API added to minimize calls to set parameters in datapage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Differences were seen after upgrade when using a datapage associated with a property which was application-specific and that had Data Access for the property defined as “Copy data from a data page" with parameters whose value was set by an activity from the associated property of type single page. Prior to upgrade, only one call was seen to set the values for the parameters in datapage, but post-upgrade multiple calls were used to set the values to these parameters. This was traced to logic used for extraction and invoking the perform, and has been resolved by adding the new API 'DeclarativeAction.shouldExtractWatchedProperties'. It will return true or false, depending whether the extraction of watch properties is needed or not.

DSS added for fall back to legacy decision table format
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After upgrade and switch to IL, non-working decision tables created in one class had pyWorkPage mapped to another class. In the column, the properties were mentioned as "pyWorkPage.xxxxx", but at runtime when the non-working decision tables ran as standalone, the system did not ask for values to be entered to evaluate the result. Tracer showed the error as "Goal seek requires missing input property pyWorkPage.All_Offln_Trans_In on page pyWorkPage; details: (unknown)". Investigation showed that the Legacy assembly for the decision table used the lazy evaluation pattern to resolve the expression in the column header in the generated Java code. This resulted in the property for the column header only being read when it was used. However, for IL-based decision tables all properties are read immediately before any rows are evaluated, which requires the property already be present on the page. This missing property from the lazy assembly then resulted in the exception. To resolve this, Executable.generateOrCompileSource and Virtual tableassemblyHandler.useIL() have been modified to fall back to legacy decision table format if the DSS InternalLanguage/disableIlBasedDecisionTable is enabled.

BIX command line support improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Post-upgrade, it was seen that changes to the engine which validate that Data-Admin-DB-Name is not defined multiple times caused the BIX command line extracts to no longer work the same way. In order to improve backwards compatibility, updates have been made to loosen the validation in JdbcConfigurationFactory to always prefer prconfig settings if there are multiple definitions.

Encoded and unencoded tenant URLs validate as expected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Tenants created in Pega 8.3.1 were unable to process REST service requests, and an exception was seen in the logs. Investigation showed that while validating the incoming REST request, the system was relying on pathinfo instead of requestURI but pathInfo was always in un-encoded form. To resolve this, the design time URL will be constructed with an un-encoded tenant part, and both encoded and un-encoded request URLs will be validated.

Context retained during nested automation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Issues were seen with context being passed correctly with automation. When a Data Page that was used to abstract the call to a REST API used a Data Transform which in turn used a Data Page which also used a call to a REST API to retrieve an OAuth Token, an error appeared. The same worked when a URL was provided on the Connect REST. When a service case was launched but a Flow Action wasn't submitted, then another service case was added and submitted, the post-processing robotic automation activity used the run robotic automation activity from the previous service case instead of the current service case targeted for completion. This has been resolved by updating the webwb • pzpega_ui_doc_submit.js file to pass the correct MDIContext based on the event target of FA submission while invoking RDA automation.

Performance improvement for Interaction History
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Interaction history was causing a performance issue due to pySubjectID being hard coded in the query while the clause values disabled query caching. To resolve this, a bind variable will be passed when using a single subject ID select call to the FACT table in the Inbound queries.

Email listener updated to handle encoded MIME attachment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When processing an email with an attachment that was itself an encoded MIME part, the email listener generated a NullPointerException around an extraction error. Analysis showed that a content-type misled the system into thinking an attachment was another message part. To resolve this, EmailMessageParser.java has been modified to avoid attempting to process an attachment as a MessagePart if it cannot get the content of the part as a Message.

Connect-FTP now s3 repository aware
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
In order to support using the Connect-FTP feature with the s3 repository as the source path, the system has been updated to check the local path provided for a filespec and attempt to retrieve the file for the Connect FTP call from there. This uses the "local file" field , using the format of "file://<storageDestinationAlias>/targetfolder" .

Cleanup added for staging directory
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Temporary files from imports and exports (from DevOps) were filling up the staging area disk space because there was no automatic process for cleaning up these local files. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will clear the directory on Engine Startup and any time ParUtils.setStagingDirectory gets called to initialize the staging directory.
