Updated retry for context registraton
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
The system was intermittently hanging after importing zipped files. Investigation showed that Batch threads were becoming stuck in AuthorizationContextManagerImpl.setSpecializations() due to a 'while' loop in setSpecializations that was seeking to register the new context. To resolve this, logic has been added which will try to register up to 10 times. If for any reason it can't register, the system will just return the unregister LAC. The check before deregister has also been enhanced and now will only deregister if the new context and the current context are different. It will not call register if the current context and the new context are the same.

Resolved UI styling for layout group with 'run visibility on client'
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
UI styling for Layout Group(Tab) was not working, resulting in the border/background color not being saved for layout groups. This was traced to a scenario where the same property was present in both the "Header" and "Tabs" settings of the layout group and "run visibility on client" was checked for the header, enabling the property at runtime. This has been resolved by modifying pyHeader in "Embed-Skin-Component-LayoutGroup" to uncheck "Run visibility condition on client".

Special character handling improved to ensure MTOM binary contains all data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
The presence of special characters was causing the data to be truncated when moving XOP elements in the SOAP envelope and encoding them into multi-part binary elements (MTOM). This was traced to Connect SOAP With MTOM Option missing some content in the Response data particularly in conjunction with Websphere using a specific JDK version, and has been resolved by modifying the setOptimizeOnChildren method in PRServiceUtilsPriv class to to get all the content.

Requestor.OperatorID page updated to stay in sync with current OperatorID to enable post-Auth activity mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
The systems pages were not getting updated to the right operator's context when a post-Auth activity was used for mapping. To support this use, the UpdateOperatorID trigger has been updated to keep the pxRequestor.OperatorID page in sync with the current operatorID page during SAML. The operator will also be saved during provisioning.

Nodes start as new if replacement start fails
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.6
Cloud upgrade was failing if there was any attempt to scale up the number of instances. Every node starts up with a flag, and in cases of scale-up scenarios, a new instance with this flag was handled as a replacement instance instead of a new instance. That led the new node to fail because it has nothing to replace. To resolve this, the system has been updated so that if an instance failed to start as a replacement, the process will allow the instance to join the cluster as a new node.
