Oracle/Unix documentation updated with JDBC instructions for urandom instead of random
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
The Install/Upgrade guides have been updated to reflect that recent changes to Oracle have created the requirement of forcing the JDBC driver to use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random to improve security as well as connection open and close performance. The guide now recommends customers running Oracle on Unix do one of the following: 1. Update $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security to use securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom 2. Set system property -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom

Reference to outdated property removed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When building a system with WebSphere 8.5.5, DB2 10.5fp7 and Java 8, creating the environment and testing the connection on its datasource produced the warning: "DSRA8200W: DataSource Configuration: DSRA8020E: Warning: The property 'progressiveLocators' does not exist.". This was traced to a code fragment left after that property became unsupported which has now been removed.

Hot Fix Manager updated to use installation order for schema import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Schema changes were not being imported during the hot fix manager DL import process. Investigation showed this was due to hotfixes in the DL being iterated over from newest to oldest, causing older hotfixes to replace the value added to a map by the newer. To resolve this, the system has been updated to use hotfix install order, which considers selected and dependent hotfixes, rather than ordering newest to oldest. This ensures that newer table representations will override older rather than the other way around.

IOException handling improved to resolve broken pipe errors
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Frequent "connection reset by peers" exceptions were being generated and broken-pipe exceptions were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to unhanded IOExceptions on the server side that were a result of the client application not always closing the TCP connection gracefully. To resolve this, error handling for IOExceptions has been improved.

Directory traversal blocked in zip import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
One of the files contained in a zip archive was not deleted from the system after zip import. This was due to the file being created by a third-party archive that included of a directory traversal character that caused it to be inflated outside of the temp directory. To resolve this, a check has been added to that a file with directory traversal characters in its name will not be inflated.

JDBC URL handling added for Oracle over TCPS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
While attempting to upgrade an environment over TCPS, the generateDDL.sh script was failing. The same environment ran without issue on Tomcat with the same URL. Investigation showed the JDBC url was not correctly generated while running the upgrade: in a standard scenario, there will be no spaces in the JDBC URL specified. However, because Oracle can send spaces as part of JDBC URL and cause this issue, an update has been made which will quote the JDBC URL argument for the ant target in setupDDL.xml.

Check for circular references added to SearchInventoryImpl to prevent recursive call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
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.
