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.

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".

Addressed sporadic NPE while restoring passivated newassign pages
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
A sporadic NPE error was appearing in a single node of a multi-node environment when attempting to restore the passivated page 'newAssignPage' for Thread STANDARD. This was traced to the absence of a null safety check while retrieving pagelists from xmlcontentmap, and this has been added.

Key Value Store handling revised for greater backwards compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Previous optimization work done to reduce the size of the "nm" field when the hierarchy string is empty resulted in some Key Value Store records not being read from older systems during update. This has been corrected.

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.

Hazelcast remote execution not called from synchronized context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After navigating to the Admin Studio portal to view the nodes, the portal was temporarily freezing. Investigation of the thread dump revealed this was caused by a DDS pulse sending a remote execution call to all nodes to update logger settings even though the site was not using DDS. This has been resolved by updating the system to avoid calling Hazelcast remote execution from a synchronized context.

Scenario Planner performance improvements
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Scenario planner runs were causing out of memory errors on the dataflow nodes. To resolve this, updates have been made to improve performance. Only relevant information will be kept for decision funnel simulations out of SR pages, the memory footprint of data structures used to aggregate and rollup counts has been reduced, and temporary objects will be released as soon as they are not needed anymore.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.7

Email Listener handling added for duplicate-name image files
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When an email contained several images with the same name, the Email Listener was processing only one of the attached images and ignoring the others. This was a missed case - the system calls addRequestAttachmentUnique to handle duplicate filenames of other types, but image types were not covered. This has been added.
