Enhancements for upgrading in multi-tenant environment
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
Some muti-tenant installations use the same applications or rule instances with the same pzInsKeys for different tenants. This can cause upgrades to time out due to the system fetching all pzInsKeys (which will have duplicates) and working with them in a default batch size of 500 each over 4 threads. This led to the same keys potentially being allocated and processed in different threads, resulting in duplicate processing and timeouts. This has been resolved by updating the select query to fetch the tentantid and pzInskeys in the MT system to avoid duplicate work in multiple threads. In addition, running Generate Declarative indexes fetches the pzinskeys and generates indexes for each record, but before generating, the existing index for the record is deleted and then inserted. Because the delete query to generate the index was not tenant aware, all of the records for the key were deleted for the tenants for that key, but the new index was created only in one tenant. This has been resolved by enhancing the DELETE query to be tenant aware, which will avoid deleting the indexes for all the tenants given an index key.

Resolved buffer overflow for Migration loadDatabase
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
A Rules upgrade failed in the Migration step at loadDatabase stage, involving the move of all the table records from old schema to new schema. This was traced to the inability of Migration to load blob of sizes more than 100 MB, and has been resolved by updating Migration to use byte[] to read the blob content with the help of metadata that contains blob length.

TableRenameUtil hashing improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
During index name generation, the algorithm that was responsible for index name uniqueness was sometimes insufficient and cerated a loop condition. This has been resolved by using a stronger hash algorithm and refactoring the code that could result in a loop.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
An out of memory error was traced to SearchInventoryImpl infinitely recursing over a clipboard property, where the child property referenced a parent property and resulted in an endless loop. This has been resolved with the addition of a depth check to ensure that the search does not recurse infinitely.

Added handling to force text area maxlength in Microsoft Edge
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When using the Microsoft Edge browser, it was possible to continue entering characters in excess of the value set for the 'max characters' property. Investigation showed that the Microsoft Edge browser does not honor the maxlength attribute on text area; to resolve this, logic has been added to restrict the user from entering extra characters above the max limit.

Focus persists for embedded Tab Group layout with section refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When a Tab Group Layout was configured with multiple sections using multiple input elements including one with a 'Refresh this section' action, using the Tab key to reach the input element, make a change, and hit Tab again caused the focus to reset to the top input element. This has been corrected.

Updated handling for checkboxes configured in the header
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
After configuring multiple checkboxes where each checkbox had a different property and different DT as action set and then using them as a single column header in the table, the on-change of any one checkbox caused all of the checkboxes to be checked or unchecked in the column header. This was caused by the pega.ui.grid.prototype.checkAllIfInHeader, which selects or unselects all checkboxes present in table (header +. body) based on checkbox status in header. However, the header row should not be part of the iterator during this function, and the necessary update has been made.

Resolved "maximum limit for pending changes" error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When attempting to create a work object in a custom way using doCreateNewCase from the Smart investigate layer by using the RMButtonWithoughtWorkCaseNGP section, a popup showed the error “You have reached maximum limit for pending changes. Please commit/cancel one or more changes to continue.” The error did not occur when creating the case using the out-of-the-box Create New Work action. This was traced to the custom configuration creating work object threads that were not destroyed after the work item is closed. To resolve this, handling has been updated for passing dynamiccontainerID and contentID parameters for OpenWorkByURL case. Note that the pzUpdateActionInfo activity must be called in any custom activity before the actual activity is invoked.

Support added for resuming scenario test recording
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When running an automation recording, a refresh of the harness was hiding the recording panel. When it was reopened, the panel was not responsive but the recording process was still running. This was traced to a scenario where the portal harness had a second harness running on it (such as a normal case worker would have) and the "Render As Single Page" was not checked: clicking a button with an action like "create new work" caused the whole harness (top) to be refreshed, resulting in the panel issues. To resolve this an enhancement has been added which will maintain the Scenario test recording when browser refresh happens, and recording can be restarted by clicking the toolbar option.
