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.

Search Landing Page handling added for email addresses containing hyphens
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When an e-mail addresse containing a hyphen was entered for the Automated Search Alert functionality, the validation error "Please Enter Valid Email Address(s)" appeared. For example, [email protected] was not accepted. To resolve this, the regexp function used for the email validator has been updated.

Support expanded for postgres versions and logging improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
While trying to import data into the Data Type Tables using a CSV file and selecting the 'Add or Update' option, an error appeared and the import failed. Using 'Add or Delete' worked as expected. This was traced to the import of data failing for postgres version 10.x because UseMerge for postgres did not use merge if the version of Postgres was not 9. Support has now been added for versions of Postgres higher than 9 in SQLGeneratorPostgres.useMerge(), and logging has been enhanced to improve triaging issues such as this.

Cleanup enhanced for long pyEditElement names
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
A pyEditElement error relating to decision data was seen multiple times in a stack trace. Research showed that while the utility worked as expected for decision data rules with names of less than 30 characters, the pyEditElement section was truncated the name for the decision data. This meant that decision data with the name SampleIssueandSampleGroupTwosalkdjkightntbmkblffvfvfv would be saved as SampleIssueandSampleGroupT for the pyEditElement section. Because of this, the utility failed the match and did not clean up the pyEditElement section. To resolve this, the cleanup utility has been updated to handle pyEditElement sections of decision data with longer names. Additional logging has also been added to improve debugging.

Real time processing picks up correct datetime for Capture Response records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
A Realtime Data flow for the Capture Response flow was configured with a strategy shape set to load previous decisions within the past 7 days. Once this Realtime DF was started, attempting to Capture Response for decisions made after that startup timepoint did not work. This was traced to the InteractionID being written with global properties for the datetimes, and has been resolved by making those datetime properties local so the start and end time are not cached and the time range is calculated based on "now”.

Handling added for prolonged Heartbeat Update Queries
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After restart, the pyFTSIncrementalIndexer queue size had hundreds of thousands of entries even though it was empty prior to the restart. Investigation traced this to a job scheduler that checked all the database connections everyday at 1 EST by using a list that contained some connections which did not exist. Checking those invalid connections caused other update queries to queue and wait, resulting in the update heartbeat query taking longer than its default beat. This caused a Split Brain issue wherein other nodes considered the long-executing node to be dead and triggered a rebalance while the node itself continued to execute partitions thinking that it was healthy. This caused duplicate processing of records. To resolve this, a fail safe has been added: while updating heartbeat in Service Registry, nodes will enter safe mode when the update query is taking longer than the default beat.
