Resolved thread deadlock for rules upgrade process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Platform upgrade was getting hung during the rules upgrade process. This was traced to a deadlock related to the conclusion cache entry for a property needing to make a call to declarative cache, where it tried to hold a read-write lock on a resource that was already locked by another thread. This has been resolved by replacing lock with tryLock to avoid deadlock.

Performance improvement for queries on Kafka partitions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Even though there were multiple dataflow nodes available in the cluster, all requests were going to single node and causing system slowness. Investigation showed there was a queue processor rule that included the pxPartitionKey attribute which forced all records to be sent to a single partition by Kafka producers. This attribute has been removed.

ClusterAndDBCleaner repaired
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
An error in the logic order of events caused a compilation error for pyClusterAndDBCleaner, leading to old records created by the system/node utilities to not be automatically removed as expected. This has been corrected.

Cross-site scripting protection added for parameter page properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
An Cross-site scripting vulnerability was seen with the Edge browser when run on visibility on client check was enabled with dynamic layouts and some properties were accessed from parameter page. Because run on visibility on client check is not required in this scenario, is has been removed and the values will be accessed from the server instead.

Obj-Browse will retrieve more than 50 records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After performing multiple skims, a newly added property was not retrieved when an Obj-Browse was performed. In Obj-Browse action, when a class is mapped to an external table and does not contain BLOB column pzpvstream, in a specific case where pxObjClass value is a reference to a parameter, a list of properties mapped to the class explicitly by querying pr4_rule_property table using NativeSQL is fetched. This call by default returns only 50 records: in cases where there are more than 50 properties for an external class, some of the properties from the obj-browse response mapping are therefore missed. To resolve this, the limit of 50 records has been removed from this NativeSQL call.

Added support for imported rules to populate bixreportpage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Extract rules were not holding the filter criteria after upgrade while performing save-as (for the first time) of the imported rules from the previous version. Criteria were held when the filters were created in the new version. This was caused by BIX extracts created in earlier releases (7.x) not having bixreportpage included. When an environment was upgraded to 8.x versions, opening an extract required the bixreportpage to be populated with RD metadata including the filters defined in the actual extract. Although the filters from the original extract were converted to filters that are acceptable by ReportDefinition, they were not being added to bixreportpage on opening the extract. To resolve this, the system has been updated to copy the filters back to bixreportpage on opening the extract in the upgraded environment.

Logging updated for EmailListener and Data-Agent queue items
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
In order to avoid the pr_sys_queue_ftsindexer table being overwhelmed with Data-Admin-Connect-EmailListener and Data-Agent-Queue instances for queued items, the Data-Admin-Connect-EmailListener and Data-Agent-Queue class definitions have been modified to filter queue items to incremental indexing if updates are from system and instance type is data- .

BIX command line support improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Post-upgrade, it was seen that changes to the engine which validate that Data-Admin-DB-Name is not defined multiple times caused the BIX command line extracts to no longer work the same way. In order to improve backwards compatibility, updates have been made to loosen the validation in JdbcConfigurationFactory to always prefer prconfig settings if there are multiple definitions.
