Certificate match will use Subject Distinguished Name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Signature verification was failing due to the system not finding the matching root certificate for the chain. The root certificate was in the trust store, but the system found a different certificate first and that other certificate (an intermediate certificate) was not considered a valid certificate for validating the whole certificate chain. This was traced to filtering on the Issuer Distinguished Name (DN) instead of the Subject DN and was due to intermediate certificates potentially having the same Issuer as a root certificate (e.g. if that root certificate was used to create the intermediate certificate). To resolve this, an update has been made to check the Subject DN instead of Issuer DN.

Upgrade does not exit when encountering corrupt ruleset name
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
In order to avoid upgrade failures caused by an application rule existing without a version (corrupted data), handling has been added so that the upgrade will not fail if it encounters an application rule without either a name or version.

Admin Studio will consider cluster protocol when returning listener status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using a few nodes in standalone mode for BIX extract combined with server nodes using Hazelcast, opening the admin studio pages with service discovery caused an error to be thrown. This was traced to the system writing an entry to pr_sys_statusnodes table as an embedded node whenever a BIX extract was triggered, causing those standalone nodes to be incorrectly considered by the listener landing page. This has been resolved by configuring the system to either return the local member when the cluster protocol is standalone or to return all Hazelcast members if the cluster protocol is Hazelcast.

Hot Fix Manager updated to use installation order for schema import
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Schema changes were not being imported during the hot fix manager DL import process. Investigation showed this was due to hotfixes in the DL being iterated over from newest to oldest, causing older hotfixes to replace the value added to a map by the newer. To resolve this, the system has been updated to use hotfix install order, which considers selected and dependent hotfixes, rather than ordering newest to oldest. This ensures that newer table representations will override older rather than the other way around.

Handling added for using virtual network interface for Stream Services startup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, the restart of any node failed with the error "Unable to create DSM service DATA-DECISION-SERVICE-STREAMSERVER DEFAULT". This has been resolved by adding support for allowing stream service to start on the virtual network interface in cases where it was explicitly configured via the "cluster/hazelcast/interface".

Enhancements added for external Kafka Stream Service
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
To ensure data privacy when using multi-tenant Stream Service hosted on a single Kafka cluster, access will be authorized based on ACLs when a tenant sends direct requests to Kafka. In addition, all Kafka resources (topics and consumer groups) are now able to contain a prefix naming convention which can be used for tenants. This is handled through using a <env name="services/stream/name/pattern" value="{tenant.name}-{environment}-{stream.name}"/> prconfig setting to set the stream name pattern. For example, if the tenant.name is resolved into "companyname", environment into "prod1", and the stream dataset name is pyFTSIncrementalIndexer, then the Topic name created on the external Kafka will be companyname-prod1-pyFTSIncrementalIndexer.

Fixed SMA broken item requeue
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When attempting to requeue a broken item using the SMA, the requeue failed with an error about Attribute Based Access Control. This was traced to the API passing a thread object that did not have any executable associated with it; the system will now create a new executable instance if the getThread().retrieveContext() is null.

Performance improvements for revalidate and save
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In order to improve performance when working with very large numbers of class definitions, an update has been made to optimize the revalidate and save process by avoiding looking up all classes on the system instead using ClassDefinition for existence and checking ancestor data to ensure class is a Rule- or Data- descendant.

Upgrade App Schema generates unique index name IDs
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Upgrade Schema index was not incrementing the system-generated index name properly, resulting in duplicate names and a failure to execute new recommendations. This was an issue with duplicate indexes being generated through the UpgradeApplicationSchema Landing Page when the hash truncation matched indexes incorrectly. This has been resolved by using both the table name and the index name to ensure unique IDs.
