Valid from Pega Version 7.1.4
The pxPostMessageAPI now supports text messages, file attachments, and hyperlinks. You can programmatically update Pulse streams using this API from activities or SLA rules.
Quickly create ad-hoc cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.4
The My Cases work area on the Case Manager portal introduces a Quick Create feature that lets users create cases and assign tasks that are not included in the processing of business cases (instances of case types defined in the Cases Explorer). For example, a manager can create a case and a task to set up a phone conference with her staff, or a reminder to enroll in an online seminar. Users can also set up a series of tasks to represent all they work they need to do to accomplish a specific goal.
Tomcat log files moved to work directory
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.2
For Tomcat application server users, the default path for PRPC logs has been changed to the "work" directory for Catalina. For example:
<tomcat>\work\Catalina\localhost\prweb
This directory can be cleaned up during administration. To avoid loss of files, you can redirect logging to a different directory after installation:
- Navigate to the <tomcat-home>\webapps\prweb\WEB-INF\classes directory.
- Open the prlogging.xml file.
- Locate the "appender" definitions section that contains the "@{web.tmpdir}" string
- Update the FileNamePattern values to point to the new directory.
For more details, refer to the “Change the default path to PRPC logs” section in the Tomcat installation guide for your database.
