Reusable assets default option populated correctly for new application
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When creating an application with at least two case types where each case type belonged to different class groups and pointed to different tables but were configured to have only one work pool, operator work pool values for pxThread and pxRequestor did not correctly reflect the different access group settings. This was traced to the inheritance of default values when the portal pyPortal.pyDesktopType was set to Composite, which caused the system to always take the value from the work pools in the application whether or not it was the same value as specified. A check has now been added so that the system will only default to using the value from the work pool if no value has been specified.

Exception handling added for upgraded custom decision tables
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, the status fail message "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator" appeared with a blue screen in the Run window when attempting to run a Decision table from Actions-> Run option. This impacted the ability to create unit test cases. Analysis showed the issue occurred for any decision table where "Evaluate All rows" was enabled and list properties were used in Actions if there was no value for the list property after the execution of decision table. This was traced to a NullPointerException in a RunRuleFromPage activity in a customized in PUnit ruleset, and was caused by having list properties in the actions of a decision table that had not been populated during rule execution. Exception handling has been added to resolve this.

Application quality page retains info on reopen
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When the application quality page was accessed for the first time the page displayed all the data properly, but if it was closed and then opened again all the counts were blank. This was traced to an issue with converting the date from the client to the database, and was seen when the Oracle database had date filed as key and type date. The issue did not occur if the type was varchar2. To resolve this, the system will use obj-open-by-handle instead of obj-open while fetching the details of AQD.

Restore delegated rules short description header
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
For delegated rules like SLA/Correspondence, the short description was not getting displayed in the header. This was an unintended side effect of work done on automation rule capabilities, and has been resolved by restoring the layout visibility condition pzDelegateHeader in pzRuleFormKeysAndDescription.

Manual value group addition support available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In a test case created for a data transform containing a value group property, that value group property could be added by clicking the + sign in the left pane of the test case, but a value group property could not be added manually by clicking the add row button. This has been resolved by adding support for manually adding value list/value groups. The activity steps which were using @java function have also now been replaced with a getproperty function.

Save Button for Delegated rules is displayed correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
The save button for delegated rules was displayed in a truncated shape. This has been corrected by removing the split-left style from all of the buttons that are intended to be standalone and not have a drop-down actions menu.

Added workaround to handle HiddenPropertiesToIgnore when a page is in Read Only mode
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
A 'WrongModeException' was generated while trying to use the Data Transform pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore to remove system properties from page. When the Datapage was set to Editable/Savable mode, the Activity ran without an error and executed the Data transform. When the Datapage was in Read only mode, the error occurred. This was traced to a process that previously was allowed to set a page to an empty string, but which was removed during recent work. To resolve this, four instances of pxHiddenPropertiesToIgnore that included Single Page Value properties have been updated by moving them to the bottom of the Data Page and changing them to an "Update Page" from a "Set".

UpgradeOnOpen updated to use property set
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, using the revalidate & save wizard on MapValue rules (Rule-Obj-MapValue) generated null pointer exceptions in the tracer file and rules failed with bad status. This was traced to changes made in the Java step of UpgradeOnOpen that used the getReference() method, and has been resolved by updating the UpgradeOnOpen activity in the Rule-obj-Mapvalue class to use property set.

OpenRuleAdvanced updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, the Update Page and Append and Map to step in Data transform was generating the error "No Server connection while giving page name to Target and Source". This was traced to the OpenRuleAdvanced_OverLabel control, and investigation showed that a variable was not being resolved when invoking pzEncryptURLActionString. This has been resolved by updating OpenRuleAdvanced and reimplementing two parameters as well as moving the call of these variables to the beginning of the script. Security has also been improved by moving some of the encryption to SafeUrls.
