Changelog cleanup added for de-optimized properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Unwanted optimization was automatically added to properties for the Application-Work-Casetype class created using the wizard in the App Studio. Attempts to remove the optimization did not work: the property advance tab was showing the optimized classes details even after deleting and recreating the property. When a property is optimized the system adds entries to pr_changelog for the list of classes it has optimized. When the property was deleted, the pr_changelog was not cleared. This was a missed usecase, and has been resolved by overriding the Cleanup activity at Rule-Obj-Property class to delete the pr_changelog entry associated with that if it is present.

Initialized entryName for light weight inventory instance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When running deployment on a new pipeline created for the next minor version, once the deployment process got to the point of showing aged updates, the “view aged updates” came back as blank screen. Viewing the logs showed the aged update elements come back but were missing the pyName associated with them. Investigation showed that the system did not have support for setting the mEntryName for LightweightInventoryInstance objects. This has been resolved by adding a junit to ensure that getEntryName() doesn't return as null and should be equal to pzInsKey.

Hot Fix Manager updated to use installation order for schema import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Schema changes were not being imported during the hot fix manager DL import process. Investigation showed this was due to hotfixes in the DL being iterated over from newest to oldest, causing older hotfixes to replace the value added to a map by the newer. To resolve this, the system has been updated to use hotfix install order, which considers selected and dependent hotfixes, rather than ordering newest to oldest. This ensures that newer table representations will override older rather than the other way around.

Implicit privileges do not generate warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
RARO with implicit privileges was generating warnings that affected the compliance score. There is a particular format for declaring implicit privileges. i.e. Classname:ruleName, and the system has been updated with a check for this so implicit privileges will not be adding any guardrail warnings.

JDBC password handling corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
After upgrade, a JDBC database connection on WebSphere 8.5/Oracle 11G indicated success on test connection, but a username/password "connection could not be obtained" error was thrown when attempting to save the connection. This was due to the handling of the encrypted password, and has been fixed.

WebSphere deployment guide updated to clarify scope settings
Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2
The WebSphere Deployment Guide has been updated to indicate that the scope must be "server". If this is not set correctly in a split schema installation, the defaultSchema namespace bindings are defined at the cell level and will not be picked up at start, and the database user in the jdbc/PegaRULES datasource will not have the necessary privileges to run the system. Please see WAS deployment guides on the PDN for further information.
