CSP policy added to login page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
CSP policy was not being added to the login page as expected. This was due to the application context not yet being established for the session because the login had not occurred yet. To resolve this, the functionality has been enhanced to set the CSP headers for the login page by getting the application list information from pxSecuritySnapshot.

Search initialization logic updated to ensure consistent node member information
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
The search function was intermittently failing across nodes after restart. Investigation showed that this was due to inconsistent results from search initialization cluster logic using Hazelcast APIs to tell whether or not a given node was part of a Pega cluster. To resolve this, the logic has been updated to rely on ES APIs instead of Hazelcast cluster membership to determine offline nodes.

Removed unneeded TrackSecurityChanges warning for Field Level Auditing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
When creating a TrackSecurityChanges data transform for Field level Auditing and providing the text in the source, the system produced warnings such as "The source 'Number of covered objects' is ambiguous and is being treated as text. If it is a page, add it to the Pages and Classes tab." These warnings were generated by pzIsAmbiguousSource when a rule modified to check for Top.pyModelName did not equal pyTrackSecurityChanges. Because the way the system processes the data transform for field level auditing is not the same as that used for the usual data transform, this warning is not necessary. To avoid confusion, the system has been updated with a check so warnings of the source being ambiguous will be ignored when the DT name is pyTrackSecurityChanges.

Recent Content updated to accept more than one URL attachment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
An error was seen when opening Recent Content and attempting to attach more than one URL. Investigation showed that Assign Page was getting cleared after adding the first URL attachment so it did not have a page value available for the second use. The logic has now been modified so the value will not be cleared in the Recent Content gadget preprocessing activity.

Spinner wheel dom correctly cleared after incomplete case closure
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3

Added support for sorting by field value instead of localized value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
In a datapage-sourced dropdown with 'group by functionality' enabled in ascending order, the values were being sorted according to their localized value and not their field value. This was a difference between templatized and non-templatized handling, and has been resolved by adding the ability to sort the group label by field value in the templatized UI.

Strict checking inserted to better handle database keywords in string constant
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
After upgrade, a report was failing with the message "Rule Alias Function cannot reference a SQL function that performs a subquery." This was traced to the report having a function alias used in the columns which compared two strings and returned another string (constant - static value) if the condition was met. However, in two of the returned string constants there was the word "select", which is a keyword in all database languages. Even though the word "select" was a referred part of a string constant, the system treated it as a keyword and tried to perform a subquery within the Function Alias because ABAC was enabled. The report only exhibited this behavior post-upgrade because while ABAC defaulted to disabled in previous versions, it was changed to default to being enabled beginning with v8.1. To resolve this and create more robust backwards compatibility, a more strict check for subquery validation will be performed when ABAC is enabled which will parse and check whether the RAF has the standard 'select from' clause syntax of SQL.

Resolved OOM error for system scan
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
In some installations, performing a system scan would cause an Out Of Memory Error. This was traced to the process used to de-serialize the catalog metadata, which caused the unzipped version of the catalog (containing data going back to v6 releases) to grow to 125 MB. To resolve this issue the system will make use of streams, but as that still requires the entire catalog object to be available, the system will also cull redundant objects from the hotfix catalog. Going forward, platform-specific catalog files will be created to minimize their size and improve efficiency.

Updated retry for context registraton
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3
The system was intermittently hanging after importing zipped files. Investigation showed that Batch threads were becoming stuck in AuthorizationContextManagerImpl.setSpecializations() due to a 'while' loop in setSpecializations that was seeking to register the new context. To resolve this, logic has been added which will try to register up to 10 times. If for any reason it can't register, the system will just return the unregister LAC. The check before deregister has also been enhanced and now will only deregister if the new context and the current context are different. It will not call register if the current context and the new context are the same.
