Updated access group handling for CurrentWorkPool property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After update, the pxThread.pxCurrentWorkPool property was not properly populated in App Requestors when the activity was called from Rest service. This was caused by a difference in the authentication check after a security modification, and has been resolved.

Handling added updates involving Oracle descending column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The build was failing when attempting to update to Pega 8.6, and an error indicating an issue with Oracle columns was generated. Investigation showed that when a column changed that belonged to an index which had a 'desc' column (even if the changed column was not specified as desc), an Oracle restriction was triggered. This occurred with any column size increase if the column participated in an index containing a descending column or a function index. This has been resolved by adding a step to drop the index before altering the column if a Descending index is involved, and to catch the case where the resized index is part of an index that has a descending column but is not necessarily a descending column itself.

Updated XMLDataToPage privilege
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Cases were not being created or moved due to a privilege issue on EndUser portal after update. This was traced to the XmlDataToPage activity now including the OpenDeveloperForm privilege, which end user operator profiles do not have. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by updating XMLDataToPage so it requires authentication but not privilege to run.

InsID will be derived from handle if null for upgrade
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8 failed with a null pointer exception in the “Upgrade Context” target. This was traced to a rule where the pxInsID was null. To resolve this, an update has been made to derive the InsID from handle when needed.

Cases processed during archiving
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Cases were not being properly processed during archiving. This was traced to a missing pxObjClass in the clipboard page when the work index was being deleted, and has been resolved by adding pxObjClass to the clipboard page before sending the request for deletion.

PEGA SOAP Service MTOM attachment handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After configuring a PEGA SOAP service with the Enable MTOM checked, sending a SOAP request with attachment to the service returned an invalid request error stating "Value of content length header is greater than zero - [762], but this request has empty POST". Investigation showed that when the input request reached the getPostBytes method and inputstream tried to read it, there were no available bytes and end of file was detected. This was due to the inputstream having already been read in getMultiPartSOAPHandler() method in FileUploadHandler class. To resolve this, the system will update an 'if' condition in getPostBytes method to skip reading the request attachment when contentType is "multipart/related".

ServicePackage thread handling improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Work recently done to improve the release of requestor pool threads for the ServicePackage has been further enhanced by adding an explicit status notification to the thread waiting for Data Pages to be loaded in background and added support for the use case of a missing object handler. This also resolves a 504 Gateway Time-out error intermittently seen while trying to open the URL of the Pega application.
