Connect MQ rules configured with alias queue do not work after upgrade
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
Connect MQ rules that you defined with an alias queue in earlier versions of Pega Platform do not work after an upgrade to Pega Platform 8.6.
Upgrade impact
If you defined an alias queue in Connect MQ rules, after an upgrade to Pega Platform 8.6, those Connect MQ rules do not work.
What steps are required to update an application to be compatible with this change?
In the Pega-IntegrationEngine ruleset, create the following dynamic system settings and their default values:
- "mq/pmo" = 0
- "mq/gmo" = 0
- "mq/oo_request" = 1040
- "mq/oo_response" = 16
For more information, see Creating a dynamic system setting.
Naming pattern changed for file data sets
Valid from Pega Version 8.6.3
File data sets are used to import from and export data to a file repository. In case of data export, prior to version 8.6.3, the first file exported had the same file name that was provided by the user in the data set, and any subsequent file exported to the repository had a unique identifier appended to it. Starting in Pega Platform version 8.6.3, each file has a unique identifier, automatically generated based on the data flow node, thread ID, and timestamp.
Upgrade impact
If your process to consume output files expects files with a specific name, it may not be able to process the resulting files correctly.
What steps are required to update the application to be compatible with this change?
If you have configured the process before updating to Pega Platform version 8.6.3, but the exported files are no longer recognized by downstream processing logic after the upgrade, ensure that the downstream tool is configured to recognize the files by a pattern rather than the full name. For example, when referring to files exported to the repository, use the * character to indicate a pattern instead of using the full file name. For example, use Export*.csv to refer to the files.
Facebook and YouTube data sets are deprecated
Pega Platform™ no longer supports the data set types in the Social category:
- Facebook data sets
- YouTube data sets
These features are deprecated and will be removed in future Pega Platform versions. Do not create any data sets using the Facebook or YouTube types.
