Removed automated cleanup of old DSS entries to resolve memory issue
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
VBD was issuing an expensive query while attempting to clean up old DSS entries. The old entries were dynamically created with node ID as part of the setting key (vbd/pulse/{nodeid}, and vbd/cluster/{nodeid}). The cleanup logic attempts to get the list of all matching keys to delete by iterating the list of system settings and grabbing the ones that match these patterns. On some systems, there are enough system settings in the DB that it resulted in a memory issue. To avoid this issue, the automated cleanup process has been removed.

Added ignorecase to correct authorization issue for username in all capitals
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
It was not possible to delete a case note or attachment while logged in with a user ID containing all capital letters. This has been corrected by changing the equals comparison of .pxCreateOperator and pxRequestor.pyUserIdentifier to equalsIgnoreCase in CanDeleteAttachments access whens, HaveAttachmentDeletePrivileges when rule, pxHaveAttachmentSpecificAccess RUF, and HaveAttachmentSpecificAccess RUF.

Updates to controls and labels
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
Issue 413604:When configuring a button with a disable condition, the condition was not returned in the readonly field. The PegaAPI has now been updated to support "disable". Issue 413597 / 413598: While calling the API to get the view of the screen as a JSON format, button type controls were not returning the label of the field using the OOB pxButton control. This has been fixed. Issue 413625: The PegaAPI section was missing when using clipboard page or data page with the rest method. To correct this, support for Embedded page has been added in the pyWorkPage for PegaAPI.

TokenRangePartitioner modified to avoid Cassandra timeouts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The previous DSS settings caused the DDS dataset on Browse to create thousands of partitions. This caused thousands of files to be created for a file dataset which uses a DDS dataset as input. In order to reduce the number of partitions while still being able to take advantage of the changes to ensure Cassandra always reads from the local node and thus avoid the timeout, the TokenRangePartitioner will now create composite partitions with multiple token ranges (up to 60) per partition. This will reduce the number of files created by a factor of 60 reducing the number of files created from 60 - 100. Additionally, timestamp accuracy issue and batching for single case data flows have been fixed.

Improved security on attachments added in Case and Pulse
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
Data-Content-Image instances were getting created for attachments added in Case and Pulse. Since Data-Content-Image doesn't correspond to security once they are cached, they could be accessed by any authenticated user. To correct this, extensions have been added to stop generating Data-Content-Image while creating a pulse attachment post or case attachment.

Synchronized block method added to load keystore set with RUF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
A recent enhancement allows for the SAML auth service to use a reference to an external file for the signing certificate keystore. When the keystore had the password set using a Rule-Utility-Function, rather than being static, there were intermittent login fails with the error "unable to process SAML WebSSO request1" on the screen, and the RULES logs contained thousands of entries of an error indicating "Password is wrong". It was sometimes possible to log in by starting a new browser sessions and trying again. This was an issue with the PasswordHash property being changed from a static to a non-static field: it was not thread safe, though each object got its own copy of the instance, because if two or more threads call the setPasswordHash() method on the same object, all of these threads tried to simultaneously update the passwordHash instance variable and incorrect results were seen. To correct this, the system will use a synchronized block when loading the entries into cache in the getKey() method - Caller function of KeystoreCacheImpl.java.

Agent Access Group corruption resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The Access Group used by agents was intermittently becoming corrupted. This was caused by a timing issue where sometimes the conclusion was built before the rulesets to the requestor were set up, resulting in the role being added to the RoleNotFound cache. To resolve this, the RoleNotFound cache has been removed so that every time a role lookup happens the system will check the database.
