Data sync updated for use with DeferWrite
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrade, attempting a data sync from the client mobile application worked for the first object submission, but the second object failed and stayed in the list. This was traced to finish assignments running back to back when deferWrite was enabled and svcPerformFlow failed to find the assignment. To resolve this, the assignmentHandle will be passed to the activity when calling the pzSetDeferWrite activity from FinishAssignmentActionProcessor.

Resolved Clear Cache error for mobile client
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When attempting to clear local storage while logged into the Mobile Client, the error message "You need to be able to connect to the server in order to clear the storage" appeared. This was traced to the application being configured to disable a user's web session immediately after log in, and was due to the "Clear Cache" functionality failing while attempting an AJAX request to invoke the server's "pzAmIOnline" activity. While there was a workaround of using the check box "Access group requires a connection for portions of the application", this has been resolved by updating the Settings - Clear Cache functionality in order be able to detect if it's online in a different way.

Added handling for mobile SharePoint attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When an application was using SharePoint to store the attachments, adding an attachment in an offline-enabled mobile app and then synching resulted in the mobile app crashing if the user re-logged in and launched the same work object. This was due to the attachment handling. Attachments are downloaded during synchronization and they are base64 encoded: when a mobile phone processes the synchronization response, it decodes the base64 encoded attachment and saves the data in internal storage. In this scenario, attachments retrieved from SharePoint (REST Service) use a base64 conditional encoding that is different than in case Repositories or Pega Database storage. To resolve this, a check has been added to determine whether the base64 text contains newline characters, and if so the text is merged into one line.

IOException handling improved to resolve broken pipe errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Frequent "connection reset by peers" exceptions were being generated and broken-pipe exceptions were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to unhanded IOExceptions on the server side that were a result of the client application not always closing the TCP connection gracefully. To resolve this, error handling for IOExceptions has been improved.

Directory traversal blocked in zip import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
One of the files contained in a zip archive was not deleted from the system after zip import. This was due to the file being created by a third-party archive that included of a directory traversal character that caused it to be inflated outside of the temp directory. To resolve this, a check has been added to that a file with directory traversal characters in its name will not be inflated.

JDBC URL handling added for Oracle over TCPS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
While attempting to upgrade an environment over TCPS, the generateDDL.sh script was failing. The same environment ran without issue on Tomcat with the same URL. Investigation showed the JDBC url was not correctly generated while running the upgrade: in a standard scenario, there will be no spaces in the JDBC URL specified. However, because Oracle can send spaces as part of JDBC URL and cause this issue, an update has been made which will quote the JDBC URL argument for the ant target in setupDDL.xml.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
An out of memory error was traced to SearchInventoryImpl infinitely recursing over a clipboard property, where the child property referenced a parent property and resulted in an endless loop. This has been resolved with the addition of a depth check to ensure that the search does not recurse infinitely.
