Hazelcast upgraded to resolve node startup issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Post data upgrade, the ADM tier failed to start and the error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Node failed to start!" appeared. This was traced to a dormant bug in Hazelcast 3.11 that caused starting nodes to fail when the Hazelcast master node was shutting down, which was exposed by recent Pega changes made to enable parallel restarts of nodes in Cloud environments. Hazelcast delivered a fix for the parallel restart problem and the hotfixed jar has been merged into the platform.

Resolved Oracle thread deadlock for Merge SQL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
After starting a large cluster and running it for a couple of days, Oracle Deadlocks started to appear due to resource contention during MERGE SQL execution on the PR_INDEX_REFERENCE database table. The "ORA-00060: deadlock detected while waiting for resource" ERROR occur continuously every 10 minutes during the "MasterForNewAgents" Daemon run. All JVMs are impacted by the ERROR/Deadlock. Investigation showed that even though the identified / problematic Data-Agent_queue instances were disabled for PegaAESRemote, the MERGE SQLs continued to fire. To resolve this, an update has been made so the system will skip the copy of rule reference property from RAQ, while creating DAQ.

JobScheduler DST handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When the locale being used changed out of Daylight Savings Time, scheduled jobs did run at the same local time as before but instead ran an hour earlier than expected. Investigation showed that jobscheduler calculated the next runtime based on the time difference from the cluster reference time and current time in milliseconds, and this offset in milliseconds was added to next run time. Since the cluster was started in DST, the job was running on same time due to the time difference. To resolve this, the system will use a calculation offset and set hours/minutes to nextRunTime object so that calendar lib handles daylight savings.

Added expiration for orphaned tracers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
After tracing a REST service, the tracer was persisting but not showing in the requestor list from Admin studio. The operator shown in the error did not have access to the system anymore, and other users were not able to trace the service rule. Trying to clear the requestors in all the nodes using API POST /nodes/{nodeID}/pools/requestor/clear also did not resolve the issue. To address this, a distributed rule watch expiration has been added.

Run Ruleset Cleanup defaults to true
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
After upgrade, the rule categories and rules were not showing correctly in the App view of the Dev Portal. Many warning messages were also logged related to the Decisioning DM Sample application. This was traced to the rules cleanup script not running properly. While there was a workaround of applying the ruleset cleanup scripts manually after removing the queries that reference the pr_engineclasses table, the cleanup will now be set to run by default (run.ruleset.cleanup=true). In addition, the logic to determine which RuleSets to include has been simplified and most of the pr4_rule_vw deletions have been combined.
