Question Wizard import will downcase answer types to match system requirements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
The Question Upload wizard would not create a File type question while using a survey template. The template has a column Answer mode in which accepts an input of the type of answer expected, but in this use case "File" was given instead of "file", resulting in the question being created using the default values. To resolve this, during the import process when the system parses the file and gets the contents from the data using the pzSetdefaultValuesforQuestions DT, mode values will be explicitly set to lowercase.

Survey Question Page Radio/Dropdown Button retains value
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
After creating an Interaction from the portal and selecting "Survey", the Survey Question Page using a Radio button/Dropdown button as Question did not retain the value after a selection was made. This has been resolved by modifying the refreshSurvey method in pzsurvey_ui_userscript.js to work with an Ajax container.

Updates for nested "Append And Map To"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nested actions "Append And Map To" in Data Transforms were producing incorrect results when offline. This was traced to all operations being performed on the Page List which was on first level of nesting, which was caused by changing the Data Transform into JavaScript form for offline use. The JavaScript form of DataTransform uses variable the "targetListObj" to represent the Page List, and this same name was reused regardless of the "Append And Map To" nesting. An additional problem was seen with the "Update Page" Data Transform action when used with conjunction with a nested "Append And Map To" action: the action assumes that top level Pages exists, but "Update Page" did not create them. This caused the "Append And Map To" action to fail. To resolve this, the "Append And Map To" action will use suffixed variable names to reference nested PageLists, and "Update Page" will create the Page if it doesn't exist.

User lookup list correctly populated when using # tag
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When typing '#ANewTag @' in Pulse, the user lookup list was not shown. Using '#ExistingTag @' worked as expected. This was a missed use case in work done to improve the performance of pzJquerymentionsInput by restricting REST calls, and has been resolved.

External Cassandra nodes listed in DDS cluster
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Nodes of an external Cassandra cluster were not listed in the DDS cluster except for the first one in the host list, and when the “only” listed Cassandra node was restarted, the status on the DDS cluster LP did not become “NORMAL” afterwards. In addition, even though other C* nodes were up and running, the external Cassandra cluster was reported as unreachable. This was an unintended side effect of work done on the landing page to reflect the real state of the nodes after some were killed and restarted, and has been corrected by refining the equals() and hashCode() methods for DDS member info in order to better differentiate the external Cassandra nodes.

IH summaries working with external Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Summaries were not working for external Cassandra. This was an issue with the IH summary component using the aggregated dataset as a reference, and this fix contains several components to improve this function. An issue where the IH aggregates dataset does not materialize when DDS is external Cassandra has been resolved by modifying the code that checks the DDS availability. A filter that was used to match “” did not work when pre-aggregation is off : this was due to the IH Browse operation being done outside of a DF context, and has been fixed. The IH Summary shape not working properly in a strategy if it referenced an aggregate dataset with pxInteractionID as part of the group-by properties was traced to an issue with it generating a pxInteractionID value when executing the strategy, and has been resolved by excluding pxInteractionID from the group keys in the IH Summary shape.

CEP bucket size increased to 1 minute
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Frequent DSM Data Flow Errors were observed in production nodes with very high event rates. This was traced to the default bucket size for CEP being 1 second for a 31 day window, which was not sufficient to handle high volume use which may create an event strategy window large enough to hit the Cassandra column size limit. In order to resolve this, the default bucket size has been increased from 1 second to 1 minute.

Modified VBD insertion logic to improve handling
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
An issue with not being able to launch an additional VDB node was traced to two processes inserting into VBD with different field signatures and triggering unnecessary object creation. This was amplified when adding a second node as the objects were serialized. To resolve this, the insertion logic has been modified to avoid creating new data container/field descriptors after a new field is included, as well as a measurement with smaller data type than previous container.

Filter added to ensure correct context for proposition strategy rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Given two applications (ex App1 and App2) hosted on the same domain where App2 was built on App1, trying to create a strategy rule in App1 and do a test run strategy using the propositional data component which internally uses App2 propositions generated the error: Failed to find a 'RULE-DECISION-DECISIONPARAMETERS' with the name 'GROUP_2'. There were 1 rules with this name in the rulebase, but none matched this request." Investigation showed the strategy was using the PropositionNoCacheUtils and PropositionTools java classes to load the propositions during run time. In these classes, the group classes were browsed from the db irrespective of the application context, causing the strategy run to fail as it was not able to access the decision data rules in other applications which shared the same SR class as the current application. To resolve this, a filter has been added to the PropositionNoCacheUtils and PropositionTools java classes to filter out the groups that are not in the current application context.
