## Brazil Patch 2

Cross-scope access security enforcement for the getRefRecord\(\) JavaScript API is improved and the default behavior of the glide.sys.fencing.restricted\_caller\_access.invalidation\_mode system property changed in this patch.

### What's changed

-   **Improved cross-scope access security enforcement for getRefRecord\(\) JavaScript API**

    The cross-scope security mechanism has been strengthened, supporting consistent application of authorization rules. For more information, see [KB3142985: Cross-Scope Access Security Enhancement \(Glide Element API: getRefRecord\(\)\)](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB3142985).

-   **[Default value of glide.sys.fencing.restricted\_caller\_access.invalidation\_mode is SCRIPT\_ENGINE](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/r_AvailableSystemProperties.md)**

    The default value of the glide.sys.fencing.restricted\_caller\_access.invalidation\_mode system property changed from DB\_LISTENER to SCRIPT\_ENGINE. When the property is set to SCRIPT\_ENGINE, and an update set contains a script with changes, the script engine doesn't invalidate associated RCA records. To enable a database listener that monitors update set commits on source code tables and invalidates RCA records at the time of the commits, set the value to DB\_LISTENER.


## Brazil Patch 1

Troubleshoot MCP server connections and tool calls from the system logs.

### What's new

-   **[MCP server logging](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/intelligent-experiences/view-mcp-server-logs.md)**

    Troubleshoot MCP server connections and tool calls by enabling logging for MCP servers and reviewing the system logs.


## Brazil Early Availability

Enhancements to AI indicators, HTML editor upgrade to TinyMCE 8.3.0, improved JavaScript engine features, and new configuration options for choice fields and exports.

### What's new

-   **[Set up cross-instance communication](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/multi-instance-setup-overview.md)**

    Run a scan to discover non-production instances related to a production instance and connect instances using the Multi-Instance Setup application \(sn-app-amf\). Multi-Instance Setup supports cross-instance communication with other ServiceNow applications and provides a single interface to view and monitor connections.

-   **AI indicators now visible in Core UI lists**

    Rows in Core UI lists that are created or modified by an AI agent now display an AI indicator. The indicator clears automatically when a user makes an inline edit to the row, keeping the indicator accurate as data changes.

-   **Caching for repeated metadata queries**

    The platform caches repeated metadata queries to optimize processing of metadata requests.

-   **[Monitor daily slow-pattern trends](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/daily_slow_patterns.md)**

    Track day-over-day trends in slow-pattern data with daily snapshots that automatically identify new or worsening patterns. High-significance changes are highlighted in list views, helping you quickly spot meaningful changes and prioritize investigation efforts. Built-in data retention and filtering keep historical comparisons accurate and relevant for up to 33 days.


### What's changed

-   **[AI indicators updated for form fields](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/intelligent-experiences/platai-ai-indicator-form-fields.md)**

    AI indicators for form fields in Core UI and configurable workspaces now support AI color gradients and have been updated to reflect the latest ServiceNow Otto name and iconography.

-   **[TinyMCE version 8.3.0 upgrade](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/c_UseHTMLFields.md)**

    The HTML editor in Core UI and configurable workspaces is upgraded from TinyMCE version 6.8.2 to version 8.3.0.

-   **[Text pattern configuration in the HTML editor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/configuring-the.md-system-properties-in-tinymce.md)**

    Text patterns in the HTML editor can now be turned on or off using the **glide.ui.html.editor.textpatterns** system property.

-   **[Configurable choice field empty option labels](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/r_AvailableSystemProperties.md)**

    Configure choice fields to display either None or --None-- for empty options using the **glide.ui.choice.display\_none** system property.

-   **[Base cross-scope access on the latest source code updates](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/r_AvailableSystemProperties.md)**

    Control how the system invalidates Restricted Caller Access records when a source code record, such as a script include, in a cross-scope access table is committed in an update set with the glide.sys.fencing.restricted\_caller\_access.invalidation\_mode system property.

    **Note:** In the Brazil Early Availability and Brazil Patch 1 releases, the default value is DB\_LISTENER. Beginning with the Brazil Patch 2 release, the default value is SCRIPT\_ENGINE.

-   **[ECMAScript 2021 \(ES12\) JavaScript mode supports additional scripting features](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/scripts/javascript-engine-feature-support.md)**

    Use additional scripting features in applications or scripts that use the ECMAScript 2021 \(ES12\) JavaScript mode.

-   **[JavaScript engine updated with changes from the Rhino engine](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/scripts/updates-javascript-engine.md)**

    The JavaScript engine on the ServiceNow AI Platform was updated to incorporate changes from the open-source Rhino JavaScript engine.

-   **[Configure row threshold for exports to Excel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/c_ExportLimits.md)**

    Configure the row limit for exports to Excel using the properties **glide.export.xls.max.rows.per.sheet** and **glide.export.xlsx.max.rows.per.sheet**.
