Special character handling added to filters for table sourced with parameterized RD
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
Filters were not working on a table when sourced with a report definition which accepted a parameter value containing special characters (Eg: S&P). This has been resolved by using StringUtils.reversibleCrossScriptingFilter in the pzGetGridColUniqueValues activity to allow filters to contain special characters.

Explicit parent added for descendants in subreport to correct summary
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When using a Report Definition with a Summarize column and a subreport with join class, it was not considering implementation class work objects. As a result, the prepared values were only partially computed. This was traced to the SubReport in SetQuery not having reference to a parent for the descendants classes, and has been resolved by explicitly setting the parent value.

Out of memory condition resolved for BIX extraction
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
A node was going down automatically during execution of a BIX Extract rule when working with old objects. Investigation showed this was related to an out of memory error: the work object had nested page lists, and when one of the page lists contained a propertylist which contained more records, the system was trying to add entries to the LinkedList if any properties were missing the reference during extraction. Because LinkedList allowed duplicates, it filled with enough errors to cause the out of memory condition. To resolve this, LinkedList has been replaced with LinkedHasSet, which does not allow duplicates.

Logic updated to allow page property and declare index with the same name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
A Property which was in a page list which in turn was embedded in a Page was not visible in the Report Browser. This was traced to the two properties sharing the same name, and was caused by a check which ensured only entries with unique names were added. In order to support this configuration, logic has been added to pzAddPropListForClass_TreeGrid such that if a page property and declare index share the same name, they are both added to the tree grid.

Added handling for missing deleted/report shortcut for drilldown
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Whenever “Report Details” for a drilldown report without category was clicked, a Flow Action Error was generated. This was due to a missing Report shortcut normally stored in the Report Definition, and has been resolved by modifying pzPreProcessReportDetails to handle the edge case of a shortcut not present/deleted for a drill-down report.

DSS added for handling missing attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When an S3 repository was configured as storage, some cases were not coming up in search and exception errors were seen in logs for a deleted attachment after every system restart/re-indexing of the search. Investigation showed these case objects were in the broken queue for pyFTSIncrementalIndexer due to a null pointer error encountered when indexing the attachment, and that the attachments were available in the repository but could not be read from the attachment repository during indexing. To resolve this, a new DSS setting has been added which allows selecting one of two behaviors: - Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = true : broken item is generated, but with a meaningful error message. This is the default behavior - Pega-SearchEngine indexing/distributed/fail_on_missing_attachment_file = false: case is indexed, but without the problematic attachment. Error message is printed out to the logs.

Parameter added to prevent name localization in Dev Studio Reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Running the DataTableEditorReport against a customer table translated names that matched localized values, such as "Mr. Block" became "Mr. Sperren" when the locale was set to de_DE even though the property was marked as "Do not localize" in UI Controls in the report definition filter. To resolve this, the parameter 'pyskiplocalization' has been added for use in the RRFilters_logic and while displaying the select Values popup.

Improved performance for data flow runs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Nodes were intermittently going into safe mode after a service registry heartbeat failure. Investigation found that some of the activities were performing an Obj-Browse that invoked report definition logic to call the database classmap. This has been resolved by modifying the implementation for the initialization and caching of list of classes in a table.

Performance improvements for database queries and archiving
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
In order to improve the performance of database queries, repetitive unnecessary database calls have been removed, archival queries have been simplified, and diagnostic metrics were added. Optional batch requestors have been added to all archival services with their own DSS settings to allow processing more cases in parallel. It is recommended to create 2 additional indexes to help with the archival process. The indexes will be on:pegadata.pr_metadata (pyisparent, pyobjclass, pyarchivestatus) INCLUDE (pyinskey); pegadata.pr_metadata (pyisparent, pyarchivestatus) INCLUDE (pyinskey);
