MimeTypeHandler added for cloud downloads on mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using the Pega cloud storage repository (Application -> Integration -> Content Storage) with the Google Chrome browser on an android device, it was possible to upload attachments but re-downloading the attachments failed. Investigation showed that this was due to the content-type appearing as application/* so Google Chrome on mobile was not able to identify the file type. This was a missed use-case for returnFileForDownload(), and has been resolved by setting the system to use MimeTypeHandler for getting the content type.

File Listener made more resilient
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When file listener encountered a FileNotFoundException as a consequence of sporadic AmazonS3Exceptions, the listener was disabled and no retries were made. In order to make the file listener more resilient, FileMatchConcentrator has been updated. While file listener is running and trying to get the next set of files, if the isDirectory() method returns false due to a non-existent directory or some other intermittent issues, instead of throwing an exception and shutting down the file listener, the system will now log the exception and continue.

Email listener update for Microsoft Exchange server
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, TooManyObjectsOpenedException/MapiExceptionSessionLimit errors were seen when starting the email listener. Investigation showed that when the listener was started, two sessions were getting opened and then not closed properly. This was a method originally intended to allow the system to re-use the session to minimize performance overhead, but it is not well-suited for use with Microsoft exchange server as the Exchange server is unable to cleanup idle sessions. As a result, too many MAPI sessions were opened and led to an authentication exception while opening additional sessions. To resolve this, an update has been made so the system will close the session while the listener sleeps. This stop, restart and graceful shutdown scenario for single threaded email listener scenarios will create a new session every time and close it properly.

Enhanced logging added to REDUX query references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Diagnostic logging has been added to REDUX query references which will capture information about exceptions that cause the system to fallback to generating legacy references.

Warning added to indicate if QP/JS have been disabled via DASS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Search was not working, and the error “The Flow Action pre-processing activity pzLPSearchManagerMainActivityWrapper failed: java.lang.NullPointerException” appeared in the search landing page. Investigation showed that the environment was configured with disabled BackgroundProcessing, which prevented the QueueProcessor framework from working. There was no notice in the UI of this condition. This has been resolved by adding a warning that will appear if background processing is disabled.

Date field correctly extracted for IMAP inbound email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, email-sourced cases were not being created correctly. Tracer showed the date field was blank, causing an error which was traced to the getReceivedDate being returned as null for the JavaMail AP even though the IMAP protocol was being used. This was an unintended side effect of work done to handle a throttling exception in the IMAP inbound email flow, and has been resolved by updating the system so that if the getReceivedDate is null, the date will be extracted from the mail header while processing dates in EmailMessageInfo class.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
A StringIndexOutOfBoundsException error was occurring when using the getLocalizedText method of ClipboardProperty class if the property's value included an unclosed bracket. E.g.: property value is "(123456". This has been resolved by adding handling in MessageEvaluator.java for this scenario.

Check added to minimize Obj-Open-By-Handle error logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using a Data Type with the "Automatically generate a unique id " option, calling the Save-DataPage method by using the savable data page of the data type finished correctly but showed Obj-Open-By-Handle errors on PegaRules.log. Investigation showed the exception was thrown when running the save plan from DataPageSaverImpl: while attempting to run the save plan, the system does not know whether a parameter (pyGUID in this case) will be required to run the save plan or not, meaning that it can't detect any possible error in DataPageSaverImpl. The implementation instead makes a call to db.open to check if an instance exists and hence logs are thrown. To resolve the error logging, a check has been added: if the save-to class has an autogen key and the savable data page instance doesn't have the autogen key in it, the system will directly call pxCreateRecord. This will avoid a call to db.open to check if instance exists and hence no failed logs will be thrown. This partial change will work only for classes having an autogen key and in cases where the page is trying to create a record by intentionally not passing the key.

Email Listener auto-reply evaluation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, messages were being read but not getting processed for a specific Email listener (RCEmailListerner). The error "Email flagged as an autoreply email and will not be processed" appeared in the logs. Previously, an email was not considered to be an auto-reply only when the 'auto-submitted' header didn't exist or existed with value 'no'. This caused issues with auto-forward or auto-redirect emails where 'auto-submitted:auto-generated' could be in the header. Due to this, email was marked as auto-reply and email listener stopped processing it. To resolve this, the system has been modified to mark the message as auto-reply if it finds 'auto-submitted: auto-replied' in the header, but not 'auto-submitted:auto-generated'.
