scheduled tasks landing page shows all tasks
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Due to pzGetScheduledTasks listview having a hardcoded limitation of 500 records to be fetched, not all scheduled tasks were being shown in the scheduled tasks landing page. This has been resolved by modifying the pyCreateSummary activity to use a newly created Report Definition to fetch data instead of list view.

Updated filter logic for filtering on a DateTime column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When a class join was used in a report definition, the error "The Filter Logic used in the report is invalid" appeared while filtering rows of a report definition results on a DateTime column. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by modifying pzGridSortPaginate to convert the data type value into the proper casing.
