Rest connector supports extended chars in attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When the pyRequestAttachmentPage clipboard page was populated with a file name that contained Latin supplemental 1 unicode characters (decimal values 160 to 255 - for example an umlaut), any extended characters were being converted to question marks (?) before the call was sent, causing the web service call initiated by Pega to fail. To better support this use, an enhancement has been added to support a multipart request with extended characters in the file name. This allows the pyRequestAttachmentPage to specify pyFileNameExtendedChars, allowing RFC 6532 mode to be toggled for multipart requests with attachments. This mode allows for UTF-8 encoding in the attachment file name header, rather than the default ASCII encoding.

Updated JSON DT nested page property handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
In a JSON data transform, when using an "Update page" step on a single-page property, as a child step of an "Append and map to" step where a pagelist property is given, the pagelist was populated with only one result but the single-page property was treated like a pagelist and received multiple results. This has been resolved by updating the ClipboardJSONDeserializer implementation and downstream abstractions to support "clipboard only" relations as properties in nested PageLists.

Oracle temporary space explicitly freed after writing LOBs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
Oracle temporary space used to write the LOB was not freed up after writing records to Log-Service-File when using OJDBC8 or OJDBC10 versions and the table involved had inline BLOB storage such as small blob tables like Log-service-file (2-4kB blobs). This did not occur when using OJDBC7, but investigation with Oracle could not determine why the older version did not have this issue. This issue has been resolved by explicitly freeing the LOB space with a call to free() / freeTemporary() , a utility for LOB objects that was introduced in JDBC 4.

Resolved exception from expanding deserialized Data Page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When using a data page backed by a report definition where the data page data type was Rule- and the virtual page data type was Rule-Obj-Property, serializing and deserializing the data page and then expanding the deserialized data page generated the exception "the reference .pzInsKey is not valid. Reason: .pzInsKey is mapped to class Rule-Obj-Property, which is not the primary class of the list: Rule-; must specify a group name in mapping". The issue occurred only if "Run on Data Page" on the data page was checked and "Report on descendant class instances" on the report definition was unchecked, and has been resolved by updating the runLoadActivity() of DeclarativePageDirectoryImpl to skip setting pyObjClass for the report definition if it already present, i.e. if already set by the loader activity.

MSGraph email listener enhancements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
Attachments with .eml /.msg extensions were treated as FileAttachments by the MS Graph API and generating a classcastexception. To resolve this, a check has been added to identify the attachment along with content type so .eml will be correctly recognized. In addition, the MSGraph email listener functionality related to converting from Graph to MIME message has been enhanced around the 'TO' and 'CC' recipients in a MIME message and for parsing nested attachments in Item attachment for addition to MsgraphMessage.

ExpandStream called before Page-Merge-Into to ensure correct merge
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
The Page-Merge-Into method was not merging the source page into the target page when the use case was run without tracer, but merged properly when run with tracer. This was traced to an intermittent issue with expanding properties, and has been resolved by calling expandStream on the source property if it is unknown prior to checking if the source and target properties are merge compatible.

Oracle handling updated for upgrade DDL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
DDL generated for a Pega upgrade displayed the error "ALTER TABLE PC_ASSIGN_WORKBASKET DROP CONSTRAINT GETNEXTWORKINWORKGROUP" when trying to install. This was traced to a change made by Oracle for optimization, and has been resolved by updating the handling for primary key constraint and the corresponding index name.

Methods updated to prevent rounding of JSON response decimals
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When using a REST connector for an outside service, precision numbers in the JSON response were being rounded or truncated when parsed for the DataSource page. For example, a JSON message with a value like 6045.900000000000000001 became rounded to 6045.9. This happened in both methods used for fast and non-fast processing, and has been resolved by treating the decimal value as a string and then creating a BigDecimal object out of it to avoid truncation in the fast processing scenario, and by adding mapper.enable(DeserializationFeature.USE_BIG_DECIMAL_FOR_FLOATS); for the non-fast processing scenario.
