Access Control Policy documentation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The documentation for the ACP rule (https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/security/85/creating-access-control-policy) has been updated to clarify that these rules must be checked in for the policy change to take effect. Access control policies only work when a rule is checked in. Therefore, any changes in a checked out rule will be ignored. When changing or modifying any ABAC policy rules, the rule must be checked out, updated, saved, and checked in for the changes to take effect.

Update Handler will not run during migration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Rolling restart of DataFlow, ADM ,VBD, and Util Tiers failed with a PENDING_JOINING error after an in-place upgrade. This was traced to the logic for the update timing: when nodes start after an upgrade from 7.x to 8.x they will migrate data flow runs. Migration happens on only one node, and while it's in progress the other nodes will wait until migration finishes before they come up. At this point the state of the data flow services will be 'PENDING JOINING'. The issue is that while migrating runs, the Data Flow Update Handler was triggered to validate whether there were nodes available on the service the run belongs to. This call can cause the corresponding data flow service to be initialized, but the call will be blocked since all services wait for the migration to end. This resulted in a deadlock which prevented all nodes from coming up successfully. To resolve this, the process has been updated to skip the update handler during migration to avoid triggering the initialization of client services that are waiting on the migration lock.

DDS service will not run Hazelcast check if external Cassandra is configured
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Services were not responding, and thread dumps seen in the logs indicated that a large number of threads were waiting for one to come back from getting the cluster state for a DSM process. Investigation showed that the threads were waiting for a Hazelcast response about the cluster state. However, since a Hazelcast call is not needed when Pega is configured with external Cassandra, the DDS Service code has been changed to not to check for candidate nodes if configured with external Cassandra cluster.

Corrected calculating propensities
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Several PMML models designed to compare the outcomes to a control dataset experienced an issue where the probability scores in Pega did not match the original control dataset. The PMML model was also tested using KNIME; those results matched Pega but not the original control dataset. Investigation showed that the JPMML evaluator contained outdated code, and the incorrect calculations have been resolved.

DataSet preview will use date instead of datetime
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
While using a DataSet preview functionality, the date appeared as reduced by one day. This has been resolved by parsing date as 'date' instead of 'datetime' to avoid issues with timezone interactions.
