Local user lookup modifed to use requestor level data page to improve performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In a system with many users (over 40k), attempting to search for a user to send a private message was taking an excessive amount of time. Analysis found that all of the users were being loaded at once in a page list of type Code-Pega-List. This led to errors indicating the Page List property had more elements than the specified threshold, but pagination could not be added as the activity and RD are final. To improve performance, this process has been modified to use a data page at the requestor level instead.

Resolved loop causing search to fail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
After upgrade, searching for a case caused node failure. This was traced to a system loop when trying to remove duplicate workpool classes and has been resolved by updating the pyPopulateWorkPoolsAndClassesForTagsSearch activity to remove extra looping on workpool classes in step 3. In addition, a new 'when' rule pyIsTagSearchEnabled has been added: the pySearchWrapper activity will only search tags when this rule is true.

Added more error handling in pzCreateThumbnail
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
In activity pzCreateThumbnail, a null pointer error was generated at step 2. This was traced to the value of originalImage being null even though there was no error in the image file itself, and has been resolved by adding an error check .

Security added to retrieving operator list by URL extension
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
It was possible to append information to the application URL which allowed an unauthenticated user to find a list of operators. This has been corrected, and will now result in the message "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator."

Page cleanup processes updated to facilitate Pulse Task creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Attempting to create a Pulse Task in an assignment resulted in a "The Operation completed successfully, but returned no content" screen after clicking submit. This was traced to an incorrect usage of createworkpage. To resolve this, the system has been updated so that before calling createworkpage, a page-remove will be done so createworkpage will not clean the assignment page.

Synchronization continuation updated so mobile attachments properly preview
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Clicking on attachments in mobile would open them if the attachment had just happened, but otherwise would not open them at all. This was traced to an issue with Synchronization continuation: the page was properly loaded from database but its content was not used to fill the named OfflinePackage page (which contains only the search keys). This has been corrected by replacing the empty page with the one loaded from the database.

Setting added to allow commas in bulk upload survey questions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4
Questions uploaded in bulk to Survey Designer were delimited by comma, potentially causing an issue when an option itself contains a comma. Because this is a hard-coded Excel template value, this has been addressed with the addition of an extension where delimiter values can be configured and overridden.

Mobile app language remains consistent after data sync
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
When using a Field Service Mobile App where the locale of all workers was set to nl_NL, the UI was intermittently flipping from NL to EN and and back again. This was traced to the locale of the requestor (field worker) being lost during synchronization of the mobile app data to the server, causing the UI to fall back to the default value of EN. This has been resolved by ensuring the requestor always uses the chosen locale for the operator.

Mobile logging updated for data page required parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After upgrade, the number of warnings increased substantially in the mobile app log file for D_Pages, specifying "Required parameter X for data page X cannot be blank." This was traced to the forced logging related to missing required parameters for Parameterized DataPages during DeltaSyncs. In order to increase the value of the logging, the process has been moved from being called before packaging the Data Page to being printed later in packaging code and set to warn only about any unsupported data page configuration with required parameters.
