Agent name validation added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After creating an agent name that contained "/", the Agent API returned "Resource not found". This was due to the "/" character's incompatibility with the REST API, and has been resolved by adding agent name validation (pzvalidateagentname) to embed-rule-futurequeue to prevent the inclusion of "/" in an Agent name.

SQL queries modified to use qualified table references
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Portal launch in the development environment was taking an excessive amount of time, as were some standard reports. The PurgeAssemplyDatabaseCache agent activity also generated an error regarding "(internal.cache.RAPurge) ERROR - Purge, unexpected error in removeOldAppCentricCacheData". These issues were traced to SQL queries that contained pr_sys_app_hierarchy_flat without a schema qualifier, and have been resolved by changing to class qualified table references.

Adaptive model retry mechanism enabled
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Adaptive models were missing from the Model Management page as well as in the Prediction studio while similar models for the same proposition, only differing by the Channel name, were visible. This was traced to data not being synchronized between the database and Cassandra. The pegadata.pr_data_adm_factory database table did not contain the record of the missing channel, but Cassandra did. Since the current Cassandra adm_scoringmodel contained model information, the system still believed the model was present. In order to ensure Cassandra and the database table are in sync, an update has been made to enable the retry mechanism "SyncFactoryKeysTask" to create the ADM model in factory table by periodically looking for scoring models without factories or an entry in adm_meta.

Added handling for DSM Services stuck in leaving status after database outage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
During a database outage, the heartbeat would fail and DSM services would eventually try to enter safe mode and stop. As the first step they would try to change the state to LEAVING, but because the database was down saving the LEAVING state failed and the exception was not handled correctly. This resulted in the rest of the stop operation logic not being executed and the service being stuck in LEAVING. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure the service goes to LEAVING_FAILED if anything fails during the stop operation including when setting state to LEAVING_FAILED. The state LEAVING_FAILED will get flushed to the database eventually when it comes back up. This will allow the aggregation service to start from the LEAVING_FAILED state and recover by itself after a database outage.

Interaction History properly saved when running strategy on a different data flow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Customized Interaction History properties that had been added to pyInteractionHistoryConfiguration and pyDefaultWorkingSet and saved into the PR_DATA_IH_FACT table were not being saved properly after upgrading from 7.3 to 8.3. This was a missed use case and has been resolved.
