Updated handling for batch indexing cancellation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Entries were seen in the pyBatchindex QP even when indexing was not in progress. Investigation showed that if an exception occurred during the cancel process, the pyStatusWork property in Log-Cluster-FTSIndex instance was not correctly updated and the value remained as CancelInProgress. As a result, SLP silently remained in the state of waiting for the completion of cancel operation. This has been resolved by updating the handling of the cancellation process to ensure the queue is correctly cleared and email notifications are sent as expected.

Re-indexing correctly triggers old index deletion
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
There was no request to delete the old index when a new reindexing process was started, resulting in the new data being put into the already existing index. This was traced to a logic flaw which evaluated a condition as false under certain conditions. This 'If' condition has been fixed and simplified so the process responsible for recreating the ElasticSearch index is accessible for the scenario of reindexing an entire index without specifying include or exclude classes.

Handling added for clearing node killed between assignment and processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An Offer flow was not resuming after it expired according to the wait shape. Investigation traced this to partitions which were assigned to a dead node in NEW state where they were not picked up by the dataflow. The problem was only encountered in the unusual situation when a dataflow node was killed in the brief period of time between the assignment and the processing, and has been resolved by adding an update which will clear unknown new assigned partitions for the batch run health task.

Additional diagnostic logging added for ElasticSearch startup issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The PyIndexerState was stuck in Starting status during node initialization. This issue could occur if the filesystem became hung due to network level issue while scanning entries from /etc/mtab, resulting in a lock which was not released correctly. In order to better determine which node entry in a cluster may be responsible for the hang, an update has been made which will use a temporary virtual environment to repeat the part of the initialization phase responsible and generate additional logs for debugging. To activate this, the PegaSearch.Diagnostics logger must be set in DEBUG mode. This duplicated virtual initialization will not interrupt the normal initialization.

Keystore update properly revises the cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A keystore updated with the latest certificate was not getting reflected in the runtime and the old certificate was getting picked. In a multi-node environment when the new JKS is uploaded in one node, the changes are expected to be communicated to other nodes so that the cache can be cleaned up. In this case, investigation showed that the keystore label was in uppercase and the cache entry was not correctly removed. This has been resolved by adding an update that will convert the cache key to lowercase and maintain uniformity to ensure proper cleanup.

Handling updated for UpgradeBeforeOpening
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, an email case paused for 1 minute with a wait shape and then resumed by a ServiceLevelEvents agent seemed to lose the context (class) of the case and went into the broken processes queue with the error "Unable to open an instance using the given inputs: pxObjClass = "Work-Channel-Triage"". This was traced to an incorrect class applied by the activity OpenAndLockWork which assumed that "Work-Channel-Triage" was the preferred class and passed in the case ID as a parameter. To resolve this, pzUpgradeBeforeOpening has been updated such that it will migrate a case only if it has "WORK-CHANNEL-TRIAGE" in the work object inskey.

Cancel button on embedded GridRow cancels single action
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a modal Flow Action contained a Table with the Row operations configured as Master-detail and the Detail flow action was specified, if a validation error defined in a Validation rule (i.e. other than required field error) occurred while entering details for one of the rows and the Cancel button for that row was clicked, the entire action was cancelled and the modal window was closed without saving anything. This has been resolved by updating the system to prevent the modal closure if a row is added and then cancelled.

Links to specifications persist appropriately
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When linking Rules to Specifications, check-ins of some unrelated rules deleted the link. Investigation showed the deletion happened in the pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn activity, and was caused by an empty parameter page name that caused pcInsKey to not have a value, so all links returned by "Obj-Browse" were later deleted. To resolve this, an update has been made to insure the "Pass current parameter page" option in step 2 of the Connect REST PostCheckIn activity is enabled so that the downstream activity pzHandleLinksPostCheckIn behaves as expected.

Performance improvements for stale thread warnings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Stale thread warnings were causing performance issues during dataflow run execution. Stale thread/slow component warnings are added as part of the dataflow execution when a processing thread takes more than 5 minutes to process a single dataflow record. The stacktrace of the dataflow thread is added as part of the warning for debugging purposes, but in some scenarios the stacktrace can become very large. This has been resolved by removing the stacktraces from the warning, improving the query logic, and adding the run ID to the exception method to assist if there is an error.
