Refinements made to MarkerNode memory use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Significant memory usage can be observed when data join in strategies are missing the join conditions. E.g., when the primary source in the strategy can have up to 300 or even more propositions, the join without the join condition would perform a cartesian product with possibly up to 400 or even more records returned. This may cause performance degradation. To guard against this, an update has been made that seeks to prevent repetitive markers being accumulated under a MarkerNode while trying not to rely on any implementation of equality and hashCode for individual marker implementations.

Unneeded MBean startup warning removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrade, Catalina logs indicated the error "WARN com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.prpc.service.monitoring.MBeanDSMService - Service DataFlow doesn't implement Monitoring operation". This was due to a flaw in the way the data flow DSM service was initialized in client mode. The exception itself was not a problem and did not impact functionality, but the client initialization has been modified to remove the warning.

Declaratives disabled during startup

Configure view finds existing calculations for properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Modifying a property to ‘calculated: Readonly’ by creating declare expression inside a fieldgroup list (which was created in the data model and refers to a datatype) while adding the fieldgroup list property by selecting from the field in the configure view of a step was not reflected when adding the same list type property inside another step of configure view. Declare expressions were created with page context for embedded fields by default in configure view, but Declare expressions have recently been enhanced and no longer expected to use page contexts. Because Configure view continued to use page contexts, this resulted in calculations that existed not being picked up. This has been resolved by configuring view handling for page list fields specifically to not create new calculations with a page context. Detection of calculations has also been updated to not check for page context to match the recent Declare expression enhancements.

Corrected date display on export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Reports which have visible date and Date time properties or values displayed correctly when viewed in PEGA, but when the data was exported to Excel the values were converted to GMT time. Due to this the date fields (with no time stamp) were showing the date less by one day in Excel. This has been corrected.

Updated logic for delegating when the RARO exists
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When trying to delegate a Data Type, the validation error "Update Record Failed: This record is non-versioned and already exists and can not be moved to a different ruleset" appeared. Because data type delegation is dependent upon the existence of a RARO for the delegated data type, when delegating the ruleset of the RARO to accessgroups with the same roles the code was attempting to update the RARO. Updating the RARO determines if the Ruleset of the RARO is unlocked. If the ruleset is locked, then the logic attempts to select a new ruleset, but the RARO cannot be moved to a new ruleset. To resolve this, the logic has been updated so that if the RARO exists, the system will not try to create a new instance.

Agile Studio correctly embedding attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Attachments were not being included in Agile Studio documents for backlogs and sprints as expected. This was traced to the third-party jar "jsoup", which was converting the parameter PegaDocumentObject to pegadocumentobject, causing a mismatch. This has been resolved by adding a check that will replace the converted name with the correct one.

Related cases of different types properly linked in Case Worker Portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After creating a case of type1 in the Case Worker portal, creating a case of type2 from the first case showed the case ID of the second case in the Related Work section as expected. However, after clicking on the link of the case ID of the second case from the related work section, the second case opened but the case ID of the first case was not shown in the Related work. The cases were correctly associated when the Case Manager portal was used instead. This was traced to the Case Worker clipboard continuing to hold the previous case ID thread, and has been resolved.
