Support added for local datacenter only keyspaces for Cassandra
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
In order to support multi-datacenter system (one Pega system) that spans two data centers but avoids the latency of attempting to connect from a node in data center 1 to a Cassandra node in data center 2, an enhancement has been added by way of the system setting dnode/cassandra_local_datacenter_keyspaces which allows specifying only local datacenter keyspaces as comma separated string. The default behavior is not changed.

Node ID correctly transmitted for PEGA0066 Alerts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The PEGA0066 alert containing information about synchronization errors or connection lost did not contain the correct value in the Node ID field, causing PDC to not be able to handle the alerts on mobile. This has been corrected.

Corrected underscores removed from attached filenames
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
As an inadvertent side effect of work done to handle thumbnail image generation for file attachments with special characters, underscores were being removed from the names of all files attached to work objects. To correct this, the code has been refined to remove special characters from the parameter passed to generate thumbnail activity. Special characters will not be removed from the filename.

Corrected SAML SSO logout error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When performing a SAML SSO Logout, an error appeared indicating some artifacts were missing. This was traced to an incorrect NameQualifier being generated with IDP in the logoff request, and has been fixed by modifying the code to include an SPNameQualifier attribute for the NameID element in the logout request. Namespace has been added for logout requests at the parent level instead adding it at each node element.

Added null check to resolve error when using datapage as dropdown source
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The user application was hanging with the browser console error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input" when using Dropdown controls with Datapage as a source in conjunction with parameterized datapages to create a cascading second dropdown. This did not happen when using any other data sources for the same control dropdown. This has been resolved by adding a null check at the reloadcell response.

LegacyToReduxConverter modified to resolve readonly error for hybrid data pages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When a clipboard page or page list was added to data page backed by RD, the data page was becoming read only and not allowing pyRowsSelected to be modified. The issue was in redux design. If a datapage source was configured as a report definition, the resultant page was a flat data provider in redux design. Therefore the pyRowSelected setting was allowed even if the data page was readonly. But when in post load activity a normal page or page list was added to the data page, the structure of the data page did not remain as a flat data provider, it became a hybrid structure and the entire property became readonly and thereafter did not allow setting pyRowSelected to the data page. To resolve this, the class LegacyToReduxConverter has been modified to handle the case when a page or page list is added to flat data providers.

pzSendEmail returned to previous behavior of sending separate emails to work parties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After upgrade, a change in behavior was seen when using the pzSendEmail activity. When pzSendEmail was called to send emails to work parties, a single email is sent to all recipients instead of separate emails to each recipient as it did in earlier versions. The SendSimpleEmail activity accepts a SendDiscreteMails parameter, the pzSendEmail activity has 'Pass current parameter page' checked so the default value for the SendDiscreteMails parameter was not used. This was a backwards compatibility error, and has been corrected by setting the SendDiscreteMails parameter to true by default in the pzSendEmail activity.

Resolved issue with PRAuth handoff to SAMLAuth
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When attempting to access a Portal with PRAuth, a null pointer exception was being generated instead of the system redirecting to SAMLAuth. This was traced to httpAPI.getAccessGroup() returning null when a DSS authentication/redirectguests/default was set to true, and has been resolved by fetching the access group from the thread instead of the HttpAPI.

Removed automated cleanup of old DSS entries to resolve memory issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
VBD was issuing an expensive query while attempting to clean up old DSS entries. The old entries were dynamically created with node ID as part of the setting key (vbd/pulse/{nodeid}, and vbd/cluster/{nodeid}). The cleanup logic attempts to get the list of all matching keys to delete by iterating the list of system settings and grabbing the ones that match these patterns. On some systems, there are enough system settings in the DB that it resulted in a memory issue. To avoid this issue, the automated cleanup process has been removed.

Added ignorecase to correct authorization issue for username in all capitals
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
It was not possible to delete a case note or attachment while logged in with a user ID containing all capital letters. This has been corrected by changing the equals comparison of .pxCreateOperator and pxRequestor.pyUserIdentifier to equalsIgnoreCase in CanDeleteAttachments access whens, HaveAttachmentDeletePrivileges when rule, pxHaveAttachmentSpecificAccess RUF, and HaveAttachmentSpecificAccess RUF.
