Agent tracing handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When attempting to trace agents the error "Unable to trace the agent" appeared on screen. Investigation showed that the data page used by the Tracer was not always available in a thread that was displaying the section, most commonly if the section was using deferred loading. This has been resolved by using a data page available in a thread that opens a Tracer's section.

Locking and classmap improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Threads were getting stuck inside classMap and tableInformationMap, causing nodes to go down.

Resolved parent lock sending child item to broken queue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
esolved parent lock sending child item to broken queueIf the ServiceLevelEvents agent tried to process the queue item for a child case but encountered a lock error because the parent case was locked, the queue item was immediately going to the Broken-Process status instead of re-queueing the item to try again in 15 minutes. If the property was set to 'Copy data from a data page', the item was re-queued. To resolve this, the unwind and forward chain calls have been reversed. A dynamic system setting is available to reset the change.

Modified thread data page cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Some cases were becoming stuck at a particular stage and not proceeding further even though the task in the backend was complete. Investigation traced this to work done that removed declarative pages at the thread level to optimize performance while other clipboard pages were retained, and the issue has been resolved by deleting all thread data pages after every item processed by the agent.
