Deployment user privileges updated for upgrades
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When attempting to upgrade some installations, the upgrade script was failing while trying to determine the current PRPC version. This was caused by the deployment user lacking the DBA privileges to read/write the tables in the rules and data schema, and has been updated.

Resolved Push Node Daily Information exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The "Push Nodes Info Daily" agent was generating an exception on each of the nodes. This has been resolved by enhancing the PegaAESRemote code to handle the exception and get the node info locally, then push it to the console when it is not able to get it via the cluster management API.

Resolved schema qualification for dedicated tables
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When creating a data table / data class via the wizard, selecting "Create Dedicated Table" would show success on the wizard screen but the class was mapped to "pr_other" and an error was logged. This was caused by incorrect schema qualification for WorkHistory, and has been resolved by inserting a requirement for implicit schema privileges.

Agent restart made more resilient
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
During a timeout outage, agents intermittently encountered a NoClassDefFound error and were disabled. After the database connection was restored, the agents were not automatically restarting. This has been resolved by making the code more resilient to errors; agent will be restarted when a temporary issue is detected, and the restart will be immune to most exceptions.

Database Transaction Log update overflow resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When automatic.resume=false was encountered during an update, cleaning up the existing codeset from previous updates ended up filling up the database transaction logs and caused the update to fail. This has been resolved by updating the process of clearing the codeset so it doesn't overflow the transaction log.

Restore point handling updated for absent pzpvstream column
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
While executing the “get restore point” action for rollback, a PZPVSTREAMerror error occurred with the message "(util.HistoryCollectorDataModel) WARN|Rest|SystemManagement|v2|restorepoint - History collection for the table will be slow because it does not have all of the required columns". This was a missed use case for Robotics Automation not having a pzpvstream column for one of the tables; this has been corrected with a check to validate for pzpvstream column so the system will not seek history records if the pzpvstream column is not present.

Resolved deletions issues for tables mapped to shared classes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a class in a tenant was mapped to an external table and the tenant was deleted, the tenant deletion caused the external table to be dropped/deleted as well even though there was a class in the shared layer that was mapped to the same external table. To correct this, tables mapped to shared classes are not deleted during tenant deletion if there is a tenant class mapped to the same table.

Hazelcast packages expanded for Java9+ with kubernetes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Hazelcast warnings were seen in cluster logs when Hazelcast was run in embedded mode or c/s mode on a java modular environment i.e. java 9+ which noted that performance and functional impact issues may result if certain internal modules of java are not given reflection access. This update provides the necessary access to some additional java internal modules/packages per the Hazelcast recommendation.

Major ruleset skim logic updated
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When skimming a ruleset to a new major version, property rules (Rule-Obj-Property) which were available in lower rulesets but withdrawn in a higher ruleset version were skimmed to the new ruleset with their status as Available. This was contrary to expected behavior, as these rules should be ignored and not added to new ruleset. This has been addressed by correcting the logic in the special handling for Rule-Obj-Property types during skimming.

DataOnly upgrade modified to handle pr_data_products tables
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Running the upgrade.bat dataOnly true to upgrade the data schema failed while trying to insert values into the pr_data_products table. Promoting upgraded rules schema to higher environments and then upgrading the data schema is a supported upgrade procedure, but the dataOnly upgrade did not take this into account. The system has been updated such that when migrating post upgrade, it will not migrate pr_data_restore and pr_data_products tables and will fail if there are uncommitted hotfixes.
