Enhancements added for mail handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Numerous EmailClientRuntimeExceptions were seen during listener execution. This was traced to a null folder name in the email client configuration that was expected during listener processing, and investigation showed it had been created during a race condition in creating configuration objects for sender and receiver. Handling has been added to address this conflict. As part of addressing the related issues, enhancements have been made to enable the email listener configuration to utilize all available nodes in a cluster to improve scalability for high load conditions and increased ability to process more messages per hour.

Enhancements added for using AWS file repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Enhancements have been added to improve the use of AWS file storage: - Logging for AWS SDK connection metrics can be activated on a per-repository basis, either through the ruleform or through the DSS `storage/class/:/enableMetrics`. - INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter to periodically output averages of recorded metrics for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled, or INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSRequestMetricCollector to output recorded metrics on every client call for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled. - The interval at which PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter logs metrics at can be configured with the DASS `storage/AWSSDK/metricReportingInterval`. This DASS is a system-wide setting, and not a per-repository setting. The default reporting interval is 90 seconds, and metric collection is disabled on all repositories by default.

Context retained during nested automation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
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.

Support added for referencing Page Group property inside of strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Referencing a page property under Page Group property inside a strategy resulted in a runtime error of ClassCasting: "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to com.pega.decision.strategy.ssa.runtime.ClipboardPage". The issue was traced to the SSA optimized code for the GetPage SSA assuming that the GetPage SSA would only have another page as a parent. In order to handle the above scenario where GetPage would have a GetPageCollection as a parent and return a List of ClipboardPages, a GetPage function has been applied over each entry in the results of the GetPageCollection SSA using a MapAction SSA. Some optimizations will be applied in cases where the GetPageCollection has only one entry, which will replace the MapAction with a simple GetPage action.

Flexible decoding for mported files
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When importing CSV files, special characters appeared as ??? instead of "éèù ...". This was traced to the system using UTF-8 as default format to support all character sets including multi-byte (accented) characters while Excel uses ANSI encoding, creating an encoding incompatibility. To resolve this, an update has been made so the system will read the encoding from the source/property and pass it to InputStreamReader instead of always hard coding UTF-8.

Unit testing validation relaxed for external input strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
When trying to test a strategy, the testing transform had to exist in the same ruleset/version as the strategy or it would not resolve. Investigation showed that because the artifacts were in a different ruleset and version build on top of the application that the testing strategy belongs to, validation failed because it was using the platform based ruleset validation. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by relaxing the validation for external input strategy so it does not take into account the ruleset and version of it. This same change has been applied for referenced data transforms.
